How to get ringback tones for iphone

Remember ringback tones? It's that old-school cell phone feature that let you replace the standard ringing sound people normally hear when they call you with a song or message of your choosing.

Ringback tones went out of fashion years ago, but they're ready for a rebirth, thanks to RealNetworks. The company this week launched a new app in partnership with T-Mobile that lets you customize your callers' ring tone experience by assigning different songs for different people. The new app, dubbed Listen, "enables callers to hear music or status messages chosen especially for them rather than the usual 'brrng-brrng' noise that plays as they wait to connect," RealNetworks said.

The app offers an "extensive" catalog of music from Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, and several independent labels. If you want an even more personal touch, you can instead set a voice alert to inform specific callers you're unable to answer the phone when you're at class or driving, for instance. The app also lets you set songs for holidays or special occasions, and give friends the option of choosing the tune they'll hear when they call you.

"After a successful launch in the U.K. this past November, we're thrilled to officially bring Listen to smartphone users in the U.S.," Max Pellegrini, president of RealNetworks' mobile entertainment division, said in a statement. "This new category of entertainment gives music lovers, and their friends and family, an interactive and sharable soundtrack for their calling experiences."

The app is available now(Opens in a new window) for T-Mobile customers on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone platforms. You can choose from a free basic service or a more feature-rich version for $2.99 per month. If you're not on T-Mobile, you can submit your email address on the Listen website to be notified when the service is available through your cell phone carrier.

"T-Mobile customers are huge music fans, and with Listen, our customers now have a cool new way to personalize their mobile experience with music and other content," Mike Sievert, CMO of T-Mobile, said in a statement. "From now on, when John Legere calls me, he's gonna hear Billy Idol's Rebel Yell while my phone rings."
