Rapper’s ringtone enjoys 500,000 sales

BELLEVUE, Wash.-Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Pick up the Phone” ringtone has sold more than half a million copies, according to Versaly Entertainment, which produced the ringtone.

“This is way beyond what I expected, both for sales numbers and for me having a blast creating the music,” said Sir Mix-A-Lot. “As I talk with other musicians, they agree with me that ringtones are a perfect way to test new music ideas.”

The MixTone mobile products are offered via Jamster commercials as well as through most major U.S. and Canadian carriers, several international carriers and Versaly’s ForFones mobile storefront, said the company.
