mVisible™ and mBlox Partner to Deliver Carrier-Grade Premium Content for Independent Musicians
(DEERFIELD BEACH, FL) - mVisible™ Technologies, a company that creates technology, products,
and services that simplify the delivery of content to mobile devices, today announced that it has partnered
with mBlox, the world’s largest mobile transaction network. The deal allows the thousands of artists using
mVisible's popular MyxerTones™ (www.myxertones.com)
website to sell ringtones and other mobile content to
their fans using mBlox's premium SMS billing infrastructure. mBlox will handle messaging and billing services
for MyxerTones customers on all of the major U.S. mobile carriers, including Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile, and
Verizon.
MyxerTones allows independent musicians and other content owners to quickly and easily sell their unique
ringtones directly from their own websites or MySpace pages using mVisible’s patent-pending MyxerTags™
technology. Artists can also sell their ringtones and wallpapers over the air by assigning MyxerCodes™ to
their content and instructing fans to text the code to MYXER (69937). More than 7,500 indie artists have
used MyxerTones to share and sell their content since it launched last spring.
“mBlox’s extensive network, its established relationships with all the major U.S. carriers, and its commitment
to customer service make it the clear choice to handle messaging and premium SMS billing for MyxerTones in
the U.S.,” said mVisible founder and CTO Myk Willis. “With this partnership, we can offer indie and unsigned
artists the same access to the mobile content market as that enjoyed by major label recording artists.”
“The continuing success of mobile content is driven by innovative companies like mVisible,” said Jay Emmet,
mBlox President of Americas. “mVisible has the vision and diversity of offerings to ensure that mobile content
offerings remain fresh, edgy and appealing to a cross-section of consumers.”
