New technology, New Ring Tones

There is no such thing as the regular telephone ring
anymore, I mean how boring can you get? Growing up, our
telephone had a certain ring tone too. It was called a
"party line" and you knew the phone was for you if it rang
a certain way. For example, if our phone rang in succession
of two quick rings, the phone call was for our family. If
it rang two quick then one long ring, it was for the family
across the way. We only had one television channel too,
that pretty much took care of what we were going to watch
that night. Today, you can have just about any kind of tune
you want on your cell phone to alert you that you have a
call.
Some ring tones make a nice sound and don't annoy the ones
around them. Other sounds are just down right annoying and
rude and those are the ones that are usually the loudest
and can be heard from blocks away.
Birds too have picked up on ring tone music too and a
German study has found that many wild birds are excellent
mimics. Starlings, Blue Jays and Jackdaw' are especially
good with ring tone tunes.
If you want a different ring tone for your cell phone all
you need to do is go to a website that caters to down
loading ring tones to cell phones. Find a website and
choose the kind of ring tone you want for your phone. Some
sites give up their ring tones freely, while others charge
a fee for their ring tones.
Once you have found a ring tone you like, you can download
it to your phone. The most common method for transferring
ring tones is to allow the ring tone website administrators
to send the message to your phone directly by giving them
your phone number. Another way to download a ring is to
send a specific message to your phone using an SMS gateway
site. You find the code for the ring tone you want in the
appropriate format (Nokia binary format, for example) and
copy it as a smart message.
