Yahoo Available On Cingular Phones

AT&T, Cingular Wireless and Yahoo! have announced the availability of AT&T Yahoo! Go Mobile, an integrated service that gives consumers real-time access to their AT&T Yahoo! Internet customized online content, services and community via a wireless phone. AT&T is now offering the AT&T Yahoo! Go Mobile service on the Nokia 6682 handset from Cingular within the AT&T traditional 13-state service area. The service will also be available in certain Cingular stores in the Austin, Columbus and Los Angeles markets.

The AT&T Yahoo! Go Mobile service is the first time that AT&T Yahoo! Internet subscribers will be able to seamlessly access, in a single mobile application, a comprehensive set of their personalized AT&T Yahoo! services, including Mail, Photos, Address Book, Calendar, Messenger and Web, Image and Local search, as well as customized news, weather and sports.

The AT&T Yahoo! communications services are also connected to the built-in e-mail, messaging, address book and calendar applications on the mobile phone, giving consumers one reliable source for the information they find most vital. For example, if a user loses his mobile device, his saved contact information will still be available to him on the Web and easily synched with a new mobile device.

"We're helping our customers enjoy the digital lifestyle by giving them virtually anywhere, anytime access to their already personalized and customized Web-based communications and entertainment services," said Scott Helbing, chief marketing officer, AT&T Consumer. "We're blurring the lines between the PC and the wireless phone so that consumers can stay in touch, check e-mail, get updates on news and weather -- minute to minute, day by day -- regardless of where they are or what screen they are watching."
