These days everyone has a cellphone. It is such a common accessory now, they have become almost as ubiquitous as wristwatches. And just like the little old wristwatch, they can be used to project your personality and make whatever statement you want to make. Your cellphone can be fun and colorful, business like and serious, or upscale and trendy. And the way you give your cellphone that character is much more than choosing a particular model.
First up, my favorite cellphone customization – ringtones. This is the easiest way to change the personality of your cellphone. It lets you recognize your phone, unlike when you and 5 people around you are still using the default ringtone built into your cellphone. With your own customized ringtones you won’t have to search for your phone again just to realize that it isn’t even you phone ringing. Custom ringtones are also great for letting you distinguish between your most frequent callers. You can assign a specific ringtone to different incoming numbers, so you know who is calling before you even check the number.
Idea number two is more about the personality that you project just to the people that call you, rather than coming right from your cellphone for you and people around you to hear. What I mean is the ringtone’s little brother, the ringback tone. This lets you set up music or sound clips to play for people calling you, as they wait for you to pickup. Instead of just hearing the standard ring beeps, they could be introduced to the latest club tune that you just have to share, or maybe you’d like to play some actual live elevator music just to amuse your friends.
