Fre music ringtones seem to be one of the newest and hottest trends right now. I am sure you have all noticed that when you hear a cell phone ring on the street or in a store, no longer do the phones have just standard rings, but now they sing songs. Where do these ringtones come from? There seems to be such a wide array of possibilities as no one seems to have the same ring.
Well to start out many phones come with links to sites to download ringtones directly through the phone. Most phones allow a certain amount of free music ringtones as a trial, maybe one or two and then you have to start paying for them. These ringtones can range from ones with only music to ones that actually have the words to the songs.
There are also numerous websites on the internet that offer free music ringtones. However there is normally some sort of catch. For instance you may have to have a certain cell phone provider. Others offer free music ringtones with the purchase of another product.
I have also noticed that many companies are now using free music ringtones as promotional devices, for example Pepsi. For a while when you bought a Pepsi you would look under the cap and sometimes it would say one free ringtone. You then of course had to go to some website and download from a limited list but it was still free.
There was also a very bizarre commercial on television in my hometown that gave you a code number to call to get a ringtone. I am still not sure what they were promoting.
I am sure more of these types of promos will continue to appear, as people continue to be obsessed with what different and crazy songs they can make their phone sing.
