Santa Spreading Cheer Through Mobile Phones
PhoneBites, Inc., a technology company, has created the Christmas RAZZ, a mobile phone application that enables people to add the sounds of Christmas into their phone conversations.
Traditional classics like "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" as well as the rest of the Christmas favorites, can be played right into the conversation, simply by pressing a number on the phone's keypad.
Consumers are able to choose from a library of accessible holiday sounds, which they can share with their loved ones on the other end of the line, or leave them an unexpected and cheerful message on their voicemail.
Reports of elves leaving festive holiday greetings on outgoing voicemail messages suggest that Holiday RAZZing is getting a little out of hand.
