Founded in 2006, Vringo is bringing about the evolution of ringtones. With its award-winning video ringtone application, Vringo takes a sledgehammer to the traditional call signature, transforming the basic act of making and receiving mobile phone calls into a highly visual, social experience.
By installing Vringo’s application, which is compatible with more than 200 handsets, users can create or take video, images and slideshows from virtually anywhere, including Vringo’s library of 5,000-and-counting video ringtone clips or the Web, and make it into their personal call signature. In a first for the mobile industry, Vringo has introduced VringForward™, a technology that lets its users select which video ringtone their friends will see when they call.
How Does It Work?
- Users register either online or through their mobile device.

- Users seamlessly invite buddies from their phones’ contact lists.
- Users select or create Vringos on their mobile phones or online.
