Ever wonder what people are talking about when you hear ‘ringback tones’? Ringtones have been popular for ages, but the ‘new cellphone ringtone’ works in a slightly different way. In simple terms, when you call someone you usually will hear a beep letting you know that you have been connected and the phone is ringing – this is the ringback tone. Cellphone carriers have made it possible to customize the sound you hear to just about any song you can think of.
