What Is A Ringtone?

A ringtone is a sound which emits from a phone when it rings and the term has become popular due to the wide use of mobile phones.

Mobile phones usually contain a wide range of ringtones for the user to choose from, and there are ringtones available for download. Some mobile phones allow users to create their own ringtones by pressing keys to make up tunes.

Some mobile phones offer polyphonic ringtones, which differ from ordinary ringtones in the way that more notes are played at once rather than just the one note which was found in earlier mobile phone ringtones.

Ringtones have become widely popular and users can now even use real songs as their ringtones. Many websites offer free ringtones. Some mobile phones support MP3 ringtones.

Ringtones can be sent to other mobile phones and users can delete existing tones if they wish.
