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 saleability.Why use RingtonesThere are a number of reasons consumers use distinct ringtones. 1) Distinguish Callers - Advanced feature sets allow for different sounds to signify different callers.2) Identification - When you are in a meeting and a phone rings you will know if its yours without having to look3) Fun - Lets face, having a cell phone with personality and character is appealing to general consumersTypes of RingtonesThere are typically two different types of ringtones: monophonic ringtones and polyphonic ringtones. Monophonic RingtonesMonophonic 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 RingtonesPolyphonic tones are played on cellular phones that have the capability of playing up to 16 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.Finding Ringtones & Ringtone CompatibilityThere are a number of websites that offer ringtones, graphics or even games to download onto your cell phone. The websites vary in that some allow you to purchase specific ringtones while others offer subscriptions that allow you to download an unlimited number of ringtones.
