Have Fun With Your Cell Phone Ringback Tones
Anyone that owns a cellphone has probably been bombarded with all of the possible add-on features that are available, such as super duper voice mail packages, call-id, block call-id, downloadable games, custom ringtones, etc. What I have just discovered lately is another fun customization for your cell phone, custom music clips that play for your caller when they are waiting for you to answer. I have some fun ideas for anyone that has been considering ringback tones for their cell phone, but is still undecided.
My favorite thing about ringback tones is probably not something that many people think of, but the majority of the ringback clips that I put on my cellphone are not music, but instead they are just plain audio clips. Well, not just any old clips - the ringback tones that I look for mostly fun clips that will make any body that calls me smile or even laugh out loud.
The best audio clips that I have found are old, some would call them retro, classic comedy routines. This is just perfect for me, and I get a lot of comments about them when I answer my call. In fact I get a lot of call backs with people wanting to hear the end of the monologues.
The more common choice for ringback tones is still music though. This is understandable, since your caller won't really feel like they are missing out on anything if you pick up and the song is cut off. Songs are entertainment, and can be really fun depending on the song you choose, but in the end it is just a cool dead air filler that gives your cell phone a bit of your own personality and identity.
Even if you are a die-hard fan of a less popular music style - for example I know some people who just won't consider listening to anything but jazz, then you won't have any problem finding ringback tones that fit into your musical tastes. Since you depend on your wireless carrier to create a selection of downloadable ringback tones, there might be a limited selection if your style of music is really obscure, but most providers carry at least some tones from just about any genre you can think of.
To get the ringback tones installed on your phone, you need to go through either a call-in interface, or use the carrier's website to select and purchase the ringback tone you want on your phone. Yes, I did say 'purchase', because unfortunately you can't control your own clips, and therefore you can't get free ringback tones. The clips are stored on the wireless company's server, so you must go through their setup program to select and program them for your phone. Regardless of that fact, it's just one more fun thing that I can do with my cell phone, so I can guarantee that I will continue to set up ringback tones on my cell phone. - 18418
