Society has come a long way with the changing times and changing technology and so is the mobile phone industry. It started off with short text messages, moved on to ringtones, faceplates and screensavers and now it has been added up with caller tunes.
Caller tunes are real music tracks that are played over the ringing tone when anyone calls you. In this way, the caller hears a song of your choice instead of the usual ring-ring while he is waiting for you to answer. There is no comparison in between caller tunes and ringtones because ringtone is what you hear when your mobile phone rings whereas caller tune is heard by the person who calls you at the same moment of time.
Since caller tunes are not ringtones, nothing is required to be installed on any phone for the service to work and the tune heard by the caller shall be the one you had purchased from the shop. Caller tunes are compatible with your mobile phone as well as of the person calling you and don't require being with t-mobile or anything special to be downloaded into the phone.
To get a caller tune you have to call up your mobile phone service or the one who provides the same and then ask for the available caller tunes of your choice. If you are directly requesting for the caller tune to be activated in your mobile phones, it shall be done within few minutes and a chargeable amount shall be deducted from your account if you recharge your mobile each month. On the other hand, if you are a postpaid or billing customer, this amount shall be credited to your outstanding bill. In case, you are new to this service then you have to pay your first installment of the monthly subscription.
You can either send the text song code through short messaging service to the provider to request for the caller tune. Many times, these text codes are available through advertisements in the newspapers, magazines or television media from which you can choose one.
You don't have the facility to use your own customized caller tunes as it was feasible in ringtones. But you can change your caller tune anytime by making a request to the provider and if you are requesting it through sms then do remember to enter the right text code for your choice song.
