The card is a scratch card that users have to get a 16 digit code from. Users can choose the format they want their ringtones in (Monophonic Polyphonic or Truetone) and send a download message to 8558. The cards will hold six songs out of which users can download a maximum of three songs.

Our Mobitune Cards has greater choice in content, provides complete choice on formats and have sharability. We are trying to emphasize on the fact that your ring tone talks about your personality and we are providing diverse set of users the vast availability in the industry.”
