The concept of a funny voice or the voice of a celebrity that alerts a user about an incoming call is often regarded as novel. Moreover, many mobile phone users have this feature on their cell phones. With the possibility of recording your voice in mobiles, users have begun to use their own or someone elses voice as ringtones.

Today, the voice ringtone feature is one of the fastest growing segments of the mobile ringtone industry. It all started with the second generation mobile handsets that were introduced to the market. With more progress in the semi-conductor industry it has become possible to record your voice and use it as a high quality ringtone. This market has been boosted by the fact that more and more mobile users want their phones to be more personalized. Just record your voice and your phone instantly becomes unique. Most of the voice ringtones involve people using funny ways of speaking or altered voices, as most of them are made to tickle your funny bone or ignite your sense of humor.

Though voice ringtones are downloaded the same way as polyphonic tones, they require special features on your phone to play back correctly. Only a subset of phones has these features. Many portals today provide you with a great variety of free voice ringtones. These can be celebrity voices or can be dialogues of movies or even sports talks or religious chants. It all depends upon the user. Many users like to record a song in their own voice and then use it as a special ringtone. With more and more newer handsets coming to the market with greater storage and reproduction capacity, the voice ringtone arena is getting more popular, as the quality is better and more crystal clear. Also with the rise in downloading and the conversion capacity of MP3, voice ringtones have also become a very popular option for mobile users.
