Introduction
Internet has made life very easy for everyone. Things which were unimaginable in the past have become a reality just because of internet. Technology has made life simpler and one such invention is the mobile phone which has made communicating with others a piece of cake. There are ways you can personalize your mobile phone through assigning ringtones to each and every contact of yours. Ringtones are customized in to every phone, however, those tones are quite basic and listening to the same tones over and over again can become a bit monotonous, therefore, with the help of internet you can download new ringtones for free to your mobile. However, all you need to do is to find such websites which offer ringtones for free.
Step 1
The first mobile phone which had a customizable ringtone was a Japanese phone called Japanese NTT DoCoMo which was released in 1996. The format of the tones was MIDI. It was the first phone in which you could put in your own melody rather than using the default ringtones. The phone proved quite popular in Japan. Today there are ways you can transfer ringtones for free to your mobile phone, choose your favorite song and transfer it into your phone with the help of Bluetooth, infrared or a data cable. Infrared is now a little obsolete and is not used anymore.
Step 2
There are many providers who allow users to make their own music through a melody composer or a loop arranger such as the music DJ in the Sony Ericson phones. The formats used in such ringtone makers are available only to a particular phone. Other formats such as the MIDI or the MP3 format are supported but they must be downloaded first to use as a ringtone. Ringtones available on the internet are generally not for free and either have a monthly fee attached to them or they charge per download. However, there are ways you can download a ringtone from the internet for free. Look for such websites which offer ringtones for free, if you cannot find one you can always transfer your favorite song to your phone and set it as ringtone. However, when doing this it is better to trim it to a desirable length or trim the song to whichever portion you want to make a ringtone. This is a cost effective method to set your favorite song as your ringtone. Other than this you need to look for websites which offer ringtones for free, once you find such a website all you need to do is download the ringtone and transfer it to your cell phone. Some websites even ask for your phone number so that they can directly message you the download link on your phone, however, it is highly likely that they might ask for money.
Tips
It is a better option to trim your desired song and transfer it to your mobile phone because many websites charge people for nominal ringtones. However, if you want a proper ringtone for yourself and not a song, then it is better to search for such a website and then transfer it to your phone. It might seem a very tedious task but it is not and you might find a website which offers ringtones for free.
