Callers Will Be Entertained While Waiting to Connect


DALLAS, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 25, 2006 -- Preferred Voice, Inc. (OTC BB😛FVI.OB - News), a leading provider of mobile personalization and content services announced today that they have signed a contract with MetroPCS Communications, Inc., to provide their ringback tone platform. The Preferred Voice platform replaces the traditional ringing sound (or ringback) heard by the calling party when a call is connecting to a wireless, wireline, or broadband connection. Preferred Voice provides a complete end-to-end solution including the technology platform, proprietary ringback software, and a robust content library.

The application will enable MetroPCS subscribers to entertain callers who are waiting for them to answer by playing various types of music, movie sound clips, and greetings from numerous celebrities instead of the traditional 'ring, ring.'

"The Preferred Voice ringback application will be a great addition to MetroPCS' catalogue of services," says Roger Linquist, CEO and President of MetroPCS.


THE QUESTION IS WHEN DOES METRO PCS LAUNCH THIS NEW APPLICATION BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE KNOWING WHEN I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, for all who don't know, if you have a metro you phone rings like brrrr beap! instead of brrrrrp

Maybe you should call MetroPCS about that, because here in Miami this used to be the case, but most likely due to privacy concerns/complaints it was changed. Now there is no way to know if you're on a call or if it rings normally.
