If you pay attention to telecommunications news, you know that the Cingular phone brand has ceased to exist. The company was bought by AT&T in 2007 and went through significant re-branding in order to be switched over from the Cingular name to the name AT&T. But if you’re looking to download ringtones for your phone, you might still want to search for Cingular ringtones.

The ringtones that were available for Cingular remain available today. Some companies have started re-branding these as AT&T ringtones. However, many companies continue to operate with the Cingular name for the ringtones that they have available. If you want to broaden your choices for shopping online for ringtones, you’ll want to search not only under the new AT&T name but also under the old Cingular name. This will open up your options.

Of course, you might find that you don’t want Cingular ringtones at all. You should consider whether you were originally a Cingular customer or you were actually an AT&T customer. For example, if you just started as a customer with the company when you got your iPhone, you’re going to be interested in iPhone ringtones not those that were designed for Cingular phones. Do some shopping around in order to find the sounds that are right for your phone, whatever the company providing it might be called these days!
