Deliver A Song

Are you funny, entertaining, stylish or cool? Better be careful. Someone might be able to figure this out just by listening to your ringtone. There are many different types of ringtones to choose from and each says something different about you. Some ringtones are simply a sound effect, or a monophonic melody made of similar tones. Others are polyphonic melodies made from a combination of instruments. Still others are actual songs in the form of MP3 music. What ringtone fits your personality best? Some Web sites offer insights into this with ringtone personality quizzes. One asks such things as what your favorite style of music is, how fast you drive, how many CD’s you have at home, how often you go to live music shows, what your favorite color is and what your favorite pet is. It then assesses your personal style and comes up with recommendations of ringtones especially for you. (I was sophisticated and refined.) Of course, you may be the type who instinctively knows where to turn for your ringtones without such guidance. More power to you!

How did ringtones become such a prominent social force? According to the Web site the history-of.net, ringtones are European in origin with the first of these telephonic signatures sold in Finland in 2001. At the time, Finnish teenagers were heavily into text messaging and the Finns were trying to further develop their cellular technology. According to the history-of.net Web site, it was Matti Paananen, co-founder and chief technology officer at Helsinki-based Add2Phone, who invented the business of selling custom ring tones. As soon as American companies got wind of it, they too wanted to take advantage of the market. After all, there were 137 million Americans who spent around $70 billion a year on mobile telecommunications services. The American companies conducted market research that revealed that teenage and college girlsall who loved to talk on the phonewere the target customers. According to the history-of Web site, Boost Mobile, a prepaid cellular company majority-owned by Nextel, was the first to unveil a phone targeted at teenage girls who liked to surf the net and chat on their phones for lengthy periods. Their phones came with nearly 500 ring tones, and featured pop-music songs such as “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, “Like a Virgin”, “Funky Town”, “California Dreamin'”, and “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” Sounds like the old transistor radios we used to hear around the beach.
As phones become fancier and even more technologically advanced, even more people will be able to take advantage of ever-evolving ring tone options. Analyst Dana Thorat at IDC, a technology research firm, estimates that 9.9 million people downloaded a ring tone in 2003, up from 4.8 million in 2002. IDC predicts that number will grow to 54.3 million by the end of 2007. Richard Jesty, an analyst at The Arc Group, a London-based telecommunications consulting firm, says, “Over time, the novelty will wear off, but not yet.” He expects that sales will remain strong through 2008, eventually hitting $5.2 billion worldwide.
So what ringtone will you choose to make your very own personal statement? Keep in mind that whatever one you select will say a lot about you.

There’s no doubt that cellphone ringtones have become one of the latest crazes in the technology world. With practically every new cellphone that’s introduced having the ability to allow individuals to download pretty much any type of ringtone they want, what more could consumers want? On the other hand, there are plenty of issues that go along with placing ringtones on a mobile phone that could make it a lot easier. For example, the Apple iPhone is supposed to be the best cellphone when it comes to downloading songs and having them used as ringtones.

However, there’s a lot of controversy surrounding that phone simply because it’s only allowed by Apple on a certain network. Even though many people have recently discovered how to unlock the Apple iPhone, the issue is still there. So the simple question becomes about how one can get quality music ringtones quickly to their phone.

Create Ringtones Yourself: Many people are tired of waiting for cellphone companies to “approve” songs or music artists as ones in which they’ll allow in their official and safe-to-use ringtones list. However, there are several ways in which an individual can create ringtones without any help from the phone company. The simple way of doing this is to buy a cord for your phone, many of which are available for a very low cost on the Internet.

This will allow the phone to be plugged into the computer. One also simply needs a music program that will splice, dice, and reconfigure songs so that they can be chopped down to the exact size that can fit on a cellphone. All that one needs to do is transfer songs to their phone after it’s been made, and they can enjoy having them as ringtones for as long as they keep their phone.

There is also another important method of creating ringtones by oneself that individuals should know about. Usually these are costly services, but there are places to go on the internet that will allow you to repeat the process discussed in the previous paragraph. However, the only difference is that these companies will actually send the created ringtone to your phone instead of making you hook your cellphone up to the computer. This process is a whole lot easier, but as mentioned, can be costly.

Download Ringtones From Third Parties

Most every individual knows that cellphone service providers usually don’t have all that much of a selection of songs that can be used as ringtones. This is perhaps a big reason why there are many third party vendors that are willing to send you pre-made ringtones from the internet.

