How to Find United States Cellular Ringback Tones
Ringback tones are what your caller hears while they are waiting for you to answer your cellphone. U.S. Cellular offers ringback tones on its company website, which--unlike ringtones which you download to your phone--are hosted on the U.S. Cellular servers. In order to purchase a ringback tone, you must subscribe to the U.S. Cellular ringtone service at $4.99 a month.
