Offers Tips on How to Use Wireless Devices to Find the Perfect
Gift, Reduce Stress and Send Holiday Cheer ATLANTA, Dec. 7
/PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, whether traveling over the
hills and through the woods to Grandma's house, or just to the
mall, wireless customers across the country -- all 227 million of
them -- are moving beyond simple voice calls and text messages to
discover powerful new applications on their wireless devices.
Wireless interactive tools now offer everything from driving
directions to restaurant recommendations while more entertaining
features deliver mobile videos and games. Cingular offers these ten
tips for shoppers and travelers this holiday season to take
advantage of all their handset has to offer: 1. Get to the party on
time. Download driving directions to holiday parties and events
directly to your phone with Mapquest Mobile or Cingular Navigator,
which also gives you audio and visual instructions. 2. You've got
the right directions, but there's a traffic jam. Rand McNally
Traffic serves 94 metro areas with up-to-the-minute information on
traffic jams and alternate routes. 3. Who knows which bottle of
wine to take to a holiday party? Wine Spectator Mobile Companion
can help. This service has ratings, vintage charts and more to help
make the perfect selection. 4. Need recommendations for the perfect
restaurant to host a holiday party? Zagat to Go will recommend the
best locations based on your budget and location, along with
restaurant ratings. 5. Want to check the weather forecast before
you hit the road? My-Cast Mobile is like having a meteorologist in
your pocket! It provides current U. S. weather conditions including
real-time Doppler radar and satellite imagery centered on your
location of interest. View temps, winds, dew point and sky
conditions and more. 6. Watching your caloric intake? Use your
phone to look up tips and food databases from Atkins2Go. 7. Need to
keep your child busy while you finish your shopping? For young
children who need a distraction in traffic or in the mall,
BabySitter 2Go offers five captivating, interactive and animated
scenes for hours of fun and learning. 8. Need to de-stress? Let
your wireless phone help. AMA Stress Buster invites users to track
daily stress levels while offering advice on how to solve problems
and relax. 9. Not sure if a gift is the right choice? Most new
phones are equipped with cameras that make it a snap to instantly
send a photo of the item to a trusted advisor. 10. Send some cheer
to everyone who calls you with Answer Tones. Instead of a standard
ring, callers will hear the song you choose before you answer.
Choose from many holiday tones or try the shuffle feature so
callers will hear a different jolly song every time they call.
Cingular customers can explore these features by selecting MEdiaNet
on their handset or by visiting cingular.com/medianet. Beyond the
latest handset tools, Cingular also makes it easier to shop for and
travel with wireless service this holiday season: Buying your kids
a cell phone this holiday? For parents this holiday season,
Cingular takes the worry out of wireless. Parental Controls is a
free service from Cingular that allows parents to block handset
access to the wireless Internet or prevent purchases of games,
ringtones and graphics. Parents can easily set filters by calling
Customer Care (866-CINGULAR), through MEdia Net on their wireless
handset or via http://www.cingular.com/ . Worried about breaking
the bank? Consider prepaid service, like Cingular's GoPhone prepaid
service with no credit check, bills, no annual contracts, no
deposit and no surprises. Choose from convenient monthly automatic
payments with GoPhone Pick Your Plan or pay in advance for the
minutes you need with GoPhone Pay-as-you-Go. Wonder what the
coverage will be before you purchase service? Cingular takes the
guesswork out of traveling with a wireless handset or high-speed
data laptop card. Cingular's coverage viewer, available at
cingular.com/coverageviewer, gives street-level wireless signal
detail. This service allows users to search by landmarks or
addresses and shows coverage for Cingular's 3G network with the
fastest data transfer speeds. Traveling abroad this holiday?
