- Review: Blast for T-Mobile


Sunday, June 03, 2007
Anita Seelig who is the CEO of Ring Plus, Inc, is suing at&t claiming their answer tone feature violates a patent they own. Answer Tones allows users to change the ringing sound a caller hears to a musical tone. Anita Seelig claims her company invented and patented that technology however even if they did invent this, they just improved on an existing technology.
Why is Cingular being sued here though? T-Mobile came out ith answer tones first, and hell Nextel for years has replaced the ring with “Please hold while we search for the Nextel subscriber you are looking for”. If anyone should sue anyone it should be Sprint since Nextel really was the first to use such technology.
I think Anita Seeligs company isn’t making a profit and is desperate to promote it so shes suing the biggest wireless provider she can, in hopes of settling and to promote her beauty salon on Rodeo Drive since the press release about the suit talked more about that then the law suit.
