Ringtone History
The first commercial cellphone with ringtones was the Digital Mova N103 Hyper and sold on May 1996. It had a few preset songs in MIDI format. On September 1996, the Digital Minimo D319 was the first cellphone sold where a user could input an original melody for a ringtone, rather than the preset songs.
The first downloadable cell phone ringtone service was created and delivered in Finland in 1998 when a Finnish mobile company started their service called Harmonium. Harmonium contained both tools for individuals to create monophonic ring tones and a mechanism to deliver them over-the-air via SMS to a mobile handset. On November 1998, Digitalphone Groupe started the similar service in Japan.
TrueTones or Real Music Tones, were first introduced on December 2002, and have revolutionized the ringtone industry. My Gift to You by Chemistry was the first song to be distributed as a truetone music ringtone.
Ringtones spread like wildfire, through Europe, Asia and of course the US. It is fascinating how many people have personalized their cell phones and buy music ringtones, downloadable mobile games, cell phone wallpaper, bling and cell phone designer cases.
