Send Ringtones to Your Cell Phone Through Email

Most cell phones allow you to add a new ringtone by sending a binary ringtone code over the Internet, either by email or through an SMS gateway. It's a simple process that will only take about five minutes. All you need is your phone and internet access!

Steps

Initial Steps

  1. Before attempting this, make sure that your cell phone is able to receive emails.
  2. Browse free ringtones. There are numerous websites available on the internet that have free ringtones for you to download.
  3. Select a ringtone. Once you've done this, copy it using your computer's clipboard or go to Uniring to convert it.

Uniring

  1. Go to Uniring to convert your ringtone if you haven't already.
  2. Select a format choice. You will be given a series of options. Select the one that is most appropriate for your phone like "Nokia Binary" or "Motorola by SMS."
  3. Copy and paste the strings of code. Once you select your option, Uniring will return one or more strings of code labeled "Message 1," "Message 2" and so forth. This will be your ringtone. Use your computer clipboard to copy and paste that text file.
  4. Click on the "Send it to your phone" link.
    Provide your phone number and cellular company's name. If yours is not on the list, use your cell phone's full e-mail address.
    Your phone's full e-mail address is its 10 digit number (with no spaces or hyphens), the "@" symbol and your cell company's e-mail extension. An example would be 15554443333@mobile.att.net (if you had an AT&T wireless account).
    If neither option works for your phone, contact your cellular company's customer service department.
    Click the "Send It!" button. You will automatically be returned to a ringtones page.
