Mono Ringtones
Mono ringtones, short for monophonic ringtones, are also called first generation ringtones. These ringtones only play one note at a time, as opposed to polyphonic ringtones, which can play more than one note at once, and real or MP3 ringtones, which are actual clips of songs. Mono ringtones are the only ringtones that work on older model phones; nearly every cell phone sold today is capable of playing mono ringtones. Most cell phones also come pre-programmed with some sort of mono ringtone selection.

Different Styles of Mono Ringtones and How to Get Them: -

Mono ringtones can mean a lot of different things. A normal phone ring is a mono ringtone, but that doesn’t mean you are limited to a standard “ring ring” if your phone is only capable of playing these kinds of ringtones. Though only one note can be played at a time, there are still a wide range of different notes that can be used, and these notes can be arranged in such a way as to create tons of different songs. That means you can things like Canon in D as a monophonic ringtone, or a Top 40 song, or just about anything else you can dream up. If you fancy yourself something of a ringtone maestro, you can use a monophonic ringtone maker to devise your own ringtone and download it to your phone.

You can download pre-recorded mono ringtones from tons of different websites, and with so many websites out there, you’re sure to find a ringtone you like. The even better news is that many websites offer free monophonic ringtones, so you try out unique ringtones without shelling out a dime. If you do go for a free ringtone download, make sure you take a moment to read the agreement; some sites require you to accept text message advertising in exchange for free ringtones and may sell your number to other companies.

Things to Keep in Mind about Mono Ringtones: -

Because mono ringtones are for older phones, they are not as common as the other ringtone formats on websites. Make sure the file you are downloading is monophonic and can be supported by your phone. If you’re not sure which file extensions work for you, check your owner’s manual.
