bmobile brings Tempo to the palm of your hand
Kingston, Jamaica – Cable & Wireless revealed that bmobile will launch exclusive handsets pre-loaded with content from Tempo, the new MTV network launching in the Caribbean next month.
In partnership with Tempo and Motorola, bmobile will offer the v186 handset throughout the Caribbean, as well as the v172 in Jamaica.
The handsets come with free pre-loaded Tempo wallpapers and ringtones. “This is an exclusive product that provides access to content representing some of the hottest Caribbean artistes – both legendary, established artists, such as Jimmy Cliff, and rising stars like H2O Phlo,” commented Rachelle Franklin, senior vice president, corporate marketing, Cable & Wireless Caribbean. “Our content launch is timed to complement the launch of Tempo. As the Tempo channel and programming grows, so will the content offerings to bmobile customers,” continued Franklin.
Said Frederick Morton, “We are very pleased that through our partnership with Cable & Wireless/bmobile, we can further bring Tempo into people’s lives through their mobile phones. Providing people with a means for expressing themselves with a ringtone or wallpaper from their favorite artiste is a great way to celebrate the vibrant Caribbean identity we are working to convey with the channel.”
Customers will be able to access a wide range of ringtones, wallpapers, games, celebrity gossip, music news, and other Tempo content via the Tempo homepage on the bmobile mobile portal, set to launch December of this year.
