Beijing Mobile Relaunches Ringback Advertising
CCTIME, 12/05/08
On November 29, Beijing Mobile re-launched its "Zhao Cai Ling" ringback advertising service, which refunds users phone credit for configuring advertising as their color ringback tone. Each time the user receives a call, they will be awarded credit of RMB 0.03, up to a maximum of RMB 10 per month. Beijing Mobile users will be able to install and configure the service by visiting Beijing Mobile's website or by dialing 12530, at a cost of RMB 0.5 per ringback tone.
A spokesperson for Beijing Mobile said the service was first tested on July 1, and then taken offline temporarily on July 11 for system upgrades and maintenance. The November 29 re-launch marks the resumption of commercial testing.
