How To Download Ringtones Into Your Phone

If you are a new cell phone user you may not know how to add new ringtones to it. A ringtone is the sound that plays when someone calls you. Some ringtones are melodic tones while others are actual songs. Before we get into the instructions on downloading these tones, first let's take a look at the different types of ringtones available for mobile phones these days. The first type of ring is called the monophonic ring and is a series of tones played at varying frequencies. This is the least technologically advanced choice available.

Next is the polyphonic ring. This is similar to the monophonic but the difference is that more than one tone can be played at once for a more pleasing sound. The most popular and advanced type is called the truetone which is an original piece of music that sounds just as it would if you were listening to the radio or CD player. You can get most any song imaginable in truetone format. For example you can find current and past hits in genres like rock, rap, country, classical and more.

The first step is to find out what kind of tones your phone is able to support. Most every phone these days can do both polyphonic and truetone rings. If you're not sure about this, contact your cell phone provider. Next, you need to figure out how you want to download your tones. One way is directly through your phone. Although this is usually the most expensive choice, it is the easiest. Another option is to search the web for free and paid ring tone choices. There are all kinds of websites that offer this.

After you've located the ringtones you want, obtaining them should be as simple as texting a specified code to a specified number. Of course it is important to read all the fine print when downloading a ringtone. There could be hidden charges, recurring fees or membership costs. Sometimes this information is not obvious, so make sure to search for all the details before agreeing to anything or you may find yourself with charges you don't want. Along with ringtones, you can also download other fun extras like games and wallpaper for most mobile phones.
