Ringtones
are the sounds your phone makes when there is an incoming call or message.
The shorter sound used to signal an SMS text, email or voice mail message
is sometimes called an alert tone. Today, mobile phones can be set-up
to make just about any noise you want to signal a call. And, different
sounds can be used to signal different callers. Which begs the question;
Why all the hype about changing your cell phone's ringtone? We are all
familiar with the everyday sound of a ringing landline phone, and that
hasn't changed too much over the years, yet we still know when someone
is calling. Mobile

Why are there now so many options for the ring on your mobile phone?
Because its possible. Today's wireless phones are actually very sophisitacted
computers with lots of processing power and memory. It is a small effort
to add a few ringing options. And, if that makes the phones more appealing
to buyers, manufactures will add it.
They're fun. Yes, the regular ringtone does its job, but it is a little
boring. Many people are just get a kick out of hearing the little tune
they picked out for their phone.
Identification. How many times have you seen everybody in the vicinty
of a ringing cell phone reach for their own phone? If you have a distictive
ringtone, you know when it is YOUR cellphone and not somebody else's.
Wireless phone ringtones primarily come in two different types; monophonic
ringtones and polyphonic ringtones.

Monophonic
Ringtones
Presently these are the tones played by the majority of cellular phones.
Monophnonic tones sound like the beeping of a computer. The tunes are
simple because the phone can only produce one sound (beep) at a time.
The tune of the ringtone is made up of a series of sequential beeps
at different frequencies.
Polyphonic
Ringtones
Phones that play polyphonic ringtones have the ability to produce 16
separate sounds at once. This makes for music that is much richer and
the tunes sound more like the music you know. If you are used to monophonic
ringtones, the first time you hear a polyphonic tone on someone's phone,
your reaction is; What polyphonic ringtone is that! The difference between
the two types is significant. With further advances, ringtones will
soon sound like CD quality music.

A polyphonic
ringtone doesn't necessarily have to be music at all, they can be any
kind of sound, including voices. Often, to be able to add polyphonic
ringtones to your phone, you need an internet capable phone and a plan
with your wireless carrier that allows internet access.

So,
you want to have a nifty new ringing for your wireless phone? First,
check your phone. Not all wireless phones in use today have the ability
to play ringtones. Nokias have had ringtones for several years. Most
of the newer phones from manufactures such as Motorola, Samsung, Siemens,
Sony-Ericsson, LG, Sanyo, Panasonic, Audiovox and Kyocera now have ringtone
capabilities. You also might already have a few different tunes pre-loaded
in the phone. See your owner's manual on how to find and select your
cellphone's ringtone. If you are ready to find something new, you will
need to download some ringtones, or in the case of monophonic tones,
have it sent to you phone in the form of a text message. The most prevelant
way of getting ringtones into your cellular phone is over the wireless
system.
