With personalized ringtones being all the rage and cell phones being in everyone's pocket, it was time for home phones to get into the act.
VoIP service Skype has signed a deal with Warner Brothers to offer ringtones featuring the company's roster of best selling artists.
The artists include some of the world's biggest names including Madonna, whose tracks from'Confessions on the Dancefloor' have been popular downloads from services like iTunes.
Each 30 second sound clip will cost $1.50 and follows similar deals that the music arm of Warner Brothers has made with the mobile phone industry. However, this isone of the first deals made with a VoIP company.
Although Skype makes its software available for free, it makes its money through offering premium services. The deal with Warner Bros music is expected to be only the first of a series of announcements with the other major labels.
