Check out the following steps to get any Zedge ringtone onto your phone completely free.

Steps

Getting Free Ringtones with Your Computer

1. Navigate to www.zedge.com on your computer's internet browser. Zedge is a free site that offers music clips, movie lines, wallpapers and more for your phone.
   • Any phone that can access the internet can use Zedge, and even phones that cannot can get ringtones.
   • Android users can download the free Zedge app through their phones as well. Search "Zedge" on the Google Play Store to get unlimited ringtones right through the app.
2. Register for a Zedge account (Optional). If you plan on emailing ringtones to yourself you'll need to have a registered Zedge account. You can also save songs, post your ringtones, and interact with the Zedge community if you register. Luckily, the whole process is simple and takes only a minute or two. To register with Zedge:
   • Click the words "Login / Sign Up" in the upper right corner of the webpage.
   • Provide a valid email address.
   • Make a unique username using 5 or more characters.
   • Make a password using 6 or more characters.
   • Check the box labeled "I Agree to Terms and Services."
3. Select which phone you are using. Click the button labeled "Select Your Device" in the upper right corner of the browser window. You will be prompted to type in the model of your phone and select the appropriate phone from a list.
   • If your phone does not appear here it is likely still eligible if it has a color display and supports WAP, and most phones made after 2005 do. Select a similar phone from the same company (LG, Samsung, etc.) if yours doesn't appear.
4. Use the search bar to find your ringtone. Using the search bar at the top of the page, find the ringtone you would like to use. You can test it using the large play button to the left of the song to make sure you have the right choice.
   • Be sure you select "Ringtones" from the drop down menu attached to the right of the search bar.
5. Click on the name of the song. This will take you to the song's page where you can email the song to someone, listen to it, or download the ringtone.
6. Click the blue "Get Ringtone" button. This will bring up a small window with several options depending on your phone:
   • Download: This will save a copy of the ringtone on your computer to be put on your phone later.
   • 'Scan QR Code: Using your smartphone's QR scanner (which you can download at the app store), this option sends the ringtone right to your phone.
   • Send to Mail: This sends a copy of the song to your email account, and can help you get songs on phones that don't access the internet. You will need to have a registered Zedge account.
7. Save the ringtone to your computer. You will be prompted to save the ringtone or "View the file" using iTunes or another media browser. Save the ringtone somewhere where you can easily find it, like your Desktop.
   • If you are having issues, try the "Send to Mail" option. Zedge will send you the ringtone as an attachment along with phone-specific instructions on downloading.
8. Plug your phone into your computer. Almost all phones today come with cables made to link your phone to your computer, usually through a USB port.
9. Use your phone's media browser to put the ringtone on your phone. Your media browser is where you can manage the songs, pictures, ringtones, etc. on your phone. iPhones, for example, use iTunes. A general outline for adding media with any browser is:
   • Open your phone's suggested media browser. Often this will happen automatically when you plug your phone in.
   • Click "File"-->"Import" in your media browser and then find your ringtone.
   • Click and drag the ringtone to your phone in the media browser.
   • If this does not work, check out Wikihow's specific advice for adding ringtones to Android, iPhone, and Ringtones and Other Downloads
10. Know that non-Apple Smartphones can access Zedge directly. While Apple does not allow downloads, other smart phones can use their internet browsers to navigate to Zedge.com and download ringtones without putting them on the computer first.

Adding Ringtones To Phones Without Internet

1. Follow steps 1-5 in "Getting Free Ringtones On Your Computer." To get Zedge ringtones on older or simpler phones you will still need a computer with internet access. Find the ringtone you want and click "Get Ringtone."
2. Choose the option "Send to Mail" and send the ringtone to yourself. This will send your email account a downloadable version of the ringtone that you will forward to your phone.
   • Make sure you keep this email from Zedge and know how to find it again.
3. Find your phone's email address. Every phone has an email address that you can access using text messages, and you'll need this to get your ringtone. Your email address changes based on your cell phone carrier, but it always begins with your phone number. For example -- if my phone number is 234-567-8910 and I use Verizon, my email address would be 2345678910@vtext.com. For a complete list of carriers and their address, check out this page. You can also use this trick with any phone carrier if you cannot find your address:
   • Open up a new text message.
   • Send a message to your home email address (ie. WikiHowRules@gmail.com)
   • Open the message in your email browser, and check the "Sender." This will be your phone's email address.
4. Forward the ringtone to your phone's email address. Take the email from Zedge with your ringtone and send it to your phone's email address. Be sure to "Keep all Attachments," as the attachment is your ringtone.
5. Open the attachment with your phone. Your phone should get a new "message," after you send the email. Click or tap the attachment and choose "Save the Sound." You may now set your new ringtone!
   • Name it appropriately to avoid confusion.
6. Change your phone's ringtone in settings. In your phone's settings, choose "Tones," "Sounds," or another similar menu. From here you can see your new ringtone and set it to your phone.

Tips

• Apple does not let iPhone's download directly from Zedge.com. However, iTunes can put any ringtone on an iPhone.
• Don't attach several ringtones, as some phones can only handle one attachment.
