Types of ringtones

• Real music ringtones - Real Music ringtones are the newest incarnation of the ringtone, capable of playing actual music, including the vocals and all accompaniment. Full Music ringtones can be found in MP3, WAV, QCP, or AMR formats.
• Polyphonic - A polyphonic ringtone is similar to a monophonic tone in that it can only play a tone-based copy of a song, however a polyphonic ringtone is capable of playing more complex music.
• Monophonic - This is the old type of ringtone, tones are only played one at time hence monophonic.

Where to download free ringtones

Free ringtones are harder to find that expected, escecially with US cellular carriers. However if you know where to search you'll be able to find 1000's of free download for your mobile phones.

How to download ringtones

Also you can make your own ringtone. What you'll need is a software to edit the music file to the right length. You'll only want it to ring for about 30 seconds, then connect the phone to the computer and put it under music folder, then go to music folder from your phone and click "assign to ringtone". That should do it or just ask the kid how he does it and not waste time one the internet.
