What are Ringtones?
Over the last few years, Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and Siemens have introduced a new feature in their phones. This is the possibility to compose one's own ringing tones directly on the phone or to send them to the phone, from a computer, using a data cable or SMS technology.

This way, phone users can have a broader variety of ringing tones to choose from, thus easing the growing problem of multiple phone owners being in the same room: everybody wonders whose phone is ringing. With a very unique ringing tone, it's easier to recognise one's own phone.

In addition to that, some users value the possibility to personalize their phone, by changing the background logo for a picture that represents their personality and by using one of their favourite songs as their ringing tone.

Ringtone, Ringer Tone, Melody, Tune, what's the proper term exactly?
It depends on usage by each company. Some manufacturers, for instance, make a distinction: ringer tones or ringtones being those meaningless tones produced by your phone to alert you of an incoming call, and melodies or mobile melodies being musical tones composed using a melody composer.

Do all phones allow programmable ringtones?
Most European GSM phones increasingly do offer that feature so ringtones are much more advanced in Europe than in North-America. The most recent and popular Motorola phones only have fixed ringtones, but most new European models have a Motorola melody composer. Other companies that offer melody composers in some of their phones include: Alcatel, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sagem and others. For the most recently updated list of ringtone-compatible phones.

Not all sites ask you to pay for ringtones. Sites that ask you to pay do it partly for profit, but also to cover the fees associated with sending to your phone or to cover copyright payments made to the copyright holder. However, don't necessarily assume that a site that charges you for ringtones necessarily pays copyright fees to the copyright owner - in fact, many don't.

To comply with the principles of copyright, use public domain melodies as your ringtones or, if you prefer using pop music, always make sure that the site does pay copyright fees to the relevant copyright holders.

At Talkintones we always make sure that the mobile melodies and ringtones we provide are properly licensed.
