Different Types of Ringtones to Chose from
If you live in the modern world you'll certainly have heard a
ringtone at one time or another. Those annoying sounds, of
someone receiving an incoming phone call on their cell phone,
can be heard everywhere. Ringtones are becoming more and more
popular as the mobile phone continues to make advances in
technology. As they become more popular, ringtone manners are at
the forefront of many discussions today. Where and when should
ringtones be allowed? Many workplaces and public areas are
banning the use of the cell phone so that the annoying ringtones
can be avoided and so that other people aren't disturbed by the
sound. However, no matter what restrictions are placed on them,
ringtones will continue to be everywhere. After all, ringtones
are a big business venture for some companies. Also keep in mind
that music companies will get those "royalties" when they sell
their sounds to the cell companies for use as ringtones.
If you've ever wondered how ringtones are possible, it's all due
to technology. Each ringtone uses RTTTL, which is short for a
programming language called "Ringing Tone Text Transfer
Language". This language was created by Nokia and is a very
important development in electronics. There are many different
types of ringtones that you can choose from. These ringtones
include True Tone, polyphonic tones (can play several notes at
once), and monophonic tones (these tones are the most common
today; can only play one note at a time).
When you purchase your new cell phone you'll be given a list of
optional purchases that you can choose from to add more
functionality to your phone. Ringtones are one of these options
that you may want to consider. Your phone will come with some
ringtones already built into the system however you can download
more unique ringtones, at a small price to make your phone even
more personally customized.
