Silent RingtonesOh sure, you think a silent ringtone is just a marketing ploy. Well, it’s not. Silent ringtones are becoming an essential tune to have on your mobile phone. As telemarketers are developing more crafty tactics and ex-girlfriends improve on near-stalking you at all hours of the night, using a silent ringer, or ringtone, becomes very useful.Phones of a few years ago and a few rare models today had no need for silent ringtones, they offered a setting to use no ringtone at all. Of course, this came with its own set of problems, as all calls were missed, not just the Pennies for Pets people and the ex. Silent ringtones can be assigned to specific numbers only on most new phone models. This offers you the option to set Mom, boss and all your friends to one tone and set all other incoming calls your silent ringtone. When someone calls to sell you a set of knives, you won’t know it since you haven’t assigned them an audible tone. So where do you go for a silent ringtone download? Start at your cellular service provider’s website. If you can’t find silent ringtones offered there, you can find one offered by StartMobile. It is absolutely free, no strings attached at StartMobile. The name of the track there is My Cage, by Jonathan Keats. Once you’ve downloaded the empty sound of your choice, make sure you do a silent ringtone soundtest before you find you can hear it at 2 AM. If you have pets, do the sound test while they are in the room, to make sure it isn’t just a high-pitched note that will annoy Fido and Fluffy. Simply set your ringtone to the silent track and call your cell from your home phone. If you hear nothing, perfect! Be aware that some websites advertise a silent ringtone but actually deliver a teen tone, known as mosquito ringtone or teen buzz. This is a high pitched sound, much like that a mosquito makes. Most adult ears cannot hear the pitch but most teens can. When teens set their ringtone to the mosquito track, they can receive notice of incoming calls or text messages during inappropriate times (during class, for example.)
