Free ringtones may be hard to obtain for some, but they aren't impossible with the right mobile phone and a little ambition. Mobile phone companies and third party companies make millions each year from selling ringtones- but for the technological geniuses of the world, money most spend on ringtones can go to better uses elsewhere.

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.

Often times before one can transfer a ringtone for free, they must first have access to the free ringtone in question. While many would pay for the ringtone to obtain it if their friends don't have it, many websites provide all types of free ringtones. Free websites that offer such ringtones may demand that surveys be completed in return, or even an offer investigated, but in effect the consumer gets the ringtone for absolutely no cost.

Some computer programs will allow free cell phone ringtones to be obtained as well. In this instance the consumer will need to have the music they want as a ringtone already in their library. By sectioning off a certain part of the song and converting it to the required format, one can obtain a ringtone from their own library for absolutely no cost. With a little searching, such programs can be found for free as well.

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."

In Conclusion

There are so many venues for free ringtones that it is ridiculous to pay for such trivial things. By following the mentioned steps, Internet users and normal consumers can get their hands on free ringtones of every size, quality, and length- just be sure it's legal and no hidden fees apply to the transaction.
