Bob Marley nabbed in Fever exculsive

FREEMOBILE.COM IS claiming to be the only mobile content site currently allowed to offer Bob Marley music and images in the North American market. Worse still for Marley fans, the site is only currently available to Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile subscribers.

Aiming at becoming the leading US based content provider, Kargo has followed the typical American model of selling content to mobile phone users through a monthly subscription rather than by Premium Rate SMS (text).

Kargo has even filed a patent on its system of rolling over unused credits. The new service follows on from its existing Fever storefront which has been one of the most popular Cingular Wireless destinations since it launched back in 2004.

Along with the usual stuff of games and MP3 ringtones, Kargo is offering video ringtones plus what it calls 'celebrity voicetones'. The company also offers 'master tones' but doesn't explain what they are. Fortunately for Marley fans, Kargo already has close relationships with the other US carriers so they won't have to consider switching networks.

As Bob would say, if you ain't on Cingular or T-Mobile right now, "No woman, no cry." µ
