Folk Ringtones

Folk up your cell phone

By Kim Ruehl, About.com

As the world becomes more wrought with technology, our lives become more customizable. Remember when a telephone ring came from an actual bell inside your land line phone? Then cell phones came out with a few options in ringtones. Some of them are melodic. Some are more rhythmic, and still some are just loud and obnoxious.

Nowadays, your cell phone ringtone says as much about you as your choice of music. So why not integrate the two, and look forward to each time your phone rings? Whether you want your phone to announce your feelings about the war, or you just want a slow, cool groove to emanate from your purse, pocket, or bag, these downloadable ringtones are easy and fun.
