Cell phone rings will never be the same, thanks to the Pepsi Cool Tones & Motorola Phones promotion, which begins today. For the first time ever in a large-scale national promotion, music fans can download* new ringtones written and recorded by today's top artists specifically for the ringtone format, a length of 40 seconds or less.
Pepsi and Motorola are teaming up to offer access to an unprecedented 150 original music and voice ringtones by Grammy Award-winning artists and producers. Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, The All-American Rejects and renowned producers Scott Storch and Luny Tunes are a few of the artists who have produced new ringtones that will only be available through the Pepsi Cool Tones & Motorola Phones promotion.
