#NEW VERIZON RINGTONES FREE#
Thanks for the memories!Ī few memories of ringtones for me personally, well, many people had the free default ringback tone which was “Vivaldi’s Four Seasons – Spring (Part 2).” I’ll never not be able to think of the friends and love interests in that era that had that default tone when I hear the song.Android app: The app will ask for multiple permissions, these can be skipped and the app will open, however, the permissions must be accepted for the app to function correctly. Still, the institution was dead essentially and many were still surprised they were still in existence. This is basically the official end of ringtones and ringback tones, but apparently T-Mobile and MetroPCS offer them through third party apps. You will not need to do anything to implement these changes or receive prorated bill credits, if eligible. You may receive a one-time, prorated bill credit(s) for the subscription fee and any active Ringback Tone(s) that you purchased. Your existing subscription(s) and any Ringback Tone(s) you purchased from the Media Store will be automatically removed from all lines on your account, and you will no longer be charged a subscription fee for this feature. Verizon put out the following statement on their website regarding ringtones and ringback tones:Įffective August 26, 2020, Verizon customers will no longer be able to subscribe or purchase ringback tones ahead of its discontinuation on October 31, 2020.Įffective October 31, 2020, Verizon will be discontinuing Ringback Tones and Playlists. AT&T did away with ringback tones in 2011 and Sprint did shortly thereafter. The trend started to die down in 2008 as sales began to decline. Verizon even encouraged the user to change up tones for various times of year such as holidays. It was a way to show off your connection to pop culture or flaunt music snobbery. Changing a ringtone or ringback was akin to changing a social media profile photo, avatar, or wardrobe. Verizon started the service in 2004 and it took off. A user would pay a few dollars a month to have this service. A ringtone was a song that played on your own phone instead of a ring sound when people would dial your phone.

The caller would hear the song instead of a ring sound until that person picked up or prior to the call going to voicemail. A ringback was a song that played when someone dialed your phone number. A ringback or ringtone, for the younger generation, were two different things.
