The iPhone offers a small selection of built-in ringtones, but most are nothing to write home about. Fortunately, there are numerous iPhone apps that make it easy to create free ringtones. However, there is one caveat -- you'll need to own these songs to turn them into ringtones, so there is a little cost involved.
