The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is to benefit from ‘calls
of the wild’, new animal ringtones from Orange.
While other people’s mobile phone
tones can often drive us wild, WSPA and Orange hope that their new ‘calls of the
wild’ will make a difference for animal welfare.

Available exclusively for a limited time only on Orange World and www.orange.co.
uk from 24 November 2003, the ringtones will bring the sounds of nature to you wherever
you are.

 

 

Richard Brooks, Head of UK Fundraising at WSPA said: “The support of Orange and 
its customers who use these amazing ‘calls of the wild’ will make a real contribution
towards WSPA’s work with animals around the world.”

 

 

Orange has ensured that all songwriters’ royalties will go to help animals through
the work of WSPA to raise the standards of animal welfare throughout the world, 
with WSPA receiving a donation each time a ringtone is downloaded onto a mobile 
phone.

 

 

Recorded in the wild and produced as a selection of digital sounds, Animal Ringtones
is the creation of musicians Thomas Dolby Robertson, president of

 

Retro Ringtones LLC, and his Production partner Kevin Wooding. From the chirp of
the grey tree frog to the roar of the Siberian tiger, there are over 40 Orange Animal
Ringtones to choose from.

 

 

Vivienne Adshead, Head of Commercial Content Delivery, Orange UK, said: “Many of
us are guilty of cringing at other people’s ringtones. Orange believes that mobile
ringtones should be fun and we think the ‘natural’ sounds of Animal Ringtones provide
people with their own piece of the wild, no matter where they are.”
