The default ringtone that came with your phone doesn’t always feel like it’s right for you. You may find it annoying, too similar to another sound, or just want something that suits you better. Fortunately, there are plenty of ringtones available for both Android phones and iPhones. You can even set custom ringtones.

More and more use music streaming services nowadays. One of them is Amazon Music, as long as you are a Amzon Prime user, you have access to Prime Music’s 200 million songs catalog. You can stream them on compatible devices or download songs for offlime playback. If you want a more comprehensive music selection, then it’s worth stepping things up to Music Unlimited($7.99/month for Prime users), which offers a bigger library of songs.
