About Ringtones:
A ring tone is the sound made by a telephone to indicate
an incoming call. The term is most often used to refer to the
customizable sounds available on mobile phones. The facility
was originally provided so that people would be able to
determine when their phone was ringing when in the company of
other mobile phone owners.
A phone only rings when a special "ring signal" is sent to it.
For regular telephones, the ring signal is a 90-volt 20-hertz
AC wave generated from the switch that the telephone is
connected to. For mobile phones, the ring signal is a specific
radio-frequency signal.
An alternative to a ring tone is a vibrating alert.
Types of ringtones:
Monophonic
Early phones had the ability to play only monophonic ring
tones, short tunes played with simple tones. These early
phones also had the ability to have ring tones programmed into
them using an internal ring tone composer. Various formats
were developed to enable ring tones to be sent via text using
RTTL encoding.
Polyphonic
Polyphonic means that multiple tones can be played at the same
time using instrument sounds such as guitar, drums, electronic
piano, etc. Many phones are now able to play more complex
polytones; up to 128 individual notes with different
instruments are played simultaneously to give a more realistic
musical sound. Mobile phone handsets manufacturers have taken
full advantage of new technologies to improve speakers in
order to produce a better sound quality.
Music ring tones
A new version of ring tones, often called either music ring
tones, voice tones, realtones or true tones, now use actual
pieces of music, along with all lyrics and the entire song
backing music, including backing singers. They are usually
contained in MP3, WMA,WAV, QCP, or AMR format that can be used
as a ring tone on many Series 60, Symbian or smartphones. Many
cell phone manufacturers are including voice ring tones on
most of their newly released phones, including Motorola, Nokia
and Sony Ericsson.
