Where can I download T-Mobile ringtones?
T-Mobile customers can download ringtones from hundreds of independent websites, but many simply choose T-Mobile’s own ringtone website. This can be accessed through a personal computer and through the special “web2go” link on T-Mobile phones. Regardless of their data plans, T-Mobile phone users can browse the T-Mobile ringtone site and the rest of the company’s web2go store for free.
Some popular websites offering free T-Mobile ringtones include Mobiles24, Myxer, RingtoneJukebox, Ringophone, and Thumbplay. Browse carefully: some of these sites also sell ringtones through subscriptions and pay-per-download agreements.
What types of ringtones are available to T-Mobile users?
Many T-Mobile phones can handle all major types of ringtones – monophonic ringtones (simple tunes), polyphonic ringtones (high-quality synthesized music), and MP3 ringtones (actual music recordings). T-Mobile calls its polyphonic ringtones MegaTones® and its recordings of original artists are HiFi Ringers®.
In addition to downloading new ringtone files, most T-Mobile customers can download answer tones. These are songs that callers hear while waiting for the phone to be answered. T-Mobile has branded its answer tones as CallerTunes®.
Which ringtones will work on my phone?
To help avoid confusion, visitors to T-Mobile.com and other sites can refine a ringtone search to only show ringtones that are compatible with their specific phone model and plan.
Note that the SideKick can download ringtones from T-Mobile, but it may be unable to download ringtones from certain other websites.
How much do T-Mobile ringtones cost?
Many websites offer T-Mobile ringtones for free. However, depending on your cell phone plan, you might be charged for downloading a ringtone, just as you might be charged for downloading a photo sent via text message.
T-Mobile offers various mobile phone plans that include unlimited data transfers. This means that users won’t be charged an extra downloading fee for retrieving ringtones from a website. The BlackBerry Internet Service is one such plan; it costs $39.99/month and includes unlimited web browsing and emailing.
Among the paid ringtone options, T-Mobile MP3 ringtones generally cost $2.49 on the T-Mobile site. MegaTones cost $1.99 each. CallerTunes® are a much cheaper option; T-Mobile users can store up to 15 answer tones at a time for $1.49/month.
T-Mobile and other websites may sometimes sell ringtones for less, and many websites regularly sell ringtones for just 99 cents. People who plan to download multiple ringtones might benefit from a package deal. Some deals to check out include:
- Ringophone. This site offers two packages with unlimited T-Mobile downloads: $14.99 for six months or $19.99 for a year.
- Thumbplay. Thumbplay has a catalog of 666,000 songs and offers unlimited T-Mobile ringtone downloads for $9.99/month.
How can I make T-Mobile ringtones?
It’s easy to make your own T-Mobile ringtones for free. The two main options include editing an audio file on your home computer and editing an audio file online.
1) Make ringtones with your own software To edit an audio file yourself, you’ll probably need to download editing software. Many programs are available as free downloads at FileBuzz and other shareware sites.
Once you’ve edited a song into a 20-30 second ringtone, you can transfer it from your computer to your mobile phone. Depending on your phone model, your file transfer options may include: BlueTooth device; text or email message; serial or USB cable; and/or memory card.
2) Make ringtones online Several of the websites listed above, such as Myxer and Mobiles24, let visitors make their own T-Mobile ringtones for free. Simply upload music from your own collection, link to an audio file from YouTube, or choose from the ringtone website’s collection of material uploaded by other users. Then edit the audio file into a personalized ringtone. To transfer the file to your T-Mobile phone, enter your phone number and your phone model when prompted by the website.
