< Back6) What's the difference between a Poly Ringtone and a Realtone?
A poly ringtone (short for polyphonic ringtone) is a special version of a song created to play on just about any cell phone. Poly ringtones are made with a synthesizer, similar to some of the tones that are already on your phone. Music tones (also called master tones or real sounds) are short sound clips of the actual songs. You can tell the difference between the two on our website by looking at the item description. You can also preview the sound by clicking on the "Play" button.
