Abstract: An application program stored on a mobile telephone is provided. The mobile telephone has a controller and the application program is configured to be executed by the controller. Upon execution of the application program, the controller displays an activation area on a display screen of the mobile telephone. The activation area has at least a first portion and a second portion distinct from the first portion. Upon selection of the first portion of the activation area, the controller accesses one or more prerecorded sounds stored in a memory of the mobile telephone or stored remotely. The controller then displays a listing of identification values associated with the one or more stored prerecorded sounds, retrieves at least one sound upon selection thereof by a user, and transmits the at least one selected sound.
