I admit it. I love ringtones. When I got my first cell phone in July of 2004 (thanks to my dad, who was nice enough to sign up for a cell phone plan in his name since I had crappy credit and would have been stuck with crappy, expensive and pain in the butt prepaid cards), the first thing I did when I charged up the cell phone was plan on getting some ringtones. Color me disappointed when I found out that my very basic model cell phone — a Nokia something or other — didn’t support the ability to download ringtones from websites or transfer from computers. But it did allow me to purchased very overpriced ringtones from my cell phone provider’s (T-Mobile) website.

I was much happier with my second, third, fourth and especially fifth cell phones (Samsung E315, Motorola Razr, T-Mobile SideKick II and T-Mobile Dash), as I was able to have ringtones sent directly to my phone from websites. Further, with my current cell phone, the T-Mobile Dash, I can connect to any computer and transfer ringtones directly to it.

All this talk of ringtones comes about from a site I’m looking at right now, ringfactory.net. As the name suggests, ringfactory.net is all about ring tones. ringfactory.net boasts about reasonably priced software $19.99) that enables you to make as many ringtones as you’d like using any mp3, CD, or the software itself to come up with your custom ringtone. Hey, sounds good to me! I spent considerable time to find the right programs and settings to make ringtones from existing MP3 files, but I admit, if I had come across this program in my extensive search, I probably would have at least considered it!
