NEW YORK, Sep 28, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --

Vringo, Inc. (NYSE Amex:VRNG), a provider of video ringtones and personalization solutions for mobile devices, today announced a new carrier partnership with StarHub, one of Singapore's most innovative infocommunications providers and fastest growing mobile operators. Through this new partnership, Vringo's video ringtone service will be co-branded by StarHub and made available to its over two million customers. The service features Vringo's patented mobile app experience along with a full platform offering web and WAP interfaces that enable customers to receive the best video ringtones available -- and share them with friends.

In addition to carrier partners, Vringo has content partnerships with major artists, celebrities and content providers including T-Pain, Muhammad Ali, Tiesto, Turner, Marvel, Hungama Mobile, RTL and Ingrooves.
