Enjoy 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.
First thing, I have to tell you that my favorite customization is not even the music clips. I love to find fun audio clips for adding to my cellphone. Anyone can hear the latest pop song, in fact they are probably sick of it by now and it's the last thing they want to suffer through while waiting for me to answer my phone. I may as well put on elevator music.
The audio clips that I look for are old style comedy clips. Even though these haven't been in circulation for many many years, and have long ago exited the tv comedy show rotation, I think they are fun to find and put on my phone as my ringback tones. Since a lot of people that call me will be hearing these for the first time, it's actually seems like I have the coolest ringback tone around.
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.
In order to get the ringback tone to play for your caller when they dial you, you will need to go through your cellphone carrier. The easiest way is to use the web interface, where you can browse, preview, and order the ringback tone or ringback tones you want on your cell. Unfortunately, there is no way for you to upload your own tones, which also means that the possibility for you to upload free ringback tones is also out. Regardless of that, the fun ways that ringback tones allow you to customize your cellphone for your friends and relatives is still worth a few bucks to me, so you know that I'll keep using them. Well, that is until the next fun cellphone customization thing comes along. - 18762
