MySpace and Verizon Wireless today 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 easy 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, said, “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:

– Message Management - send, read and reply to messages from all of their MySpace friends, as well as field friend requests from their mobile devices.

– Viewing Photo Albums - easily look at MySpace photo albums by choosing “My Photos” on MySpace Mobile.

– Viewing Friends - look up profiles of their friends and others through their MySpace profile. Just as on standard MySpace, MySpace Mobile lets Verizon Wireless customers see profile pictures and other member information via their mobile devices.

– Friend Search - search for people by name or e-mail address, as well as send friend invites and review invites that are pending.

– Comments / Blog Posting - post comments and update blogs just as they would from a PC.  Any new information entered will be posted to a member’s mobile and online MySpace profile simultaneously.

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(R) menu on their phones.
