Have you decided to download ringtones to personalize your mobile phone?  Here are some criteria for choosing your perfect ringtones.

• Favorite songs - Your favorite songs say a lot about you as a person.  Usually you choose your favorites because you can relate to them in some fashion.  Adding these songs to your phone as ringtones enables you to share your favorites with others…or just gain the pleasure of hearing your favorite song every time someone calls.
• Personal meaning - Sometimes people choose ringtones because they have personal meaning to them.  For instance, you might choose a song that inspires you, or the song that you and your significant other have chosen as "your" song.
• Identification - Many people assign different ringtones to different people (or groups of people) in their phone books.  This enables them to know who is calling as soon as they hear the ringtone.  Often these ringtones are chosen because they represent the person or group in some fashion.  For example, someone who babysits a lot might assign a children’s song to the families she babysits for.

Regardless of why you choose your ringtone or ringtones, there are a number of places to get them online.  Many websites offer ringtones for all mobile phone users, regardless of who provides their service.  For instance, the same website might offer Verizon ringtones, T-Mobile ringtones, and Cingular ringtones.  Another benefit of these sites is that their prices are often cheaper than buying ringtones from the phone’s manufacturer or service provider.

Your best bet is to shop around as much as possible before selecting your ringtones.  There are many different sites that sell or give away ringtones, and if your choice in ringtone is important to you then you’ll want to make sure you see what’s available before making a decision.
