When it comes to "free" ringtones there may not be such thing as free. In most cases, if it seems too good to be true it probably is. That's why you have to be on the lookout for hidden fees and charges. Here are some guidelines to follow to get free ringtones for your cell phone.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet access
  • Cell phone number
  • Cell phone carrier

Step1
Check with your cell phone service provider to see if free ringtones are available for customers.
Step2
Be aware of hidden charges and fees. Some sites advertise free ringtones only after you pay a monthly fee or open an account.
Step3
Verify your cell phone's compatibility with the free ringtones before downloading.
Step4
Visit websites to download ringtones that are compatible with a variety of major cell phone brands.
Step5
Make your own ringtones from your personal music collection with programs, such as Make Your Own Ringtones and Audacity. You select the tunes to edit, pick the slice of the song you want to use as your ringtone and then download it. You can download directly to your phone or download it to your computer first and then upload it to your phone.
Step6
Download free ringtones from reputable sources rather than from shareware websites.
