How to Add MIDI Ringtones

Before real music ringtones emerged in the mid-2000s, monophonic and polyphonic MIDI ringtones were the rage in personalizing your cell phone. These MIDI (Musical Instrumental Digital Interface) tones are still available and often can be downloaded for free. Adding these ringtones to your phone is as simple as saving them to your computer and using a USB cable to transfer them.
