subject: How To Make Custom Ringtones [print this page] Cellphones, like Laptops, have become a great way to express one's personality. The best way to do this is to make custom ringtones. The prices on carrier ringtones have recently been raised. This has given more inspiration to find other methods to get great music as ringtones for free. Several websites have cropped up that provide this service.
Searching for a site like this is like searching for anything. Start out by asking around. With so many people turning to alternative means of getting ringtones that there will be a lot of people to ask. Start with friends and family. Take note of anything they say that might be of interest. Keep an eye out for words like 'free' in their descriptions.
Also don't hesitate to do a personal web search. This will make it possible to explore new sites for themselves. They will get to see all of the different features that the sites will offer. Keywords like 'Free ringtones' or 'Ringtones customized free' are just a couple of phrases that can be used to bring up a good list of links.
Please note that a lot of sites are not going to be free. They may seek a credit card number before they'll even let a customer look at the site. These are sites that should be disregarded.
There are some websites that are completely free. The customer need only have their own music. These sites have three steps to a ringtone. Most of the time it requires the upload of the chosen song. Then the user needs to crop it to the desired portion of the song. Some carriers only allow a certain length for their phones. Websites will note the lengths for most major carriers.
Once the song is cropped as one wants it, there are going to be several options on how to get it on the phone. The methods will vary depending on the website being used. However, the most common way is by text message. The website will send the ringtone to the user's phone, where they can choose to save it and set it as a ringtone.
The more tech savvy customers will be able to make custom ringtones without the aid of a website. Other carriers often allow music purchased through them to act as ringtones as well. However, music choices through a cellular carrier are limited.
