Personality of a Phone Owner
There’s a common misconception that you can tell somebody’s personality by his/her ringtone. Well, if it’s a Moantone?, then probably this person has an immature sense of humor and an urgent need to shock someone, but what can you say about a person who puts 50 Cent as a ringtone? Or Metallica?
Trying to analyze a person by a ringtone is like trying to do it by a shape of his skull or by his height. It gives you a lot of theories, but no “one-fits-all” answer.
Here’s what others think:
Psychologist Graham Wilson believes that your choice of ringtones can reveal more about yourself that you might think. For example, young people choose popular music to show they fit in. An aggresive young professional may choose an action movie or tv show theme because they have no real action or drama in their lives. And people who don’t choose ringtones at all view their phones a purely functional items and are too busy to download or choose a custom ringtone. This very scientific research is just another reason should set their phone to vibrate most of the time.

You can tell only one thing for sure: if you hear a farttone or a groantone on a business meeting, its owner is either a manager (CEO?) or just stupid excited about the new technology.
Some people believe that putting classical music on their phones helps them to look serious and respectable. Most others don’t agree with this notion.
Who Buys Ringtones?
According to Telephia, 69% of all ringtones purchased in Q3 2005 were purchased by women. No surprise, young people aged 14–27 buy the most mobile content.
