Author: shanyang | Posted: 07.02.2012

Broadly, there are two methods by which one can download ringtones to their mobile phones. The easier, but more expensive method is to access the internet provided by the wireless carrier and download the ringtone right within the customer’s phone. This method is expensive but allows the user to preview the ringtone before downloading it.

Alternatively, the individual could download ringtones using a personal computer and by logging on to their favorite website that provides ringtones either for a small fee or completely free. If user selects this method to obtain the ringtone, it is extremely vital to check whether the ringtone is compatible with the user’s phone model. For example, not all phones support MP3 format. Hence, it is important to verify this before downloading the ringtone to the mobile phone. There are also many types of ringtones – monophonic, polyphonic and MP3 ringtones. Depending on the phone model, the specific type of ringtone is compatible.

Downloading ringtones from forums or other websites may help the user find the exact ringtone he or she wants. For example, ringtones can be reviewed by other users, which may in turn help other users to know whether the quality of the ringtone they are downloading is up to expectations or otherwise.

Ringtones are usually pop songs, popular tunes, celebrity voices or song clips and may cost anywhere from $.99 to $4.00 or maybe free in many cases. The price cost will depend on the quality, the genre and the site from which it has been downloadable from or the deal.

Once the ringtone has been downloaded on the mobile device, it can be assigned to a specific caller, a caller group such as family or colleagues or to everyone who calls depending on the user’s preferences.
