Alltel Wireless announced that customers with video-capable phones now have exclusive access to Alltel Social Video, a new application that allows customers to share and rate videos from a wide range of online outlets. To deliver the application, Alltel Wireless has teamed with Transpera, a provider of mobile video services.

Customers can subscribe to the service for $2.99 per month and access videos from sources such as Break.com, an online entertainment channel for men; independent entertainment brand AtomFilms; and GrindTV.com, an online destination for action-oriented videos and content. After viewing the videos, customers have the option to rate the video or share the content via the “Send-to-Friend” feature. In addition, customers can search for videos across channels, create custom playlists and manage distribution lists.

“As the mobile phone continues to evolve into a portable entertainment device, Alltel Wireless is constantly seeking ways to engage customers through their phones, as more and more are taking advantage of the video capabilities offered on their handsets,” said Craig Kirkland, director of messaging and voice services for Alltel Wireless, in a statement. “Alltel Social Video allows our customers to interact with video and lets them become part of an online video community.”
