Cellular phone fun reaches a new high

Globe Telecom brings new meaning to the word connectivity with its new Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).

The MMS, the evolution of Short Messaging Services (MMS), allows Globe plan and prepaid subscribers to send messages containing the usual text, plus graphics, photographic images and audio between MMS-capable mobile devices, such as Nokia 7650, 3530, 6610, 6100 and Sony-Ericsson’s T68i and P800.

Even video clips can be traded via MMS between Nokia 7650s (those with installed Globe video software) and Nokia 7650s as well.

Globe’s exclusive multimedia service offers the widest variety of one-of-a-kind features that are a first in the Philippines. Services such as Java-based HandyGames and NetGames, Polytones and MMS Pictures, address different needs relevant to the evolving lifestyle of Globe subscribers.

Globe HandyGames has the widest choice of animated games, which utilize Java-based technology for clearer and more vivid graphics. With more than 60 challenging Java games, video game lovers can choose according to their mood and level of proficiency.

Advanced players who need to flex their skills as strategists and tacticians will certainly opt for complex games such as "Legend of Ninja," "Phantom Eagle," or "Evil Hunter." Those who wish to sharpen their martial arts and combat skills will go for "Street Brawl" or "Sword of Wind." "Phone Shot" will definitely appeal to those who like to sit back and relax while flexing their hand-eye coordinating skills.

For music-loving MMS subscribers who want to carry their favorite tunes everywhere they go, Globe offers Polytones. Globe currently has a wide array of Polytones with more than 300 polyphonic ringtones to choose from.

MMS subscribers can now look into more than 20 musical categories, such as Techno, Retro, Pop Rock, Disney and OPM polyphonic ringtones that suit their different musical tastes and preferences.

MMS subscribers who love to jazz up their LCD screens will surely have a ball with Globe Wallpaper. Globe has the widest selections of recognized icons such as Marvel superheroes, NBA Hoopsters, Looney Tunes, Disney, Smiley and anime characters.

Choose from a diverse collection of colored wallpapers inspired by Voltes V, Daimos, Flame of Recca, Fushigi Yugi, Ghostfighter, Lupin, Magic Knight Ravearth, Monster Rancher, Oh My Goddess, Trigun, Daredevil, Panther, Ironman, Punisher, Rogue, Thor, X-men and War Craft.

For those who prefer cartoon-inspired colored wallpapers, they can opt to download the ever cute and popular Looney Tunes characters, Disney and, of course, Smiley. Not to be forgotten are the colored wallpapers of NBA stars and World Wide Fund for Nature animal shots.

Birthday, graduation or wedding greetings can certainly be made more meaningful and fun when made by way of Globe Animated FUNTXT. Colored and animated pictures of Garfield liven up and animate what otherwise might be an ordinary text message.

Colored movie posters of films being shown at Ayala Cinemas can be downloaded when you access Sure Seats from your cellphone. These posters may be used as wallpapers or as an invitation sent to friends to come and watch a movie.

Lastly, Globe MMS has the country’s only colored phone icon. Subscribers now have the option to personalize their screen display with a colored wallpaper or colored phone icon or both.
