You can’t go a whole day of city life without hearing a ringtone. People download them constantly, update their ringtone lists based on a whim or what the billboard music charts tell them is hot that week and flaunt the best of the bunch. Why did ringtones become such a popular industry? There is one very simple explanation: the ringtones that your phone comes with aren’t that great. Just think default settings on this one. It is usually difficult task to search through your new phone and find a ringtone that is tolerable, let alone one that you might actually enjoy hearing.
To attempt to remedy this situation, some phones come with a program that lets you create your own ringtones, but really, who has time for that? Also, what was so wrong with the simple, standard “ring” that land lines use? Did the cell phone pioneers have a traumatic experience involving land lines, hence the creation of wireless technology and separation between types of telephone?
Anyway, why make your own ringtone, which ensues hours of trying to figure out the technology and then starting over every time you make a mistake, when you can get almost anything online? There is the definite possibility of downloading just about anything imaginable as your ringtone. Would you like to hear clucking chickens in order to know that your mother in law is calling? It can be done. Do you want to hear bodily noises, just to see the reactions on other people’s faces when your phone rings? That can be done too. Do you want to drive your best friend insane with the horribly composed polyphonic version of his favourite song? It’s so bad that it is good, and it can be done.
You can get ringtones that tell you jokes, ringtones that call you by name, ringtones that call the caller bad names, ringtones that tell you who is calling, ringtones that play your favourite song, ringtones that play the songs you grew up to… there is no end to the possibilities.
The market is so big because you can literally get pretty much anything you want and there are lots of businesses how have found their niche in the market and do pretty well specializing in Redneck ringtones or Calls of the Wild.
