First Launch With a Major European Carrier

NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vringo, Inc. (NYSE
Amex:VRNG), a provider of video ringtones and next generation
personalisation solutions for mobile devices, today announced that it
has commercially launched its video ringtone platform service with
Orange UK, one of the UK's largest mobile communications companies.
This launch follows Vringo's previously-announced carrier partnership
with Everything Everywhere Limited, which operates the Orange brand.

"This launch is an important milestone for Vringo," said Jon Medved,
Vringo's Chief Executive Officer. "The UK is one of the most robust and
advanced telecommunications markets in the world, and we believe a
successful commercial launch with Orange will drive our growth. This is
a dynamic time for Vringo as we have reported strong subscriber numbers
in our test market in Malaysia and are moving forward with launches in
the U.S. and Singapore. In addition to the launch with Orange, we
anticipate announcing additional distribution channels and new content
to enhance and support our commercial launch in the UK."

The Vringo video ringtone service, which will be provided to Orange UK
customers, consists of a Web, WAP and mobile app experience that
enables customers to create, download and share high-quality video
ringtones. Orange UK customers will have access to all of the Vringo
platform's service capabilities including Vringo's extensive content
library of over 5,000 video ringtone clips.

Vringo's fully-hosted carrier platform is currently deployed for
international partners in six markets with new launches anticipated in
the next quarter. Vringo's scalable cloud-based distributed application
architecture enables the carrier's subscribers to browse and download
mobile videos, set them as video ringtones and instantly share them
with friends. In addition to carrier partners, Vringo has content
partnerships with major content providers including EMI, T-Pain,
Tiesto, Muhammad Ali, Turner, Marvel, Discovery Mobile, RTL, Ingrooves
and Agence France-Presse.
