Brighten Up A Dull Day With A Fun Ringtone

May 18th, 2012 No comments

If there is one thing that the world has far too much of, it would be the curse of the mundane. That is, far too much that exists in the world is fairly dull, bland and on the wrong side of the play it safe debate. Part of the reason for this is while standing out in a crowd is something people seemingly enjoy, the reality is that there are a number of conventions afoot in the world that press people to take the safe root and not try to stand out in the crowd too much.

Oh well, more is the pity, as going through life without ever making much of a mark in the world is similar to living in a comatose state. Now, the people who came up with the idea of flashy and snazzy ringtones were definitely not the folks who seemed to revel in playing it safe or maintaining a dull composure!

Although ringtones have become wildly popular in recent years, there are still a few misconceptions floating about as to the value of having music installed on a person’s phone. Those misconceptions assume that people select their music on a random basis or that a certain phone comes with certain ringtone.

In other words, the misconception centers around the fact that people believe the person who owns the cellphone did not play a direct role in selecting the specific ringtone for the phone. This assumption is based out of simply not being familiar with how ringtones are installed and, more importantly, why someone chooses to install them.

Ringtones can provide a brief glimpse into the personality of the individual who owns the cell phone. The tone and style of the ringtone can lend some insight into the likes dislikes and quirks of the individual who chose the ringtones.

For example, a funny ringtone can provide the information that the person who likes the ringtone is a humorous, lighthearted person who doesn’t necessarily take the world all that serious. Quite honestly, that is quite an intriguing statement for a person to make so wholeheartedly embracing such whimsical ringtones is a sure sign of a fun person!

There does come the question regarding what people may think if a person’s ringtone is too whimsical. Actually, if the ringtones that blare are ominous, then maybe it might be wise to consider what people will think. Now, if the ringtones are fun, then people will probably think the person is fun so what would be the problem with that? Life is short, enjoy it and broadcast your joy to the whole, wide world with fun ringtones on your cell.

The Fine Art of Downloading Ringtones To A Cell Phone

February 25th, 2012 2 comments

You may not be aware of it, but there is a certain skill involved in downloading ringtones to a cell phone. Here are some of the basics that you need to understand and master if you are serious about building up a nice collection of ringtones that will be available to you whenever you like.

One of the first things to remember is that there is no value in downloading ringtones to a cell phone that are not compatible with your make and model of cell phone. It should come as no surprise that there are different types of files that work on different types of phones. After all, look at the many different types of electronic documents that most of us work with each day. All are not created alike. So even if you come across a ringtone that really is a great one, don’t waste time and energy saving it on the off chance that someday you will have a phone that will accept the ringtone. There is plenty of time later on to find compatible file types when that day comes along.

Make sure that the ringtones you pick are right for you. What is the point of loading the first movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony if you don’t care for classical music? Go with something that is more in line with your personality, while still remaining within the perimeters of good taste, of course. You want your choice of cell phone downloads to say something positive about you, not be a point of evidence that your relatives can use to have you committed.

One misconception a lot of people have is that you have to download the ringtone directly to your phone. While you can, that is not necessarily the case. A number of cell phones are manufactured so that you can connect them to your computer hard drive via a USB cable and upload ringtones directly from your hard drive. This is actually a much better system, for two reasons.

First, chances are you can save quite a few more ringtones in a folder on your hard drive than you ever could on your cell phone. Second, the ringtones can be archived on a CDR, if you want to keep your collection safe and free from any type of hardware failure. After all, both computers and cell phones have been known to stop functioning. If you really want to be a serious collector of ringtones, then you want to keep your collection in a safe place. Download to your hard drive, then archive on disk.

While the mechanics of downloading ringtones to a cell phone are very simplistic, the sense of finesse behind what you choose and where you store it make ringtone downloading an art form in and of itself. By keeping a couple of simple ideas in mind, you can become a true artist of the ringtone download genre.
