When you have a cell phone, one thing that you want is
to be able to define your phone by choosing your own
ringtone. This way you know that your ringtone is
special and that you can immediately pick it out from
all the other ringtones in the building.
With some phones, it can be frustrating because you
only have a limited amount of ringtones to choose
from. But that is not the case with the Apple iPhone.
Apple has made it easier than ever to find just the
right ringtone for your iPhone.
When you choose the Apple iPhone, you have a directory
of over 500,000 songs on iTunes to choose from, but
the options don’t stop there.
Once you have found a song that you want to select in
the iTunes store, you can use your own imagination and
creativity to have the song played the way that you
want it to be played.
You can have it fade in and out, loop, and preview it
before you purchase it to make sure that it’s just the
way that you want it to be.
With the Apple iPhone, you never have to worry about
having the same ring tone as everyone else because you
make it the way you want it to be.
When someone hears your phone ringing, and how cool it
sounds, you can say to him or her, “Thank you. That’s
my Apple iPhone that you hear, and I created that
ringtone myself.”
There is a certain satisfaction in knowing that you
took charge of your own ringtone.

A Cheap Cell Phone Addition: Free Ringtones Show Off Your Style
Express Yourself with Free Ringtones
Downloading free ringtones may be one of the newest ways to express to strangers and friends alike you affinity for certain music. It’s free, and it’s right at your fingertips on the internet. With ringtones, you can display not only your taste in music, but your preferences in general, or even your sense of humor.
Ringtones in General as a Context for Free Ringtones
Typically costing around $3 in the United States, ringtones are being likened to previous possibly personalized digital interfaces, such as skins. They are even being compared to bumper stickers as a way for people to express their musical opinions. There is also a practical side to getting an individualized ringtone – if many people around use the same service provider, people will get confused as to whose phone is ringing if they all stick to the standard ringtones that come with the phone.
Because of their general popularity with the public, ringtones have become big in the music industry as well. In fact, ringtones have their own billboard chart.
Are Free Ringtones the Best Option?
A technological and frequent way to assert your individuality, free ringtones allow you to express yourself. One of the most popular searches on the internet today, free ringtones are convenient, but watch out because you get what you pay for. If older songs are what you are looking for, free downloads that don’t compromise quality may be available. But if you want good quality popular songs, it could cost you a dollar or more per ring tone to get it on your phone. So weight the importance of quality before you spend time on free ringtones.
Where do Free Ringtones Come From?
Often of poor quality, free ringtones are frequently illegally obtained, often unbeknownst to many downloaders. Remember that free ringtones are free for a reason – maybe the free ones are in such low demand, that they don’t even deserve to be priced. However, it is possible that some ringtones are free because their copyright has expired and they are in the public domain; again, this will likely be older songs, though.
Free ringtones are typically created by people hired by cell phone companies and are cheaply produced through playing single keys on a piano or keyboard. Ringtones may also be free because they are being used to promote brands, products, or celebrities. Still other varieties of free ringtones may be created by other mobile users just for kicks.
Sometimes free ringtones aren’t really even free – they could be available by subscribing to a monthly service, for instance.
Ringtones and Copyrights
Each separate song that a user downloads is supposed to have its own separate license. Licensee’s must request and obtain these or risk being in infringement of copyright law. Ringtone produces sometimes offer sharing, but this too can be a violation of copyright. The only exception is if the copyright has expired and the music is in the public domain (mostly only with older music) or if the artist has licensed their music to be shared. Ringtones are subject to the same copyright laws as any other digital recording.
