Cellular Phone Ring Tones

It used to be that when one’s cell phone started ringing in the mall, restaurant or in school, you would hear only a few types of ring tones. Well, now that has definitely changed. Cell phones have become more complex and capable of more memory making ring tones seem like commercials for MTV.

Recent cell phones on the market are able to play a variety of musical ring tones which sound close to mp3 quality. Many phones now allow you to download mp3’s directly into the phone’s memory and play a song as a ring tone. If you would love to hear your favorite tune instead of the boring old ring tone, then there are a few things to consider.

You can either download musical ring tones by your regular cellular phone service, other websites that deliver content to your phone and by software that you can purchase which downloads music that you already own or have created. Usually downloading from your phone service is the most expensive option. There are a host of ring tone website’s that also offer downloads they usually charge considerably less and have a bigger variety of songs in their catalogues. But for people that already own a huge mp3 collection or would like to create their own tunes, then Ring Tone Software is a great option. These computer programs are usually easy to use and inexpensive considering what some services charge for one ring tone. Many people with ring tone software have a new ring tone daily for pennies a day. So if you’re bored with your phone, try a new tone.
