Ringtones have been around for ever!

So it's not often that a new ringtone service impresses me enough to step up to the PC and write about it.

So when I find a ringtone service that has me thinking "WOW! That's Great"! - I take the time to tell you about it.

So which ringtone service has got me buzzing?

SingMyRing.com - This one is simply brilliant!

It's all in the name. SingMyRing.com provide really catchy, and professionally produced ringtones using YOUR name. I can't emphasise the quality enough - They're the best I've heard in a very long time.

So How Does It Work?

You visit the site and type in your name. They'll let you listen to a load of previews of ringtones that use your name in the track. There are loads of different versions available... Acoustic, Barbershop, Dance, Disco, Funk, Garage, Piano, Rave, RnB and Rock.

But It Doesn't End There!

You can also get 'Pal Tones' - Ringtones that use your friends' name. Type in your mates name and you can get a ringtone based on the 'XYZ is calling you". The you can assign it to your contacts so that when XYZ calls you, you know exactly who's calling. Excellent stuff!

There's More!

SingMyRing.com also provides 'Alarm Tones' and 'SMS Text Alert Tones' that use your name. Neat stuff.

Still, The Fun's Not Over Yet!

There's also a bunch of 'Text Tones', 'Funny Tones' and 'Rude Tones'.

Free Offer from SingMyRing.com

There's also a 'free stuff' offer, but I didn't investigate it. I just ploughed in and bought a bunch of them for me and Mrs. Thumblounge.

A Good Example...

Mrs. Thumblounge is really called Michelle. here's what they had on offer...

- Ringtones for use on HER phone.
- Alarm Tones for use on HER phone.
- Ringtones for use on MY phone.

About the Rude Tones

I have to tell you that I nearly wet myself with laughter when I heard one of the rude tones. This one is strictly for adults and utterly hilarious.

If you do one thing today, check out the 'Warning! C**t Alert' ringtone - If you're not easily offended, you will piss your pants. I promise!

I got an email from Ricardo over at moipal.com, a mobile social network and free mobile game for your mobile phone.

MoiPal is a friend you create on the internet and that lives in your phone. With MoiPal you can play fun games or just hang out and have a talk with some other pals. Choose your clothes and friends, compete and explore a virtual world full of excitement. To get MoiPal for free, just go to:
moipal.com

I've had a look around, and it fun. It took just a couple of minutes to get going, and create my pal (moi pal - geddit?). You choose the style of home yourpal lives in and one of four regions that home is located in. I was torn between the city and the beach, but went with the city in the end.

Once your account is created, you download your pal to you mobile phone and you're good to go. Currently it's compatible with most Nokia handsets, but imagine this will be avilable on other handsets over time.

I highly recommend you check it out for yourself at moipal.com

Well not really, but you may fool one or two of your friends with this neat mobile download that's nothing more than a cleverly animated mobile wallpaper that you download to your cell phone.

The UK version won't fool anyone though, because the cell phone numbers that appear on the 'radar' are in the wrong format. A shame, but judge for yourself.
