Ringback tones, or ringtones, are used to replace the standard ringer you hear when a call is placed to your mobile phone. You can create and upload your own tones to your mobile phone. Media files such as MP3s and WAVs can be converted to ringback tones using a ringback tone making website such as Make Your Own Ringtone. The tones can be made within a few minutes without the need to download any special software.
