How to Get Ringtones on Your Android Phone
Without a ringtone, mobile phone is nothing more than a corpse. No matter how expensive smartphone you are using, if the ringtones are not good, your device will appear to be a cheap one. A lot of people build opinion about others just by noticing the ringtones of their cell phones. Imagine what sort of impression a bad tone would make, when you are on your first date.
Having the latest and decent ringtones is extremely important these days. Many people consider ringtones as nothing, but noise. Therefore, they keep their phones on vibration all the time. In this situation, you may receive a call when the phone is in pocket. But the device will give you no notification at all. The manufacturers have given many new dimensions to the Ringtone Settings. Now, you may set a tone at lower volume. Another nice feature is to get ringtone and vibration at the same time.
Android offers plenty of fine built-in ringtones, but everyone has the right to have his own choice. If you don’t like the entire list of the available ringtones in your Android phone, there is nothing to worry about. By just making a few simple moves, you can add your favourite ringtones to your mobile. The network providers do offer plenty of ringtones, but at a very high price. So, the best option is to download free ringtones to your computer, and then transfer them to the mobile phone.
