First, it is very cumbersome and time consuming to select a specific song from the list of numerous songs by calling the voice answering system.

Second, since the ringtone melodies provided by the voice response system are melodies only for a specific measure in advance, there is a case that the user does not provide the measure of the preferred measure.

Third, if almost all of the users prefer only the melody of the latest song, and the number of downloads of a particular song is excessively increased, the ringtone differentiation from others will be limited.

Fourth, there are many cases in which there is no specific melody desired by the user, and thus there is room for service dissatisfaction.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention can easily and quickly select a desired bell melody using voice recognition (or text message) when selecting a remote bell melody through a mobile phone, a computer, or a landline. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a ringtone selection method of a mobile communication terminal that enables the user to download a section designated by the user among the selected bell melody as a bell melody.
