Ringtones is now a multi-billion dollar industry and our
appetite for ringtones shows no abatement. As with anything in
life why pay for something when you get it for free?
The search for free
ringtones grows everyday but do they really exist. We all
see the ads \"Free Ringtones\" but where is the catch? Usually
this a get 1 free ringtone by subscribing for premium services
which can end up costing you 10\'s of dollars before you realise
it.
As the market has grown so have the ringtones. In the old days
of beep beep phones free ringtones were readily available and
still are as keypress ringtones which you could just enter into
your phone by your phones composer module. They were most
popular with Nokia and Motorola phones but free ringtone
converters are available to change the keypress codes needed to
enter into different manufactures composers.
Then came polyphonic ringtones. Polyphonic ringtones are made up
of multiple channels to give a more realistic sound. Ultimately
they are just midi files which are freely available on the
internet in their thousands. A quick search on Google for Free
Midi Files produces over 4,000,000 results so finding your
favourite shouldn\'t be too much of a problem. All you need do
then is upload to your phone with a datacable, infra-red or
bluetooth connection. If that\'s not possible then there are also
sites which allow you to upload files to their WAP servers and
you download your chosen fr
ee polyphonic ringtones direct to your cell phone.
Next came MP3 ringtones also commonly know as true tone or real
sound ringtones. With the explosion of mp3 files and the use of
mp3 players the chances are you may already have the sounds you
want on your mobile phone as your ringtone. Fortunately there is
software available on the internet that will help you do this
and adds the advantage of being able to edit your mp3 files so
it sounds exactly like you want it to. If you just want to hear
the chorus, or the intro it lets you cut out the sections you
don\'t want leaving you with only the bits you do want to hear.
An added bonus is also the ability to increase the volume of the
ringtone if you need to. If you can cut and paste a text file
you can edit your own free mp3
ringtones.
