In recent years, the business in mobile phone ringtones has slowed down quite a bit. One of the main causes for this slowdown has been the changing preferences of phone users. People, who liked polyphonic ringtones, real ringtones, mp3 ringtones, etc., are now gradually changing their preferences. Instead of listening to mp3 ringtones, teenagers and young people now want music in their phones. However, some among them are still fascinated with real ringtones and true ringtones, which enable them to play excerpts of their favorite music as their mobile phone ringtones.

Another major damper to the demand for ringtones has been the corrupt practices of some firms catering to the needs of users in downloadable ringtones. Many a times, it has happened that users wanting to purchase a specific true ringtone or an mp3 ringtone have been duped of their hard earned money. Many of them thought they were paying for the download of a ringtone, when they were actually being signed up for subscription services. Under the terms of these subscription agreements, they were charged for the extra text messages and other content that they would be receiving for a specified period. These scams have played their part in reducing the trust of mobile phone users on even some of the most established names in this sector.

Providers of real ringtones, true ringtones, mp3 ringtones, funny ringtones, etc., have to get their act together to survive in this market. They have to understand the evolving needs of mobile users and adapt themselves fast to cater to the same. They should also take special care in providing reliable, efficient and "on time" services to the clients, customers and end-users of polyphonic ringtones, real ringtones, true ringtones and funny ringtones.

If all these conditions are met, then the demand for different kinds of ringtones would remain as buoyant as it was a few years ago. It can be expected that people would like to listen to music in the form of mp3 ringtones or funny sounds in the form of funny ringtones and would not be ready to altogether forego of the use of the same in their handsets.
