Word Records Launches Online Ringtone Store
Premier Christian record label Word Records announced last week its launching of the first ever online store for Christian ringtones, reports The Christian Post.
"Supporting AT&T Wireless, Cingular, Sprint PCS and T-Mobile, “Word Records Ringtown” (www.wordrecords.com) will feature more than 80 polyphonic (keyboard simulations), mastertones (album recordings) and voice ringtones from Christian artists.
Not only will the ringtones be available at the Word Records website but the label has also begun offering online ringtone stores for individual Christian artists, the first being launched for rock group Stellar Kart.
In addition to the label's innovative response to the rapidly emerging ringtone market, Word has partenered in the ringback tone services recently launched by T-Mobile and Verizon."
