Over the last several years, cell phone usage has increased dramatically as well as an increase in the number of households that have them. Now we hear that not only do more households have cell phones than ever, but also many of them have more than one. The "pay as you go" cell phone users make the number even higher.

With this increase in popularity, more and more companies are working overtime to find ways to make their brand the most popular. Many do this by offering several different plans or several different style variations of their phone. They have included features such as a camera phone, videophone, phones you can watch television on and of course, with Bluetooth your possibilities are endless.

However, with all of these new and improved features coming about on an almost daily basis and everyone wanting to have what their neighbor or friend have, where is the individuality? You may state that the different colors or faceplates or the amount of "bling" on a phone is what makes it different. However, if all of those things are available to you they are also available to every other cell phone owner.

So, what can you do to make your cell phone uniquely "you"? Different sounds and ringers are a great way to personalize your phone. It is amazing the number of different tones, sounds and ringers that are available today. You can even download call tones, which means you determine what each person that calls your phone, will hear. Instead of them just hearing in ring, you can treat them to any number of sounds, words or songs.

If you are thinking, yeah well, there are only so many songs out there to use as a ringtone; you may want to check it out further. If you do choose to download a song as your ringtone it can be done in any number of different ways, with the lyrics or without, faster or slower, etc. You can make your cell phone an even bigger extension of "you" by downloading different songs or tones for everyone that calls you. If you get tired of the ringtones you currently have, simply download new ones.

So, start downloading those great ringtones and make your cell phone uniquely "yours".
