Now you can assign a different ringtone to each number on your list and customize the tone for the personality of the person calling. You could also assign special ringtones for businesses, and customize them according to what that business sells, such as a Jimmy Buffet cheeseburger song for the fast-food place, or a blues song for a bill collector. Although I would recommend a bit of restraint if you really don’t like the caller, as you never know who else might be around when you get that call, this could be a lot of fun.

I have assigned a country song to the horse-lover, a party song for my bar-hopper friend, a love song for the love interest in my life, and a golden oldies song for my grandmother. You can find songs to use for a child, a biker, a cat or dog lover, sister songs, brother songs, a classical song for a dancer or concert pianist, old favorites and the newest releases. If you have friends in other countries you would know from where they were calling by using national anthems for their numbers. Imagine the fun of changing the ringtones when your mood changes, or when your address changes, or whenever!

Some websites offer some really original and fun sounds in addition to more traditional ringtones, such as the sound of the ocean, Mickey Mouse laughing, the sound of a kiss, of a water drip. You can always listen to a short clip of a ringtone before you buy it - the choices are so much fun, you can spend hours just listening to the different options.

So let your imagination run wild and have some fun with those ringtones!
