How to Remove Call Tones
Call tones, also known as "ringback tones" have been introduced to the mobile world as a replacement for the pulse and dial tones. Call tones are usually heard when an incoming caller is waiting for the person to answer the phone. These tones are chosen by the owner of the incoming phone. The most popular songs in today's music are usually used as ringback tones. Removing these call tones can be done online by simply accessing your cell phone account through your mobile carrier's official website.
