Need to know how to get free ringtones? Every cell phone has different ringtones built in, but among the different options, many of them sound cheesy. Thankfully, cell phone users have the option to hear their favorite songs whenever the phone rings, and even switch different tunes, but these songs come with a price if you purchase them through your phone carrier. Save yourself some money by learning how to get free ringtones sent to your phone.

  1. Join a free-ringtone website. A simple internet search will reveal a number of websites where you can get free ringtones sent to your phone. To join these sites, you need to register with your name and email address.
  2. Search for your phone carrier. After becoming a registered member of the site of your choice, select which phone carrier you use, the name of the phone's manufacturer and your ten digit mobile number to get your ringtones. After selecting the carrier and manufacturer, you will see different models of phones, so choose the one that is yours. If you do not see your phone model, there may be a "phone model not listed" option. When you are done, verify this information.
  3. Browse for free ringtones. Different websites may have different procedures for acquiring ringtones. Some will send a text message to your phone, and you will need to enter a verification code. Follow whatever instructions you received from the website you chose. Within seconds, you will receive your free ringtone by either downloading the link through your phone or typing in the ringtone link through your internet browser. When done, you can use your new ringtone.

Note that although there are sites that will not bill you for downloading a ringtone, your phone carrier will charge you for text messages sent to your phone.
