.mobi Cell Phone Ringtones

[thebiffenator]

Would it be hard to get free ringtones on a .mobi site with out costing a fortune for licensing fees? I guess my point is, do I need alot of cash to put some kind of ringtones (preferably Hip-Hop/R and B) of mainstream songs or even just random songs.

I got to know if I should sell my rare book/coin collection lol Chances are I would offer the ringtones for free for sometime to build up traffic and to Brand it for sometime and until the payment gets up to date with .mobis

Here are the names that will tie to the site that I bought months ago.

Blings
BlingRing
BlingRings

Right now I am just trying to decide which mobi site to develope next (I'm itching to start a new project). All suggestion welcomed, especialy if I shouldnt try to develope these yet.

Thanks,
Brian

Thanks for advice Steve,

I think what I shoudl do from here is to find a list of noncopyrighted songs, or make the tones my self lol Or maybe pay someone that knows how to make tones.

But I think if I can brand the name for people that are looking for generic noncopyrighted hip hop ringtones for free, then I can start adding on the popular ones later down the road and then start charging in like a year or so.

Actuly what realyl sparked me to the hip hop rintones was watching mtv, every commerical is about texting to recieve a free hip hop ringtone, I highly recomend everyone to watch mtv1 and mtv2 around 9 at night, most of the commercials are all about the cell phones.

Hi Brian,

Picked up "BlingTonez.mobi" with similar intents. Of course this is assuming I ever find time to work on it and/or any of the other dn's I have...

Good luck with yours!

You can find non copyrighted songs at http://www.riaaradar.com/ (or check to see if they are copyrighted) a lot of non US bands arn't copyrighted.

A shareware ringtone converter can be found at http://www.download.com/One-click-Ringtone-Converter/3000-2641_4-10475297.html

There is also a ton of packs on eBay with thousands of ringtones.

thanks for info again Steve, I am gona do my research over the next month or so and round up some cash and try to get this thing launched hopefully by mid summer.

Also Testcase, That is a great name and develope it, I think there is a huge market for that the term bling IMO. And Bling-Bling & Bling just recently got added to Websters dictionary this past summer. And the name is spreading around and becoming more socialy acceptable even by jewlers IMO (I actuly did an ad for a jewish jewelry store and they told me to use the head line, "We Got Bling" It was funny and I asked her if she was serrious an she said yes, so I did it.
