Cingular Lets Musicians Create, Sell Ring Tones

Cingular Wireless began a program to let independent musicians create and sell ring tones through News Corp.’s MySpace.com, an online social networking site.

Cingular is working with InfoSpace Inc., a seller of ring tones, mobile-phone games and data, to create the tones, David Garver, executive director of marketing for Cingular, said at the CTIA Wireless 2006 trade show in Las Vegas.

Wireless carriers are adding non-voice services such as ring tones, text messaging, video clips and music to increase monthly revenue.
