How To Find The Best Ringtones
Ringtones originally were a take-what-you-get feature associated with the
purchase of a new cell phone. Currently, phones come with an assortment of
built-in ring tones, with capabilities to store countless more.
Cell phones have become an extension of our individual persona, and as such are
a billboard of self expression. Just as someone might decorate their home for
individual national holidays, so will they upload ringtones appropriate for
certain times of the year. Accordingly, cell phone providers offer music fitting
for a particular holiday on their websites.
With popular services such as the iTunes online store, any Top 40 pop song can
become a personal ringtone for $1.98. In addition, when a song is downloaded
from iTunes to be used as a ringtone, it can be also be stored on a PC as an
mp3, eliminating the need to pay for the song twice.
Cell phone providers also occasionally offer ringtones based on the demographic
of the cell phone network area. A cell phone company in the southern U.S. such
as Southernlinc might offer songs popular for that region. One such song,
(featured by Southernlinc) is ‘A Country Boy Can Survive’ by Hank Williams. With
Southernlinc songs are $1.49/per download unless on sale. Most songs downloaded
for use as a ringtone typically cost $.99/per song and up. Sprint PCS has a wide
ranging variety of songs organized in a vast catalog, and are available to
purchase for $2.50/per song.
Another useful feature offered by several websites are programs with the ability
to assist you in composing an original score for your phone. In addition, with
the current integration of technology between prime time T.V. shows and
corporate television websites online gives cell phone users the ability to
download the theme song from a particularly well loved show.
Many cell phone ringtones are available to download for free from various
commercial and independently owned websites. Every cell phone provider offers a
link to download ringtones on the providers’ website. Some cell phone companies
contract with specific artists to feature current albums or popular newly
released songs. For example, Verizon Wireless currently features artists such as
PHISH, Led Zeppelin, and Belinda Carlisle.
T Mobile has several options to purchase for use as a ringtones listed in four
categories: MegaTones, HiFi Ringers, CallerTunes, and Voices & Sounds. MegaTones
offer variations of current favorite songs arranged with instruments while HiFi
Ringers feature snippets of songs by popular artists. CallerTunes and Voices &
Sounds offer options offering songs “of your choice”, or “sound effects,
celebrity voices, and more.”
AT&T hosts a Media Mall on its website offering a plethora of musical ringtone
options, featuring mostly popular Top 40 songs under the Music Tones option.
Under the voice tones option one can choose “voice tones” with celebrities such
as Erik Estrada telling you to pick up the phone. “Holiday Fun” is another tab
under the Music Tones tab, offering Independence Day and Christmas songs. Under
“Celebrity Ringers”, choosing a clip is merely a decision between which South
Park and Larry the Cable Guy episode has your favorite sound clip. There are
also several unique sound effects to choose from, such as a door creaking open
and a crowd cheering. Each musical song chosen for purchase as a ringtone
through AT&T costs $2.49/per song, while voice tones, sound effects, and
polyphonic sounds cost $1.99/each.
Cricket offers a service called “Ringback Tones”, which offers a catalog
brimming with options. Music can be bought for a ringtone at an average price of
$1.99/per song, with an expiration date of six months, which is a stand alone
feature of Cricket. The catalog options with Cricket however, are more varied
than competing cell phone companies; the catalog boasts 14 categories alone from
which to choose your ringtone. Among the 14 are: “What’s Hot”, “Top 10”,
“Urban”, “Country”, “Comedy”. “Movies/TV”, and “Sports”.
The options for cell phone ringtones are endless. Songs can easily be purchased
through the individual cell phone retailer or on any number of websites on the
Internet. Your ringtone can represent your personality playing your favorite hit
song every time the phone “rings”, or your favorite the time of year through
seasonal song. Whichever you choose, your options are as multi-faceted as you.
