Apartment Guide has announced an agreement with Mobile Accord to provide apartment listing content through participating wireless carriers.

Subscribers to this service will be able to find apartments for rent by using mobile phones equipped with global positioning system (GPS) technology.

"Apartment Guide makes finding apartments easier through mobile GPS," said Arlene Mayfield, president of Apartment Guide.

"Powered by Qualcomm's BREW Platform, the application also enables mobile phone subscribers to search for apartments anywhere in the United States, access prices, photos and property features and contact the leasing office directly."

"According to ABI Research, North American subscriptions to 'personal locator services' using GPS-enabled mobile phones will grow to more than 20 million by 2011," said James Eberhard, chairman, Mobile Accord.

"By enabling consumers to find apartments through GPS on their cell phones, Apartment Guide addresses a growing technological demand and meets the needs of renters 'on the go.'"

Properties that advertise with Apartment Guide and ApartmentGuide.com will have their listings uploaded for access by mobile subscribers.
