Ringtunes

Buzz's picture

The latest cell phone craze is personalized ringtones. 

 

When a cell phone rings you are no longer subjected to that annoying "bleep tone" but a variety of rings - from the latest Kanye West track to the Hockey Night In Canada Theme.  I've got the James Bond theme on my phone.

 

Ringtones are a multi-million dollar buisness with companies charging 99 cents a tone.  Teens account for most of the downloads, changing their ringtones every week or so (more than 50 bucks a year).  There is even a "Ringtone Chart" in Billboard magazine (Super Mario Brothers Theme is currently #1). 

 

Some people have even assigned a different tone for different callers.  Click here to check out CC's ringtone when his wife calls. If he ever leaves his phone at home and Bonnie tries to call him he is gonna be in a heap 'o trouble!

Tomorrow morning we are going to talk about Ringtones.  we want the answers to these questions...What's on your phone?  Have you heard a Ringtone that drives you crazy?  Are Ringtones cool or annoying? Leave your thoughts, views and opinions at the sound of the beep...
