Cell Phones As Unique As You Are

In the world of evolving technology, the cell phone is ever changing. Most cell phones are getting smaller, thinner and are able to search the internet just like computers. As cell phones change daily, cell phone users change, too. Country and Pop genres of music are growing in popularity. Now days, downloadable music is quickly taking the place of the traditional CD, and people want to take their favorite song with them everywhere.

Most cell phone providers are creating means for customers to download ringtones of their favorite songs to keep up with the downloading trends. AT&T has customized a special section of their web site just for this purpose. AT&T offers different genres to download such as R&B, Hip Hop, Holiday, Pop, Rock, Country/Folk, Latin, Sports Tones and more. The AT&T website offers ringtones, graphics and answer tones all a la carte, or customers can join My MEdia Club for discounted download services.

A ringtone is a tune that plays when your phone is receiving a call. Ringtones allow you to personalize the way your phone rings. Answer Tones let you replace the standard ringing sound that a caller normally hears while they wait for you to answer your phone. Answer Tones may be an audio clip of a popular song, celebrity voice, joke or quote. Ringtones are what you hear from your phone when someone calls you. Answer Tones are what your caller hears when they call your phone, in place of the standard ringing sound.

Ringtones are downloaded to your phone and stored within the handset. Answer Tones are stored on the AT&T network in a personal "library" that you can access and manage via the web or Media Net. And because your Answer Tones are stored on AT&T's servers (rather than downloaded to your handset), you can move your SIM card to another phone and your callers will still hear the Answer Tone you've selected for them.

Because the Answer Tones service is provided on the AT&T network (unlike Ringtones), there is a monthly fee for service. There are emotional categories and many genres to choose from. Graphics are downloadable pictures that can be used on your wireless phone as screensavers, caller ID logos, and more.

If purchased on their own, answer tones, ringtones and graphics are priced per download. All ringtones and graphics are charged as a one-time fee. Once you download them, they're yours for an unlimited time. You will also be charged for the number of kilobytes or minutes used for the download. The MyMEdia Club is a feature that you can add to your account that allows you to download ringtones, graphics or games from the AT&T MEdia Mall or from your phone with recurring monthly charges. A monthly charge of $5.99 (15 credits), $9.99 (30 credits), $14.99 (50 credits) will appear on your bill. Credits not used will be lost and do not roll over to the next month.
