How to Get Ringtones

Ringtones offer you a chance to turn a basic phone into an elaborate gadget. There are several ways to gain access to ringtones. You have the option of downloading them automatically or making them manually. If you make them manually, they are free and all you need is an app or website that converts music to tones. Or you can use a more simple method where you link your music library to your phone with a USB cord.

Downloading P2P/file sharing tones

Download ringtones from torrent sites that use P2P/file sharing for free. These sites allow you to search for ringtones and preview them before you download. You have the option to upload your own tones and have them formatted for sharing. Furthermore, you can create an account, and offer your personal ringtones for sale. A few popular sites where you can do this include Myxertones and Buildatone.

Downloading ringtones from other sites

Some sites offer paid ringtones. They tend to have a large database and it is likely that you can find the ringtone you want; however, you probably cannot transfer those purchased tones to a new phone. Popular sites for paid ringtones include your phone’s service provider and RingtoneJukebox.

Check your phone

Some phones have recording features where you can set your recordings as ringtones. This is the easiest method of all but the sound quality is not necessarily as good. The most efficient ringtone phones use Android. If you have an Android phone you can download a free application from the market called Ringdroid. Once it is installed on your phone, you can choose which part in the song you like most, and save that part as your ringtone.

Ringtones can set the mood of your call. They offer a fun way to assign different music and sounds to your different callers.
