Today’s society thrives based on getting everything for free- and mobile phone ringtones are no different. Getting the latest MP3 “true tone” ringtones usually costs cell phone owners a pretty penny- but those who are tech-savvy enough will get them absolutely free. Although many different methods are possible, a few in particular are the most beneficial.

Oddly enough, some mobile phone companies are so strict that they won’t even allow third party content on client cell phones. North American citizens will recognize U.S. Cellular as one of the major proponents of this rule. Although they claim it is in the best interest of the customer, most say that they actually just want all the profits of mobile phone ringtone downloads for themselves.

Connectivity is what cell phones are all about- and this fact also helps give mobile phone users a way to get free ringtones even under tight watch from the mobile phone provider. Technologies such as Bluetooth allow mobile phones to connect wirelessly and share content. It just so happens that ringtones can be traded this way, meaning friends can share ringtones and content for no charge at all.

Before one can transfer any ringtone to a friend or family member, they must first obtain the ringtone. Internet websites can help one’s situation in this case, as they are able to offer free ringtones under special laws. Some websites situated in certain countries are also devoid of copyright laws- although it is still possible that the one downloading the ringtone may get in trouble for copyright infringement if caught.

Ringtones are sometimes frustrating to obtain, since it’s hard to find a specific part of a song that appeals to one’s personal tastes. If a little extra customization is wanted, or even if one wants to stay within their legal rights, making a ringtone of one’s personal music library can be done with computer software. Ringtones need to be a certain length and in a certain format in some conditions- something computer software can handle automatically!

Be warned, however, that many “free ringtones” are actually part of a payment plan. Commercials that advertise free ringtones will have footnotes that claim that a plan will need to be purchased for the free ringtone gift. This is a dastardly way of tricking consumers into money, but in the defense of such means of selling ringtones, the consumer should have paid their attention to the “fine print.”

Closing Comments

Free ringtones aren’t a myth- they just take a little bit of work to obtain. Even if one’s service provider won’t allow them to have free ringtones, making use of technology to get around such facts is quite easy. Just be sure to check with one’s local laws to be sure any actions taken are not in violation of a copyright infringement law or breech of contract.
