Since the advent of polyphonic ringtones available for most modern mobile phones, there is an interesting discussion going on among the users, some of which stick to old versions of their favorite song while some others find the new style ringtones more popular. Then, which one has the larger chance to prevail longer? We are going to try to examine the advantages and disadvantages of both and aim at reaching a confident result.

First of all, an examination of advantages of both old and new style mobile ringtones is essential in order to have a stable perception as to how these two rivals can affect one another in this endless war. We have to notice that as technology gets more and more promising to develop new systems for which the old ones are abandoned, old version strategies get outdated. This rule partly applies to recreational industry elements since there were, are and will always be some to favor this and that regardless of the positive and negative aspects of the item they are favoring.

On the other hand, the old style ringtones, namely monophonic ones, provide a classical environment for users who are being fascinated with the tone coming out of the antenna of their mobile phones. Also, there are lots of infamous specimens of the new style element, polyphonic ringtones that may have discouraged people to use those on their mobile devices.

We observe a huge market when polyphonic ringtones are taken into consideration. For the last few years, mobile phone manufacturers chose the way to eliminate monophonic ringtones from their newly developed mobile devices for the sake of popularity, however we can still see some samples of popular monophonic ringtones in the market for those who favor the old to the new.

Considerable size of the old style mobile phone ringtones market mentioned above determines public awareness about revolutions in the industry as well. To be more precise, any new polyphonic ringtone introduced to the market not only increases the number of people subject to take advantage of it but also has the potential to bring about a new system that may entirely change the dynamics of this market. Old version mobile phone ringtones can still be sold, but in case the above situation occurred, there would not be such a thing called monophonic ringtones.

Coming to the disadvantages of both styles, we can easily see the importance of noiseless ringtones, those having nothing but a nice tone to help be favored by most people. On the contrary, some polyphonic ringtones seem uneasy to adapt due to the fact that noise produced by those can often level out the noise of an heavy truck carrying cement to the construction area.

In conclusion, monophonic ringtones are likely to live for at least a decade further but there is no reason to make sure they will be get able to go for another due to the high possibility of technology to come up with a revolutionary system to put all the old ones to the waste. For the time being, polyphonic ringtones are a step behind despite its potential to get better in a short time.

Mobile phone ring tones have undergone a metamorphosis of sorts and its incessant evolutions have always ensured that they hog reams of newsprint and web space. In an attempt to live up to its reputation the media have time and again been successful in glorifying the status of these mobile phone ‘must haves’ and the sources through which they can be acquired.

Several websites have been dedicated to this technological innovation, with websites offering pre - composed ring tones of famous tracks along with an opportunity for the users to compose their own tracks with the help of user friendly software available at almost a negligible cost. Certain softwares that attempt to offer more creative freedom to the users allow for carefully slicing certain portions of sound tracks desired as ring tones, thereby making them compatible to download as ring tones on to the mobile devices.

Mobile phone ring tones from websites can be downloaded using wireless technologies such as WAP, GPRS, Bluetooth, Infra - red, et al for a nominal cost. Downloads through mobile phone operators usually come at a slightly higher cost and are more often than not a rude surprise especially to parents who are footing the bill for their teenagers’ phones. As per several recent reports there have been several cases in the consumer courts of the world of the terms and conditions imprints being too fine and therefore being overlooked by children and teenagers who have only too happily jumped on to the bandwagon of downloading the latest mobile phone ring tones from easily accessible sources. And this is more so when they are initially misled to believe that the ring tone(s) are going to cost them just a small amount, whilst the marketers have carefully hidden the fact that in an attempt to download a ring tone even once, the young consumers are actually entering into a monthly subscription contract. This is just one of the signs of children and teenager’s donning the role of aggressive consumers. Add to this the fact that opportunist mobile phone manufacturers are tapping into the latent needs of this relatively untargeted group to promote their handsets with the latest technological services bundled. The hype created by the marketers themselves around mobile phone ring tones, only adds to this group’s fascination of the ring tone.

