Cell
phones are all the rage these days. Everywhere you go, you see someone talking
on their phone, sending text messages or talking into a blue tooth headset
sticking out of their ear. It’s become commonplace to see people alone in cars
actively having a conversation. Cell phones have gone from being a luxury for
the rich, to a necessity for all. Even kids in middle school are using cell
phones to call parents when its time to be picked up from the mall.
With
all the cell phone usage out there, comes the opportunity to accessorize. Many
cell phone providers offer special ringtones, wallpaper and games for an additional
fee. But there are other sites that offer more extended versions of all these
things and more. Thumbplay is a popular provider of extended cell phone
services. Thumbplay offers musical ringtones in almost 50 genres such as hip
hop, hard rock, dance, indie, smooth R&B, all the classics and even college
fight songs. Currently there are over 10,000 downloadable ringtones available
through Thumbplay. There are also seven different genres of games available
from Thumbplay including arcade puzzle, board games, racing, sports and
strategy.
If
you’re interested in wallpaper to give your phone a unique look of self
expression, there are 18 genres including sports, cartoons, or the best selling
link for the wallpapers that are most popular.
Thumbplay
also offers celebrity gossip, daily horoscopes and jokes sent directly to your
phone through their texting service. A couple of other options available
through the text service include Daily Insults, Bible Quotes, Booze Tips, Daily
Inspiration and Hip Hop Gossip. If you have a specific song, game or wallpaper that you’re looking
for, you can search through the Thumbplay site for it, or just look around for
what grabs your attention.
Many
wonder if this service will work for their phone or service provider. Thumbplay
works with most major providers and phone manufacturers including: Nokia,
Samsung, Sony, Ericcson, Motorola, LG, Panasonic, Boost, Sprint PCS, AT&T,
Nextel, T-Mobile and Cingular. Thumbplay also touts amazing 24/7 customer
service to its subscribers. This is extremely helpful to those that might be
out late and having trouble with their wallpaper or ringtone.
Another
appealing feature to Thumbplay is the cost. The pricing structure is based on a
credit system, so if you pay $9.99 per month, you receive 10 downloads. New
members receive 10 bonus downloads for free. The pricing information is a bit
difficult to find beyond that, but each download appears to be worth one
credit. You can also sign up for an account with Thumbplay for free and share
pictures with friends. The only real pricing comes with downloading of
ringtones, games or wallpaper.
