Oh How the Tables Have Turned

I recently stumbled upon a site that allows you to make free ringtones with the music that you currently have on your computer. You are required to make an account with them, but it is completely free. Unlike other sites this does not send any sort of virus to your phone, but the downside is depending on how much traffic the site has it might take longer to get your ringtone. It will update you on the wait time on the site. You can decide how it is sent to your phone, some service providers it does not support the picture messaging option though. And obviously your phone needs to be capable of playing real ringtones, which shouldn't be a problem unless you have an out of date phone. The Website is http://mobile17.com/. It looks very cluttered but that's because it has a ton of advertisements in order to run completely free. There is an option to donate money towards the site in order to get your ringtone immediately, but as long as you have patience the free way has worked for me. Also I'd just like to add that there is no limit on the number of ringtones you can get.


The funny part of this whole post is that I only stumbled upon this site after my parents asked me to get them new ringtones. I guess they heard younger friends of theirs ringtones and they wanted to have "cool" ringtones as well. It's funny how things are lost in translation, or how the younger generations know so much more about technology then the older generations who've experienced more. Or something even more ironic, for example how many parents did not like the idea of facebook when it first appeared on the scene. Yet, now many of them are on facebook themselves. Now instead of criticising us for publicising our life to the free world, they are asking us to help them upload pictures so that their friends can see. It's come full circle.
