Downloading a new ringtone is exciting. If you’re like us, the first thing you want to do once you get it is to immediately test it out. You want to hear what you just purchased! But you can’t. Because once the download finishes the darn thing disappears into the abyss that is your cell phone, causing you to have to go hunt for it. Instant gratification fail!

Well, friends, there’s a solution. We tested some phones from each major carrier in the U.S. and have made some easy step-by-step videos to help you quickly and conveniently set and customize your ringtones. Even if you don’t have one of these specific phone models, we’d still encourage you to check out the videos. It’s very likely that the software will be similar between phones on your carrier. Good luck!

When Alexander Graham Bell prepared himself for the first phone call way back in 1876, one can only imagine that someone prepped him ahead of time to let him know Thomas A. Watson was calling. Otherwise, we’re not quite sure how he knew someone was on the line. Subsequent phone calls, however, quickly necessitated some sort of noise to alert people there was a person on the other end of the phone. After all, sitting around all day waiting for someone to finally start talking would have been a pretty poor use of time, even for the late 1800s. And so, the world was blessed with the ringtone.

Over the years, the history of ringtones has grown considerably: from the rotary tones of yesteryear to actual pop music tracks. But, it took a lot of innovation and a long road of progress to get us to the point where movies can be interrupted by crystal clear hip-hop instead of a conventional ringer or a grating MIDI. The below timeline offers a look at the evolution of ringtones over the years, and the way the cell phone ringer has evolved rapidly over the last two decades.

It will help you remember just how important Dad is! Here are a few ringtones that gives Father’s Day the respect it deserves!

 

Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers – Father’s Day

 

When you’re growing up without me
I will always be with you
Must be something in the way that I was raised
And the bruises keep the breaks at bay
Yeah the bruises keep the breaks at bay
On Father’s Day

 

Amy Grant – Father’s Eyes

 

She’s got her Father’s eyes, her Father’s eyes
Eyes that find the good in things, When good is not around.
Eyes that find the source of help, When help just can’t be found.
Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain.

 

 Elnathan – He’s My Father

 

I know my father
Gives me his love each and every day
Through all of these creations
Lies the beauty that my father made
