• Ringtones are sounds emitted by cell phones that signify that a person is calling or some other pre-determined action, such as receiving a text message. Many modern ringtones are played in the MP3 format and can be purchased from a variety of sources or created by the user.

  1. Transmitted through waves
  2. Three different types of ringtones: Monophonic, Polyphonic, and Truetone
  3. Selling ringtones is a huge business for scammers

• 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.
