Polyphonic Ringtones - For All Ages
by: Kavoos Bybordi
Polyphonic ringtones seem to be portrayed as something to be associated with trendy teens wanting to show off their latest ringtone every time their mobile phone rings. Is this really the case though? Well I recently flicked through my favourite television magazine (which seems to be full of ringtone adverts these days) and came to the conclusion that this is an image ringtone websites would like to promote. Add in the loud and lively television adverts that seem to be nothing but dance tunes and the theory is made even stronger.
Well as a matter of fact when you look beneath the surface of the ringtone market you will actually find that there is a wide selection of polyphonic ringtones and monophonic ringtones for people of all ages. There are literally thousands of polyphonic ringtones catering for those of us who liked to dance along to Abba and The Rolling Stones. You name it, there’s a polyphonic ringtone for it. Who knows if you have children this could be an easy way to let them hear the music you used to dance to! Go on show them some of your best moves, you never know they might even be impressed by your robot dance skills.
So now you may be thinking ok I have a mobile phone, I want the latest! (or should I say oldest) polyphonic ringtone on my phone. Well before you decide on a polyphonic ringtone (one that sounds better than a monophonic ringtone) you should check that your mobile phone is compatible with polyphonic ringtones. Should you find your phone isn’t then don’t worry you can simply download a variety of monophonic ringtones which are pretty much standard on every mobile phone.
For those of us who are the stereotypical youth of today there is a massive selection of polyphonic, mp3 and monophonic ringtones to cater for your every need! In fact there’s even a chart section to keep you informed about what’s hot and what’s not. Artists range from the Black Eyed Peas to the Pussycat Dolls. Whatever your style is, R’n’B, Hip-hop or Pop you’re sure to find the tone for you.
Ringtones can even be a huge discussion point what does your ringtone say about you? Have you ever wondered what everyone else on the bus is thinking when your mobile phone goes off? Without trying to sound like a style guru, one who knows all about the art of mobile phone fashion – it is worth noting that the most inexperienced ringtone purchaser can listen to as many ringtones as they like before they even think about buying one. Every ringtone, polyphonic or other has an automatic preview option allowing you to experience that feeling which only happens when your mobile phone rings.
So next time your mobile phone rings please don’t feel comfortable with blurting out the default ringtone you’ve had on your mobile phone for the past 2 years, be creative, be fashionable personalise your mobile phone, personalise yourself, be individual and above all choose the right ringtone for YOU.
