Just recently I had an idea to personalize my cell phone ringtone with the voice of someone calling out: “The phone’s ringing!” Or better yet that time honored landline yell: “Telephone!!!”
Now I smile whenever my phone rings.
It’s Easy to Record Your Ringtone
Don’t have a microphone? A stranger to digital recording? No worries. You can make these recordings with a simple phone call.
- First get directions on how to add ringtones to your cell phone from your manual or a net search. This will vary depending on what phone you have. For some phones it’s not possible so that’s good to find out first!
- Sign up for a an Internet voicemail service.
- Then start recording! Call up your Internet voicemail phone number and make whatever recordings you want. They’ll be emailed to you as an MP3 file. You’ll be able to preview how it sounds by opening it in the media software on your computer.
- Add the ringtone to your phone, if you can.
Even if you can’t add ringtones to your phone, Internet voicemail is a great way to capture recordings of anyone near and dear to you, without needing a microphone or other recording device.
