Many inexperienced cellular phone users may be overwhelmed by the technical jargon they encounter when trying to purchase or use a new phone. Terms such as monophonic and polyphonic ringtones, GPRS, baud rate and the like are enough to shake many non-technophiles. This article is an attempt to explain polyphonic ringtones to the novice consumer. The first ringtone technology to be widely available for cellular phones was the monophonic ringtone. Although groundbreaking in its day the monophonic ringtone was only able to reproduce sounds and music one note at a time, two values only being required to produce the tone, pitch and the lenghth of the music.

Polyphonic ringtones are able to much more accurately reproduce complex sounds than previous technologies, and, for this reason, phones that can handle polyphonic ringtones are much more popular than their monophonic rivals. With polyphonic ring tones, complex compositions such as popular songs, college fight songs, movies scores, and others are reproduced in high quality and are easily recognizable.
