New Ringtones for Christmas

Spice up your phone tunes with this Ringtones for Christmas. Man...Telcos make a lot of money nowadays.....Can they ever go bankrupt ?

Brittany Edwards, 13, of Villanova, Pennsylvania, likes Christmas music, but only a few weeks before Christmas. And, she doesn’t like hearing it in stores or on TV commercials; she only likes it on her…cell phone.Brittany is like many teens that are as likely to enjoy listening to Christmas carols as much as they would enjoy listening to disco. That is, until her phone rings. “Most of them (Christmas carols) are just plain boring. A ringtone makes it more upbeat. No lyrics to listen to. So you get the whole tune out of it without the annoying words,” said the Connecticut seventh grade student.Seasonal ringtones are part of a big business in an industry that is ringing up profits for many companies across the United States. Independent ringtone operators are earning $600 million per year from the sale of ringtones and some industry analysts estimate that carriers are deriving ten percent of their annual revenues from data applications, the biggest of which happens to be ringtones. Billboard magazine even ranks the Top Ringtones each week. “Ringtone sales have far exceeded our expectations for this year,” said Bret Dunlap, president of Monstertones (www.monstertones.com), a ringtone company that provides the newest type of ringtones, MP3 ringtones.
