Ring tones are different between landlines and cell phones. The standard ring tone for a landline is a familiar sound, brrrrrrring. You've heard it in the movies and if your grandparents are keepers of the comfortable landline, they hear it every time you call them.
Cell phone ring tones are one of the most common way to personalize one's cell phone. A lot of cell phones on the market already have several different ringtones loaded out of the box. There are quite a few people who never get around to changing this ring tone and just stick with the default.
There's no reason to stick with that one boring old ringtone though. There are a few different types of ringtone you can choose from. There are the very basic, one note at a time monophonic ringtones, polyphonic ringtones, which play several notes at once for a richer sound and the more popular true tone ringtones. These ringtones are clips of audio files (either MP3 or WMA format) of about 15 seconds in length. One great way to customize your cell phone is by assigning a different ring tone to each caller.
You see ringtone promotions everywhere these days; offers of a free ring tone in exchange for signing on to an email list or other conditions. However, you can get these ringtones for a mere 99 cents, which if you ask me is a better deal than signing up to get a deluge of email. If your phone has a recording function, you can even make your own ringtones by recording a sound, even the voice of the caller you want to assign the ringtone to.
You carry your cell phone with you everywhere - why not customize it to make it more personal? There is certainly no shortage of ringtones out there -you can easily find one for every person on your contacts list. Pretty much any song you can think of is available as a true ring tone.
Personally, I have five ringtones on my cell phone and I use one for my wife, another for my tech-savvy eight year old son and yet another for a college friend of mine. When you know who's calling, you never have to deal with callers who called the wrong number or a salesperson.
It's fun to pick out ring tones for the different people on your SIM card. People always talk about how technology has made the world a more impersonal place - well, cell phones are one aspect of our tech-obsessed culture where creativity and personality are alive and well!
You can buy ringtones on the web or make your own. Some of the websites which offer ringtones for purchase are subscription based -be sure to check out what they have to offer before signing up. You don't want to be stuck with a choice of ringtones which you do not like or want. - 16752
