Other Phones

Most smartphones can play MP3 files as ringtones.  The process for downloading and installing ringtones to a smartphone may vary greatly based on phone, operating system, and service provider.  Check your phone’s user manual or your provider’s website.  Download a ringtone (MP3 format).

Some providers may limit your access to ringtones not sold through their site.  You can still enjoy the MP3s on your computer!
