For a majority of people, the mobile phone is a style statement and considered as an extension of their personality.
Amongst the various customisations that is possible in a mobile phone, the easiest and the most exploited one is that of the ring tone.
Gone are the days when the land line had a particular buzzing tone and you had to keep to it whether you like it or not.
The boring buzz has long been replaced by stylish and hip ring tones suiting one's mood and persona.
The next question that may pop up immediately on your mind - where to find the cheapest ring tones for your mobile phone? The answer is simple with the World Wide Web playing a major role in our lives.
Such tones are readily available on the internet.
The sites that most often offer ring tones are music sites, cell phone review sites or sites that offer customised cell phone applications.
Many sites charge a very nominal subscription fee and allow you to download the ring tone to your cell phone.
The other best place if of course our very own idiot box.
There are many music channels that also offer ring tone downloads.
All one has to do is type in a code and send it to the number that is displayed on the television screen.
This is rather a costly affair as the cell phone companies charge the text message that is sent and then a something extra for the buzz tune.
Another fantastic option for the people with an ear for music is that they can edit their favourite tracks and set them as customised tones.
This is by far the cheapest way out, all it requires is a little creativity and effort from your end.
