If you’ve got a cell phone that’s still ringing with the William Tell Overture, you need to update your style with a snazzy new ringtone. Learn some simple steps about how to put ringtones on Cell Phones, and you’ll be all set to go.
Ringtones are the new thing, and you need to know as a consumer that you are not limited by the ringtones that came with your phone, nor are you limited to the expensive and low-quality ringtones provided by your cell phone provider. You have a wealth of options available to you, you just need to know where to look.
If you are the do-it-yourself kind of person, then look into buying some cell phone software for your computer. The best that I have used is DataPilot’s Cell Phone Sync. When you get this software, it will come with wires that will help you to hook up your cell phone to your computer and download ringtones from your own CDs. This is great, but the software is very expensive and doesn’t work with all types of phones. In addition, you need to do all of the editing of the song yourself, the software is incapable of picking up the chorus or your favorite parts. Thus, unless you’re going to be changing your tunes multiple times a day, I would suggest against this particular option.
Then, of course, you have the option of downloading ringtones from your cell phone provider. They’ll try to scare you and tell you that this is the only easy way to put ringtones on cell phones, but the fact is, this is expensive and not worth the effort. You can get much higher quality tones online, and they’ll be much less expensive.
To get a good quality ringtone put on your cell phone from an online source, you’re going to have to spend about $1 per song. Find a good website that sells ringtones. I would recommend Monster Tones, as they have a good range of tones for pretty cheap prices. You can usually listen to these tones before you buy them, another nice feature of buying online. Find a tone you like and follow the steps to purchase it, including putting in your cell phone number. Double check to make sure that your cell phone number is correct. After you pay the small fee, you’ll get a message on your phone stating that your ringtone is ready. Each phone will work differently at this step, but it is always a simple process of hitting the “ok” button once or twice. When you do this step, make sure you are in an area with decent reception, or else your download could be interrupted.
Now go into your phone settings and change your tone. The new ringtone you selected should have been automatically put on your cell phone. That’s it! A simple and easy to use process for putting ringtones on your cell phone.
