Ringtone Reviews and Buying Guide:Cell phone ringtones have become the latest craze amongst mobile phone users. Anywhere you walk or go these days you hear a dozen or more cellular phones ringing, usually with various ringtones. Many cell phones come with pre-installed ringtones that let you choose between a dozen or so generic sounding ringtones. Unfortunately, everyone else is using the same ringtones on their phones and you can immediately see the problem for wanting (and needing) your own personal ringtone. The great thing is that ringtone are not that expensive anymore and there are 100's of songs from you can sample ringtones from top recording artists like Justin Timberlake, Usher, Britney Spears, Nickelback, 50 Cent, and Kanye West. You can also get themes to movies like Mission Impossible or the Pink Panther. Pretty much whatever music you want to have come up when someone calls your cell phone, you can get it. There are even new services and software available where you can make your own ringtones right on your computer and trasnfer them to your cellphone eliminating the need for a middle man and making them even cheaper to get.
Most Popular Ringtones:Now that ringtones are a part of mainstream music and society, Billboard and Nielsen have begun to track their sales much like they do with album sales and songs on the radio. Many of the recording industry companies have released more and more of their artists songs onto ringtones as the potential for revenue as escalated in the past few years and they too want a piece of the action. When Napster and other music sharing services almost ruined the music industry, it's because they were slow to adopt new digital music downloads and it's good to see them accepting ringtone downloads as a way of the future and embracing it. Some of the top musicians with ringtones are listed below (not in any particular order).
Buying a RingtoneMany people are still confused as to "How do you get a new ringtone on your phone?". Do you buy them online? Is there a way to order them from your cellphone? Purchasing a ringtone is not that hard, but you do have to be a little saavy with how your menu choices work on the actual cellphone. Whether you order via your cellular phone or through an online service, the ringtone will be delivered to your phone wirelessly and appear as a text message with the attachment in most cases. The cost to get a ringtone varies from service to service but averages about $1 for a ringtone. Many services charge a monthly fee no matter what you download and it only gets cancelled when you contact them. Be sure you know what the terms of the deal are as we have heard of some people getting billed monthly for a service they never or rarely use. If you want Cingular ringtones or Verizon ringtones we suggest going straight to their websites for the best and most reliable downloadable ringtones. You can find their sites at Cingular.com and Verizonwireless.com.
