Cellular Firms Recognize Christian Market for Ringtones"People are more actively seeking out Christian ringtones than any other ringtones." (Brentwood, Tennessee)—Daniel Dingeldein is a born-again Christian who prefers music on his cell phone that reflects his faith. When his phone rings it plays the refrains of a Steven Curtis Chapman song: "Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way." "It kind of reminds me of something I need to be doing on a daily basis," he said. According to a report in The Tennessean, those in the ringtone industry are realizing there is a growing and largely untapped market of consumers who want to express their Christianity through digital media such as ringtones. As a result, new businesses have sprung up to respond to the market, and even major carriers (such as AT&T and Verizon) are responding.

Reporter Jenny Song notes that marketers have found Christian buyers to be a "loyal and driven bunch." "People are more actively seeking out Christian ringtones than any other ringtones," said Brian Patterson, marketing and business development manager at Mobile Streams.
