VeriSign Enables Canadian Carriers to Launch
Nature Tones for Earth Day
Mobile Users Can Now Hear the Call of the Wild with New Nature Ring
Tones
Toronto and Mountain View, Calif. – April 22, 2007 – Whether
they prefer the call of the flycatcher or the song of a swallow, Canadians
soon can surround themselves with nature sounds, with new ring tones
for mobile phones and PDAs. “Nature Tones” are the latest in enhanced
content that VeriSign, Inc., the leading provider of digital infrastructure
for the networked world, is enabling mobile carriers to deliver to consumers
throughout Canada.
As the world celebrates Earth Day 2007, a number of
Canadian carriers and mobile content store fronts are introducing new
lifelike “bird calls” that offer Canadians a more calming alternative
to the standard trills and beeps of a mobile phone.
VeriSign’s Intelligent Portal Services enables the
next-generation mobile marketplace through customer branded mobile content
and application storefronts for mobile carriers.
"We are helping Canadian carriers reach out to
nature lovers, providing them with ring tones that reflect their interests
and passions," said Aran Hamilton, Canadian regional vice president
for VeriSign. "There is something fun and soothing about hearing
the call of the sparrow in midst of the urban jungle."
The Earth Day release includes 13 bird calls – from
blue jays and blackbirds to roosters and owls – and will soon be expanded
to include other animals.
