Daniel Hornal, co-founder of the OwnYourPhone.com, identified a need for a new service when he attempted to create his own ringtone out of his own CD. The task turned out to be more complicated then originally assumed. At the end of the day, four dollars later, Mr. Hornal had a ringtone on his cellphone from his favore CD, but it was not the part of the song that he wanted.

The rington industry gaining its popularity swiftly grew to become a $5 billion worldwide industry, but users are locked into pre-canned offerings limiting the ability to express users’ true personalities.

“The system just seemed stupid,” Hornal said. “Why can’t I choose any song I want? And why should I have to pay for a song twice?”

The OwnYourPhone.com, the new company, has a vision to allow users to turn any part of a song from any CD into their unique ringtone.

“The great thing about OwnYourPhone.com is that you can select exactly what you want to have on your phone, without installing any software on your computer, then download it to your phone without having to mess with cables and software,” said Adam Eivy, Co-Founder of OwnYourPhone.com.

“The site is really easy to use, and I’m super proud of it,” said Hornal. “OwnYourPhone.com puts people back in the driver’s seat. We paid for the music, we paid for our phones, and it should be our decision what to do with them.”
