New ringtones, logos and picture messages add even more fun and flavour for mobile phone users. SYDNEY, June 27, 2001 You Can't Stop the Music anymore thanks to Yahoo! Australia & NZ who continue to redefine the net experience for local web users. Yahoo!'s Mobile site (http://mobile.yahoo.com.au) now lets you personalise your mobile phone with fun new ringtones, logos and picture messages. If you are Born To Be Wild and you just want to Beat It, Celebrate and discover A Whole New World, then click on the Ringtones link on the main page of the Yahoo! Australia & NZ Mobile site where you will find a huge range of tunes to select from for your mobile phone. You can listen to the ringtones and when you find one you like, simply download for a small fee by dialling the 1900 number you'll find on the site. "Yahoo! users have shown great interest in ringtones and logos for their mobiles, so we've decided to work with one of the key providers in the market, iTouch, to provide our users with the most up to date range of tunes for their mobile phones" explained Rachel Watt, senior producer, Yahoo! Australia & NZ. "With Mobile phones becoming an increasingly indispensable item for so many people, we see the introduction of Ringtones and logos on Yahoo! Australia & NZ Mobile as the first of many product and services enhancements." "People like to be individuals so there's a huge choice of ring tones to add that fun, serious or sexy touch. You can express whatever mood you are in by using your mobile phone," she added. Something a little more discreet than a ring tone, but just as cool is a logo - a graphic image that can replace your mobile service carrier text. There's a huge range of logos from which you can choose a special one to download to your phone's screen, ranging from racing cars to romantic hearts and flowers. Another creative way of communicating with your friends is by sending a picture message - a graphic that can be used with a short message or to replace a short message, making your communication as original as possible. Whether it is romance, love, fun or a special occasion you can now express yourself all through your mobile. Ring tones, picture messages, operator logos and all the latest information on your mobile phone will never be the same again thanks to the ever-growing and integrated array of tools and content provided by Yahoo! Australia & NZ.
