Pushtones are similar to ringtones, except they aren't for your cell phone, they're for your friend's phone. Let's say you're feeling the need to express yourself when you call your best friend Betty. When you dial Betty's cell phone, you can now personalize Betty's ringtone to be the song of your choice! This is a push tone. You are "pushing" a song that you've previously selected to be the ringtone that Betty hears. Betty will only hear this pushtone when you call her. Often times, the push tone you push to another cell phone will override their default ringtone if they have one setup. The pushtone is a downloaded music file that you will soon be able to download for free on this site (stay tuned). Once downloaded and installed on your phone, you can push it to as many phones as you'd like, but you can only do so by calling another phone that is enabled to receive pushtones.

Many cell phones today are already equipped to receive pushtones, but the mobile service carriers in the US haven't enabled the service yet. Push Tones are quickly becoming popular in international markets including Japan and South Korea. European markets are quickly catching on as well. Within 4-5 years, everyone in the US will be talking about pushtones. Look for service offerings from top cell phone carriers including Cingular, Verizon, Nokia, Sprint, and tMobile.
Over 79% of all music in Japan is acquired via mobile devices? Push tones will most likely be available in a similar fashion here, but for now, American consumers are still doing things the old fashion way by searching on Google for things they need to entertain themselves. Mobile service provides will ultimately begin charging fees for push tone downloads, probably in the range of $1 - $4 per pushtone. Why pay your hard earned money though when you'll be able to download them for free here at Push-Tones.com?
Nobody really knows yet. Some big-shot VP of product development at an undisclosed technology company realized that consumers were spending well over $300 million a year on ringtones. It was then that they decided to explore other media they could sell. After all, wall street investors need to get paid too! If there's an opportunity to make a noise, and consumers are willing to spend money on that noise, why not monetize the need? It was then that the push tone idea was created.
Nowadays, consumers decide the spelling. Most folks have come to the conclusion that "ringtone" is a one word phrase, so we here at Push-Tones.com suspect that the pushtone phrase will follow a similar path.
