Sometime in 1998, the tune was renamed as Nokia Tune. In the early mobile phones this ringtone used to be stored with the name Grande Valse. It first appeared when the Finnish handset maker launched its Nokia 2110 phone in 1994. But there was a time when one tune became ubiquitous symbol of an incoming mobile phone call. A large number of polyphonic and non-polyphonic tunes are available and users are spoiled with choices. Smartphones can even play vocal songs as ringtone when someone calls you. Nowadays, we get to hear hear nice polyphonic ringtones all around us. Before the mobile era, the telephones used to “ring” and the same etymology gave birth to the word ringtone. So, I thought of telling you about the world’s most popular ringtone! A ringtone is the sound played by mobile phones when an incoming call is waiting to be answered.
No wonder he keeps on changing the ringtones! He is a mobile ringtone lover and wanted to know which is the most used ringtone in the world. After this article, a friend questioned me about the most popular ringtone in the world. It was Nokia 1100 which sold about 250 million units. I recently published about the world’s most popular mobile phone.
