BET is known for mobile innovation. BET Networks was the first major US cable network to integrate mobile commerce into daily television programming; and launched an IVR service for the purchase of artists ringtone through its BET (238) offering (available on Sprint and Cingular), which allows users to dial into the service, listen and purchase ringtones. During the fourth quarter of 2006, BET Mobile launched a mobile subscription service with experimental pricing at $3.99 per month, which has lead to double digit monthly subscriber growth and below industry churn levels. Also, in 2006, BET Mobile was awarded a "Campaigns of Distinction Award" by Television Week for outstanding on-air mobile campaigns.
