OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Mar 10, 2003 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- People have always talked into their phones; now their phones are talking back. Sprint (NYSE: FON, PCS), which operates the largest all-digital, all-CDMA Third-Generation (3G) wireless network in the United States, today announces a new category of downloadable ringers: Voice Ringers. Customers can choose from male or female voice ringers to alert them to an incoming phone call or new message (voice or text) or celebrity voices, for example the Urban artist Lil' Mo.

Voice ringers come in one of three categories: Celebrities/Rock Stars, Female and Male. Initial celebrity voice ringers include Warner Music Group artists such as Lil' Mo ("Hey, Lil' Mo here. That's your people from next door callin' you. PICK UP THE PHONE!") and Urban artist SK ("You better pick up the phone. You got playaz and shortys callin'"). Other voice ringers include an army sergeant ("Mail Call!") and a female voice singing, "Please answer the phone." Additional voice ringers will be added in the coming months.
"Consumers want their phones to be unique -- whether it's the hottest new handset or a personalized ringer," said Chip Novick, vice president of consumer marketing for the PCS division of Sprint. "Voice ringers give our PCS Vision customers a unique, fun way to customize their PCS Phones and the ability to assign specific voices for individual callers."
Voice Ringers is the latest application from PCS Vision from Sprint, which includes services that allow customers to take and receive pictures from select PCS Phones; hear and watch streamed news, information and music clips; check personal and corporate e-mail; download polyphonic and animated ringers and full-color, graphically-rich games and screen savers. Voice Ringers are $2 per download and can be accessed from PCS Vision Phones by going to the Applications folder/Ringers/Get New.
