Verizon Wireless Announces Daily Scoop - Sports scores, Weather, Trivia & More
April 2, 2009 5:27 PM | Verizon | Comments (1)
| From CTIA WIRELESS 2009, Verizon Wireless today announced the availability of Daily Scoop, which offers Verizon Wireless customers customized sports scores, weather, trivia, local gas prices and more, along with offers and discounts from local and national retailers. Daily Scoop is a free application that customers can download from the Shopping n Style and Download This! categories under the Browse & Download section on Get It Now-capable phones. Customers may choose to enter their age, gender and zip code, and Daily Scoop will deliver relevant information and offers from retailers located in customers’ geographic areas. Much of the information is delivered as a graphically rich banner when the handset is not in use. For example, local weather reports can arrive at 8 a.m., and offers from restaurants may arrive later in the day when customers may be making decisions about what to do for dinner. |  |
Verizon is working with Virginia-based Mobile Posse, a leading provider of idle screen delivery solutions for mobile content and advertising, on Daily Scoop. The application is available on more than 25 feature-packed phones, including the MOTO™ W755, enV2™ by LG and Verizon Wireless Juke by Samsung.
Use of Daily Scoop is free; if a customer does not have an unlimited data plan, the first-time download of the application will incur either airtime charges or megabyte charges of $1.99 per megabyte, depending on their customer agreement.