Researchers and tracking experts have touted festive seasons, in particular, an interesting period for the marketing of ring tones for children. Some of the all time favorite ring tones during the festive season, as reported, are Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jingle Bells, Holy Night, Frosty the Snowman, et al. What’s more, children opt for remixed and rock versions of these famous songs so as to aptly meet their tastes.

Mobile phone ring tones have off lately also emerged as a strong promotional tool for marketers of products, services, and entertainment. Producers of movies targeted at children and teenagers, along with their OST’s release, also make freely available specifically composed mobile phone ring tones of the film’s popular soundtracks. By ensuring that their target audience has an easy access to these ring tones, they are only making sure that there is no wastage of message by communicating directly with their audience. Children, as per reports, have known to have taken very well to the ring tones of Mickey Mouse and the Gang, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Pixar, et al.

With parents being non - hesitant about giving their children mobile phone handsets, and marketers and web site promoters making sure they overcome every hurdle to reach their little audiences, there is an urgent need for a regulatory body to step in to the scene to guide these young consumers and prevent them from being misguided.

Do mp3 ringtones provides the same quality of sound as other polyphonic monotones, true tones?

MP3 audio files have compressed music data without any effect on the quality of sound as compared to original CD track. Today, youngsters are crazy to download the latest music songs as their mobile ringtones. Mp3 ringtones are easily available and could be downloaded if the cell phone has the compatible software installed.

Other ringtones such as polyphonic ringtones also provide quality sound while an incoming call rings. True tones and voice tones are also very popular as the consumer is able to customize these as per his likes and dislike or even download the voice of his family members. These ringtones are much better than old mobile beep tones which used to be of same type and less quality of sound making one feel dull.

Are Online Mobile Ringtone Services Really Reliable?

Michael Thomson asked:


From the starting days of mobile phones capable of downloading data from external sources, several services providing users with recreational information such as ringtones, logos, games, and applications which facilitate users’ activities while they are using their mobile phones. On the other hand, reliability of such services is in question due to leaks in some companies complaining that online mobile services convert their mobile phones to online communication machines, which is not the real theme why online data transfer protocols are introduced for mobile phones. The following paragraphs will be aiming at examining the real situation and the crucial facts behind the scene.

First, let us look at the current situation and what legal actions are taken against these conflicts. For today’s world, there are over two billion mobile phones in use and more than half of these are of high standards, meaning they all have the capability to connect to the Internet via protocols such as WAP, GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. On this occasion, there is no limit for a user with a good mobile phone to download data from the Internet and use it in his/her mobile device whenever s/he wants to. The crucial problem gets to the scene at this point, when users are forced to download data over the Internet while they do not exactly know what they are transferring to their mobile devices. For instance, there are some services claiming that all types of mobile ringtones are available in their online store whereas one cannot download what s/he wants to do. Instead, the user is given the information that s/he did get the accurate data but the reality is just the opposite. Such users are deceived via simple tactics.

However, we can always ask for legal authorities to examine the situation and force the service provider to compensate for the expenses that were resulted from the misleading information over their website. In fact, it is very hard to go after such ailments since some services have their headquarters in other countries, so any legal attempt to examine the activities of such service providers cannot bring about a solid result. Furthermore, those service providers situated in the same country as the user may complain from the unawareness of the user about the warnings prior to the download process, maintaining that the service provider does not accept any responsibility upon such an occurrence. Thus, there remains no hope for the user except for going to the court.

Still, this does not mean that all online mobile ringtone providers are unreliable. Generally speaking, international service providers perform high quality help for their customers, making sure the users are downloading some content with their own interest and warn them by a final message that exhibits service provider’s agreement that any conflict between the data to be downloaded and that the user does have will not result in a responsibility for the service provider. After all those instructions, users are free to navigate through the website and download whatever data they are searching for.
