AT&T Introduces Celebrity 'Ringtone A-List'

AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) announced today the launch of the 'Ringtone A-List', a new Web site that unveils the sounds found on the wireless phones of today's top stars. Currently listed on the site are Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port and Audrina Patridge of MTV's hit reality show "The Hills" as well as Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and actor Mario and international pop vocalist Leona Lewis.

(Editor's Note: I must be getting old because I didn't know who any of these "stars" were but I did recognize the ringtones they like...)

"We are excited to be able to bring fans the opportunity to find out, listen to and even purchase the ringtones found on the wireless phones of today's hottest actors, musicians and athletes," said Rob Hyatt, executive director of Premium Content for AT&T's wireless operations. "For us, the Ringtone A-list is just one more way that we're able to connect people to their world."

Each month, the Ringtone A-List will feature a selection of stars from TV, film, music and sports. Fans will have the opportunity to learn which tones each celebrity has downloaded to his or her wireless phone, preview an audio clip and, if they wish, purchase the tone directly from the Web site.

Featured talent, which will be updated monthly, has included members of Panic at the Disco, Webbie, James Otto and Justin McBride.
