What does MyRingTone.net do?

Many modern cellular phones support the playing of tunes ("ringtones") when you receive an incoming call. MyRingTone.net provides an easy and quick way for you to download ringtones to your Nokia (or some Sagem and Motorola) phones.

Here's a step by step example.

Step 1 - Finding a ringtone

Clicking on any of the search links will take you to a web page where you can search our database of ringtones. You can search by some phrase such as "Stan" or "Blondie" or "birdy", you get the idea. Or you can select by categories (example: TV themes) which will then show you some tunes appropriate to the category.

When you navigate through the search, you end up with a table, which lists those items that are available. Most tunes have a "preview" link on the table, which if you click it, will call up a (MP3 encoded) file of something like what the ringtone will sound like on your phone.

If you like a ringtone, make a note of its number, and then progress to step two.

Step 2 - Ordering a ringtone

Having made note of the ringtone item number, and making sure you know your phone number, you need to call the order line. The number is shown at the bottom of every page. And it is best to call this number from an "ordinary" phone, because some mobile operators charge a heavy penalty for calling 09xx numbers.

Speaking of phone numbers: there are two ways you can quote your number. A UK mobile number will start 07something, and that format is acceptable to the order line computer. You also may know your number as +447something, or you may have seen this as an SMS address. That format is fine too, just leave of the leading plus sign, and key in 447whatever.

So now, call up the ringtone orderline. You only get asked three questions, which are, in order:

• The item number
• Your phone manufacturer (Nokia / Sagem / Motorola)
• Your phone number

The item number is checked to see it is a valid tune. However, you are most unlikely to key the "wrong" tune number, as tune numbers are "sparsely populated"; you are far more likely to get a nonexistent tune number, which the computer will politely complain about.

But its that phone number thing. Almost all "missing" ringtones are correct ringtones, sent to the wrong number.

And that's it. Be sure to hang up your phone when the computer asks you to. We try to terminate the connection, but if it doesn't work (and such things can happen) you could possibly stay online. Once We've hung up, we then forward your new ringtone across the global SMS network, and it should arrive very soon thereafter - usually just a few seconds.
