Leading Carrier to Offer Award-Winning Mobile Social-Networking Service
LOS ANGELES--JuiceCaster, the multi-award winning mobile social-networking service, is set to launch on T-Mobile USA. T-Mobile is the largest US operator thus far to offer the powerful multimedia social-communications utility. The wireless carrier will make JuiceCaster version 6.0 available on 12 of its top handsets. T-Mobile joins Alltel, US Cellular and Cricket Wireless as the US operators who provide JuiceCaster to their mobile subscribers.
JuiceCaster instantly connects users to their online lives. It enables easy, one-touch sharing of pictures and videos directly from a camera phone to more than 20 top online social-networking and blogging sites, including MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, the latest version of JuiceCaster, 6.0, now includes the ability for users to post and watch real-time video status updates on their mobile devices.
“People network online, but live on their phones now more than ever,” said Nick Desai, CEO of Juice Wireless, Inc. “By enabling users to easily capture and post desired content to their online profiles and update their status with real-time videos, we provide unprecedented capabilities in the social communications arena. We are thrilled to launch JuiceCaster on T-Mobile, a leading innovative wireless operator. Now, even more people can get JuiceCaster directly on their phones and start living a connected life.”
JuiceCaster 6.0 will be offered at $2.99 per month for unlimited use on T-Mobile handsets by early May. Members connect and communicate in a rich social-networking environment that includes profiles, pictures, videos, friend lists, comments, ratings and personal status updates, all on the mobile phone. JuiceCaster was recently nominated for the 2008 Webby Awards, the “Oscars of the Internet,” in the Mobile Social Networking category.
