Instead of paying your mobile-phone carrier or other websites to create ringtones, you can simply use your existing music files to create free ringtones online. Phonezoo provides an easy way of creating your ringtone, either from an audio file on your computer or by recording your own voice. The site also has an extensive community and allows sharing of custom ringtones between users.

Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Follow the link in Resources to to Phonezoo. Click the "Sign Up" button at the top right of the site. Enter a user name and password, your email address and your country, and agree to Phonezoo's terms of service and privacy policy. Click the "Register" button to create your free user account.

  2. Step 2

    On the next page, enter your mobile-phone carrier, phone number, phone manufacturer and model. Click "Done."

  3. Step 3

    Double-check your phone settings, then click "Verify phone." Phonezoo sends a text message to your phone containing a 6-digit verification code. Open the text message on your mobile phone and enter the code into the verification field on Phonezoo's website. Click "Submit verification code."

  4. Step 4

    Go to the "Ringtones" tab on the main navigational menu. Click "Create From File." Phonezoo only supports files that do not have DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection. Most music files from iTunes or other digital outlets support DRM, and therefore cannot be used as a ringtone. Click the "Browse" button, locate the music file on your computer that is not DRM-protected and click "OK." Make sure the file is in the format supported by Phonezoo and is less than 15 MB in size. Click "Upload."

  5. Step 5

    Once your music file has been uploaded and processed, edit it to create your ringtone. Each ringtone can only be 30 seconds long. In the ringtone editor, enter the start time of your ringtone. You can add "fade in" and "fade out" effects here as well. If you wish, you can enter a title, artist and description for your ringtone and select whether or not you wish to keep your ringtone private. Once you are done editing and have selected your options, click "Save and Send to Phone."

  6. Step 6

    Wait for Phonezoo to send your phone a message with instructions for downloading the ringtone to your phone.

Tips & Warnings
  • Although Phonezoo is free, your phone carrier may apply standard charges for text messaging, Internet use and downloading your ringtone to your phone. Check your carrier's plan for specific charges.
