What are Ringtones?

Ringtones are the sound that a regular or cell phone makes when it’s rings. Early ring tones were simple chimes and on later models, a combination of chimes. Limited numbers of ringtones were available and mostly consisted of different patterns of tones or chirps.

Ringtones came from ringing signal is an electric telephony signal that causes a telephone to alert the user to an incoming call.

Things to Consider Before Having a Ringtone:

The first thing you need to know before you select, buy and download a suitable ringtone is if your cell phone is up to date enough to utilize this feature. Like everything else in technology, cell phones have evolved very quickly. As a result the cell phone that you purchased just a year ago may not have the ability to fully access the type of ring tone currently available. So make sure you check. Re-read your manual or call your service provider to find out.

Types of ring tones

Monophonic
A monophonic ring tone is simply a series of musical notes, one note at a time.

Polyphonic
A polyphonic ring tone can consist of several notes at a time. The first polyphonic ring tones used sequenced recording methods such as MIDI. Such recordings specify what synthetic instrument should play a note at a given time, and the actual instrument sound is dependent upon the playback device.

Truetone
A truetone (also known as “realtone”, “mastertone”, “superphonic ringtone” or “audio recording”) is simply an audio recording, typically in a common format such as MP3, AAC, or WMA. Truetones, which are often excerpts from songs, have become popular as ring tones. The first truetone service was started by au on December 2002.
