When mobile phones first became widespread, they came with built-in ringtones that allowed users to customize the sound of an incoming call. These sounds weren't full songs, but they were able to offer users a customized experience by allowing them to choose the type of notification they want. A Finn named Vesku Paananen decided to take advantage of this technology and started his own klingelton business in 1998. He started by offering a wide range of ringtones for free download.
Before adding ringtones to your phone, you must first find a ringtone that you like. Ringtone websites usually offer dozens of choices for you to choose from. They charge a license fee for each ringtone downloaded, but there are free sites as well. It is possible to find free ringtones online as some older songs have already passed copyright or are in the public domain. These ringtone programs can be loaded onto your phone with a data cable or sent over the airwaves.
Another free custom ringtone maker app is Cool Ringtones. It allows users to create their own ringtones and create personalized music collections, including alarm tones and notification tones. The app also includes a volume adjustment feature that allows you to change the volume or pitch. Also, users can create custom ringtones for SMS and alarms. And if you really want to customize your ringtones, you can use the Sound Recorder app, which requires in-app purchases.
