However, Verizon won't stop there at least when it comes to collaborating with FOX Interactive Media. Together, the two companies are preparing to roll out FOX's leading web brands to Verizon customers in the coming months to make FOX content more easily accessible to mobile phone users… Full “MySpace Mobile on Verizon” release follows after the jump. PRESS RELEASE - MySpace, the world's most popular social network, and Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading wireless service provider, this day announced Verizon Wireless customers can now access MySpace Mobile on all Mobile Web 2.0-enabled phones. Mobile Web 2.0 subscribers can now click directly into the MySpace Mobile Web site from the Connect category on the Mobile Web 2.0 home screen, eliminating the need for customers to type in a URL in order to access the site. With MySpace on Mobile Web 2.0, Verizon Wireless customers now have the ability to edit MySpace profiles, view and add friends, post comments and blogs, send and receive MySpace messages — all from their mobile phones. “Millions of MySpace users have Verizon Wireless phones, and starting today we're giving them fast and simple access to our mobile site, at no additional charge,” said Brandon Lucas, senior director of mobile business development for MySpace. “Today's announcement brings us a step closer to fulfilling our vision that every user has access to MySpace, anytime, anywhere.” Ryan Hughes, vice president of digital media programming for Verizon, stated, “Our relationship with MySpace helps us connect our customers to their friends — with MySpace available on our Mobile Web 2.0 service, our customers can take MySpace with them wherever they go.” To access MySpace Mobile, Verizon Wireless customers simply open Mobile Web 2.0 on their phones, click on the Connect category from the home screen, and click on MySpace. On the MySpace site, customers can access a host of features, including:
Mobile Web 2.0 can be self-provisioned, eliminating the need for customers to call customer service or visit a Verizon Wireless Communications Store to sign up for the service. Customers simply register for Mobile Web 2.0 on their Mobile Web 2.0-capable handsets by visiting the News and Info category under the Get It Now menu on their phones. The availability of MySpace on Verizon Wireless' Mobile Web 2.0 service is part of a larger agreement in which Verizon Wireless will distribute mobile versions of FOX Interactive Media's leading Web brands. Unlimited MySpace Mobile use is included at no additional charge with a Mobile Web 2.0 subscription. Unlimited Mobile Web 2.0 usage is included with a $15 monthly V CAST VPak subscription, which also includes access to V CAST Video, V CAST Music and Get It Now applications. Alternatively, customers can access Mobile Web for free with a Nationwide Plan but will incur usage charges of $1.99 per megabyte. As an example, 50 Mobile Web 2.0 pages equal approximately 0.6 megabytes. Customers should view their customer agreements or see a Verizon Wireless customer service representative for additional details as legacy plans might vary. —

Here's the full text ad.
You can find the ad — and apply if you have the skills required — from here. [Via: Engadget Mobile] —
