Online Management Solution for Unlimited Rigtone and Wallpaper Storage and Backup Now Offered by 16 Carriers Worldwide

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumitrend, a premier provider of next-generation, easy-to-use mobile applications, announced today that twelve additional carriers have adopted Ringvault, the company's online application providing unlimited back-up and storage space for ringtones and wallpaper. The addition of ACS Alaska, Bermuda Digital, BlueGrass Cellular, Centennial de Puerto Rico, Guamcell, Movistar Peru, Movistar Colombia, Movistar Venezuela, Pioneer Cellular, Eloqui Wireless, Cellcom, and U.S.-based Unicel, increases Lumitrend's carrier list to 16 providers worldwide. Combined with the initial partnerships, including Verizon International, Midwest Wireless, nTelos and Movistar Ecuador, Ringvault is available to a potential customer base of approximately 12 million cell phone users.

"The rapid adoption of Ringvault by carriers around the world is a direct result of consumers wanting to protect their investment in ringtones and wallpaper," said Rob Meadows, co-founder and CEO of Lumitrend. "With mobile content sales in the U.S. expected to reach $724 million by 2009, we expect demand for Ringvault among U.S. carriers to increase dramatically over the coming months."

Most cell phones today store only a handful of ringtones, which often forces consumers to delete items they have purchased in order to purchase new ones. Ringvault is the first backup and online management solution for ringtones and wallpaper that allows for unlimited customization of cell phones, without storage space limitations or special equipment for synchronizing.

With Ringvault, cell phone users can purchase ringtones or wallpaper from vendors, then store them in a permanent "vault," a secure Web site at www.ringvault.com. They can then restore any items they need quickly and easily any time they want, even on a new cell phone.
