Cricket and LiveWire launched Mobile Music, allowing Cricket customers to
download songs directly to their wireless devices and/or
personal computers with a special Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em promotion “Kiss Me Thru the Phone.”
Customers can search music by artist, album, song and genre to
purchase tracks and download them directly to their Cricket phone for
$1.99 each, or receive three download credits for a $5 monthly charge.
Songs are available online at www.mycricket.com for $.99 each and
customers can use Cricket’s Music Manager software to sideload the
tracks to their mobile phone, or buy two copies of each song, one for
their PC and one for their phone for $2.25 per song.
To kick-off the new Mobile Music offering, Cricket has partnered
with Grammy-nominated artist and record producer Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em
for a multifaceted promotion featuring his new hit single “Kiss Me Thru
the Phone.”
Through February 14, ringback tone subscribers can get a
limited license free copy of the new single to be used for two weeks,
the first 100 customers to download the track each day during the
promotion will receive it for free, and customers will have a chance to
enter an online contest to win one of 500 Samsung Jet Set handsets and
a free month of Cricket service. Additionally, ringback tone, Mobile
Music and Mobile Video customers can enter a download to win contest,
whereby each download or new subscription is a chance to win a trip for
two to see Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em in concert and an exclusive meet and
greet.
Customers can sign up for Mobile Music over the air, online or at
Cricket stores and dealers. To experience the Mobile Music customers
need a music-capable Cricket 3G handset, with an integrated music
player and memory card. Mobile Music is currently available on
Cricket’s 3G devices, including the Motorola ROKR, KRZR, SLVR and RZR2;
and Samsung JetSet, r610 and r500.