For example, there are some companies that will allow anyone to subscribe to their service in exchange for a small fee per month, and this service will allow individuals to enjoy a limited number of ringtones sent straight to their phone each and every month. Many people choose to get their cellphone ringtones in this way not only because it can be fun to do, but also because it’s much easier than either waiting for songs to be approved by a service provider or making the ringtones by oneself.

All things considered, one really has to wonder why cellphone service providers do make it difficult for individuals to get new ringtones delivered to their phone at a low cost. Nevertheless, there are many ways in which someone can directly bypass their own service provider and download or receive any music ringtone that he or she wants!

On the iPhone, are the only ringtones you can use the ones that come with the phone? Or is there a way to get custom ringtones for the iPhone?

the easiest way to get a custom ringtone for the iphone is to do it thru itunes. I just go onto my song list and if there is a little bell next to the song it means that you can make a ringtone out of it. Then u right click on it and go down to make a ringtone and then you can pick how long it is, where it starts and stops in the song, if it fades in or fades out, etc. works pretty well for me 😀

Forget the days of hearing that generic cell phone ring that made you anxiously reach into your purse and fumble for your phone. In today’s age of individualization, no one has reason to suffer through homogenous rings with the abundant supply of websites and providers that offer ringtones that can personalize your otherwise ordinary cell phone. Have a song that you love to listen to? Hop online and search for that specific tune and chances are you’ll find a ringtone to go with it. Then, customize the ringtone to play only the part you want to hear when friends call – or, assign a specific ringtone to one particular person. The options are endless.

There are only a few criteria to consider when choosing what website to download ringtones from. First, be sure that your cell phone is compatible with the ringtone you’ve chosen. Verizon users, for example, can be assured that any tune downloaded from Verizon’s website will work with their phone. If you’re considering using any other website or service, be sure to check and see that your phone will be capable of receiving and playing your ringtone. Secondly, be sure that sound quality is acceptable. Most websites will allow you to preview a ringtone before making a purchase. Thirdly, make sure that you understand how and when you will be charged for your purchase. Most major service providers will add any ringtone purchases to your next month’s bill. Once you have these three bases covered, hop online and get ready to jazz up your cell phone!

SouthernLINC

SouthernLINC Wireless offers a broad range of ringtones, wallpapers, calltones and applications.

I have a LG Chocolate VX8500.
I was curious whether it was possible to transfer a song as a ringtone onto it via Bluetooth.

At the same time, what file format does the phone support? I tried to transfer a midi file , but it was a Bad File Format. So when I used an online midi to mp3 converter and transferred the mp3, I received the message: Insufficient File Resources.

So is there ultimately no way to transfer a 9KB Midi File (.88 MB MP3) to the phone?

Help!

Pavtube Video to 3GP Converter can help you. It can convert the videos or audios into *.3GP, *.3GPP compatible with your cell phones.

One of the neatest features of today’s modern cell phones is the ability to get ringtones for them that you can download to your phone. You can associate a particular ring tone to specific callers so that you can tell who is calling without even looking at your phone, just by listening to the ringtone you have assigned to that caller.

Almost all cell phones have this ability today and the amount of creativity that cell phone owners are showing with the ring tones they have chosen is truly amazing. Think of how you could set that up on your phone. When your son calls from college, his assigned ringtone might be the song “Money”, since you know that is what he is calling you to request. When your boss calls you, his ringtone might be the 70’s rock song “Taking Care Of Business”. When your flaky neighbor calls who always wants to talk to you about the latest money-making scheme he has discovered, your cell phone might play the theme song from “Looney Tunes”. When your ex calls you to ask about your late alimony payment, your cell phone might play the ringtone from the Wizard Of Oz, “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead”. The possibilities are endless and are limited only by your imagination.

Cool ringtones are nice to have in your mobile phones especially if many people are calling you. Instead of hearing the usual ring of your mobile phone, why not download a ringtone of your favourite song? You can even designate ringtones for each of your caller or groups of callers. Choosing ringtones might be difficult for some because of so many popular ringtones that are available today. Sometimes, they end up downloading ringtones that they really do not want. So to give you some tips on how to choose among the hundreds of popular ringtones over the internet, here is a list of what you should consider.

Ringtones are very important because it is also a form of self expression. Other people will hear the sound so it is better to choose something that will suit your personality and tastes. For instance, if you like rock music, choose songs of popular rock bands such as Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, and even classic bands like Nirvana or Metallica. If you are also the quiet and romantic type, you can choose love songs or even pop music.

Some websites have personality tests for people who want to download their free ringtones. If you do not have any idea what to download and you have a few minutes to spare, you can take the short quiz to know what kind of ringtone suits you. It may sound weird but it is very effective in choosing ringtones for your cell phone.
