Types of Ringtones
Monophonic ringtones are a series of beeps or notes coming from a single channel and were the first ringtones to be developed. Polyphonic ringtones describe songs or short recordings of music using multiple channels, or allowing for multiple sounds at the same time. Truetones are the most popular in modern cell phone use, and are short sections of actual recorded songs, generally played in MP3 format.The Ringtone Business
In addition to downloading ringtones from wireless service providers directly, there are hundreds of other ways to get a specified ringtone. Consumers should be careful when downloading a ringtone from a third party service as many ringtone websites contain malware, while others automatically subscribe your phone to their service and charge recurring fees directly to a users' phone bill.
