Jumbuck Entertainment has signed an agreement with Virgin Mobile USA, the leading wireless youth network, for Jumbuck to become the carrier's exclusive provider of WAP- and Java-based chat services.

For the past year, Jumbuck has been providing Virgin Mobile access to its chat community through a customized Java application known as 'Chat Park.' Under the new agreement, Jumbuck's Power Chat service is now accessible to Virgin Mobile's four million customers. Virgin Mobile has also launched Jumbuck's new "Text Chat" SMS chat service on Virgin Mobile (common short code: TXTCHT or 898 248).

Virgin Mobile USA Vice President of Mobile Data Services, Dominick Tolli, commented: "Enabling our customers to communicate instantly with such a large established global community was most beneficial for us. We've had great customer feedback on these services as well."

Over the coming months, and as part of the agreement, Jumbuck will also launch its popular Fast Flirting and Jumbuck Island communities on Virgin Mobile USA.
