"This time of year is traditionally one of the most popular for music and entertainment downloads," said Mark Collins, vice president of Consumer Data for AT&T's wireless unit. "AT&T is excited to offer free and festive holiday favorites for customers to enjoy throughout the season."
To obtain the free offer, customers must simply send a text message with the word GIFT to the number 7230. They will receive a text message with a link to download their free tone or game. Normal data usage charges apply during download, based on the customer's data plan.
Anyone with an AT&T wireless phone can use a Tone E-Card, which make great last-minute gifts. The Tone E-Cards, valued at $9.99 or $19.99, can be ordered online at www.att.com/tonecard.
