Deliver A Song

Cell phones are connecting the world blah blah… We all know that, don’t we? But compared to its older sister, the landline phones and other older forms of communication, the cell phone has brought in a lot of benefits, which have largely gone unnoticed. Let’s give an ode to our lovely teeny-weeny phones and acknowledge some of the best traits of cell phone technology in our lives.

Escape from a boring conversation – Got stuck in a boring party and mindless conversation discussing global warming and new farming techniques. Grab your cell phone, play your ringtone, pretend to have gotten an important call, mutter “Excuse me, gotta go” and lo you are free.

Goodbye creditors – Is it a call from a friend who wants to borrow some money from you, or your credit card issuer asking you when you can pay back the dues? “Hello….Hello….i cannot hear you….the signal is poor here”….plunk. Press ‘End call’. Thank God cell phones suffer from poor signal at times, unlike landline phones.

Flaunt your cell phone – This is obviously something that you could not have done with your landline phones even if you wanted to. Make sure you download ringtones for your iPhone or blackberry. When surrounded by inquisitive colleagues or a in a party that you are trying to impress, ask your friend to give you a call. Flash your new gizmo in style. After all cell phones are the only things that men compare about who has got the smallest one.

Spy on your guy – Think your partner is seeing someone else? Many service providers offer cell phones family plans specifically for partners. Get one for you both and find out to whom your partner is making and receiving calls.

Exchange text messages in class – Planning a weekend pajama party or deciding on a baseball team in school. What are the boring Math and Physics lectures for, if not for exchanging text messages with friends in class rooms on important issues as these? There are special cell phone plans for students and others who text a lot more than making calls. You can also download games for mobile from the internet. And to avoid getting caught, use the mosquito buzz or teen buzz that your teacher can never hear.

Lose phone numbers that you want to lose – Want to avoid an irritating old classmate or a pesky neighbor. Just stop taking their calls. In case you bump into them in parking lots and neighborhood stores and they complain of you not taking their calls, have a ready response, “Oh dear, my cell phone plans have changed and I have moved to a new plan. I lost all my old contacts. How are you doing these days?”

Let me end this with a disclaimer. If there is a disgruntled reader, then for your information, “the author of this post is temporarily not available. Please try again later”.

Chalk it up to three main reasons:

1. Image. To everyone in earshot, your ringtone broadcasts a little bit about who you are . . . or who you\’d like them to think you are.

2. Instant identification. If you have ever been in a meeting or with a group of friends and had to play the \”Whose Cell Phone Is It?\” scramble, you can appreciate the advantage of playing \”Name That Tune\” instead.

3. Caller ID. If your cell phone has multiple memory slots, you can immediately know which of your friends, co-workers, or family members is after you by programming specific tones to denote each caller.

The mobile market has been booming these past few years. All over the world, millions of people have embraced the mobile world into their life. The cell phone and their various ringtones have become status symbols. Ringtones show that you\’re up to date and happening. You can even take a test that defines which ringtone best suits your personality. You can truly display your lifestyle and certainly your musical taste on your sleeve.

A quick Google search will produce countless articles trying to understand the popularity of \’ringtones\’; hundreds of bloggers waxing lyrical on the benefits of personalizing their cell phones. The figures are pretty serious too, in the U.S.A. alone, the Yankee Group predicts, ringtones will be worth $500 million. That\’s roughly the GDP of Fiji.

Obviously our cell phones need a voice, but does that voice need to be a polyphonic adaptation of \’Living on a Prayer\’?

Ringtones are melodic sounds a cellular or cell phone makes when an incoming call or message arrives. Since cellular phones are significantly more sophisticated than landline phones, ringtones can be personalized to suit the owner\’s personal taste. A variety of ringtones have appealed to consumers, increasing handsets sale ability.

Types of Ringtones

There are typically three different types of ringtones: monophonic ringtones, polyphonic ringtones and realtones.

Monophonic Ringtones

Monophonic tones are simple tunes, most commonly compatible with today\’s cell phones. The majority of cell phones can only make a single tone at a time. The monophonic ringtone tune is comprised of a series of sequential tones at different frequencies.

Polyphonic Ringtones

Polyphonic tones are played on cellular phones that have the capability of playing up to 64 separate tones at once. The combination of tones creates a harmonic melody. Polyphonic ringtones are more musical than a monophonic ringtone. Newer phones support polyphonic ringtones. It is likely that future cell phones will be capable of producing musical ringtones of CD quality.

Realtones

Real Music ringtones or MP3 Ringtones, are ringtones that came from \”real\” or actual songs. They use original pieces of music along with lyrics, exactly as the original recording. The format is usually MP3, WAV, WMA, etc. This feature and support for real music ringtones is being built into most new models of almost all mobile phone manufacturers. Real Music Ringtones are also called true tones, real tones, voice tones, full music or MP3 ringtones.
