Everyone likes to get something for nothing – but the days of free ringtones are long gone. Right? Wrong! There are still ways to get your hands on the hottest new ringtones absolutely free of charge – if you know what you’re doing! To help you out, here are three great ways to get top tones for your cell…
Make use of Bluetooth (or infrared)
Everybody with a modern cell will probably have used Bluetooth. It’s an easy way to share files between two phones –that means anything from photos to ringtones – and a logical upgrade to the old infrared transfer! But did you know that you can also connect your Bluetooth to your PC? If you have a PC with inbuilt Bluetooth that’s ideal, but if not you can buy a cheap Bluetooth dongle that plugs into your USB port. This means you just have to find raw music files to use as your ringtones and then transfer them to your phone yourself, rather than having to pay a premium to a website to send the track straight to your cell phone! And the best place to find free MP3, wav and M4r (iPhone) tones has to be mobijoy.com.
Or try either USB or memory card transfer
This is simply a slightly less sci-fi version of the Bluetooth transfer. With a USB cable that links your phone to your PC, or a memory card that can be plugged into both devices, you can transfer MP3 files between the two quickly and easily. Again, this means you just have to locate the free music files online and download to your PC, rather than having to pay a website to send the track straight to your phone.
Free ringtones straight to your phone
It’s true – you can still find ringtones and get them sent to your cell phone absolutely free of charge. There are a few websites where you can still find free, high-quality ringtones and get them sent to you by SMS, and our favourite is probably mobijoy.com – where all the hot new tunes are absolutely free!
So remember, don’t pay over the odds for ringtones… there are still ways to get great tones for nothing!
