Sprint PCS Offering Voice Ringtones
A few years back, when some of the first phones that let you create your own ringtones came out, someone I know, named Dan, took a friend's phone (when that friend wasn't around) and set it to announce (in his voice) "Dan is calling! Dan is calling!" whenever (you guessed it) Dan was calling. Sprint PCS is taking this concept to the next level. With the popularity of ringtones increasing, they're now offering "voice ringtones" of celebrities telling you to pick up the phone. I still don't see how ringtones are worth paying for - whether they're voices or music, but we've already established that I'm out of touch with today's youth.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
