December 13, 2005 – Qpass, a leading mobile commerce software and solutions company, today announced an expanded two year licensing agreement with SunCom Wireless, a wireless carrier that serves millions of people in the Southeastern United States, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. SunCom and Qpass have expanded their agreement to add Qpass’ Content Delivery Platform and Content Management Services to Suncom’s Downloadables service. Qpass technology and services enable SunCom subscribers to manage and personalise premium content transactions and download ringtones, games, graphics and other digital media to their mobile phones.

“We are excited to expand our-long standing partnership with Qpass to include their content delivery and merchandising capabilities,” said Tony Perlak, executive director of Pricing and Products for SunCom Wireless. “Qpass provides a complete end-to-end infrastructure that helps us manage the entire commerce process for the SunCom Downloadables service, which we’re confident our subscribers will enjoy.”
With the SunCom Downloadables service, SunCom Wireless subscribers can now personalise their phones with premium content from the industry’s leading content providers. Top selling items include ringtones from artists like Kanye West and Green Day, games such as Prince of Persia, and Wallpaper from Sports Illustrated. All are sold directly on their Downloadables-compatible handset or from the secure SunCom Wireless website at www.suncom.com.
“We’ve had a great partnership with Suncom to date and are excited that we’re expanding this relationship with our additional software modules to provide a complete end-to-end solution,” said Chase Franklin, CEO of Qpass. “We’re proud to be working alongside a respected partner like SunCom to ensure that each of their subscribers has access to the most innovate and exciting content with the SunCom Downloadable service.”
