Cell Phone Ring Tones - Convert Your Own Ring Tones

Isn't it amazing that a simple thing such as a cell phone can turn out to be utilized, among other things, as a sophisticated entertainment console, a digital camera and fashion accessory?

Cell phone manufacturers originally certainly did not consider adding sophisticated features such as polyphonic ring tones, customized wallpapers and logos and digital camera capabilities, however, as time went by and they realized that they had to add these new features to phones to gain and keep the competitive edge, they have started to build in more and more functionality into their phones.

Growing alongside this phenomenon is the rise of software and gadgets that assist in the management of cell phone ring tones, wallpapers and games. One such example is the cellular phone ring tone converter that assists with downloading ring tones from the Internet, and also with transferring ring tones from one phone to the other.

The transfer of ring tones via SMS is also possible although the newest versions of ring tone converter programs boast that they do not require SMS to transfer the ringtones to your cell phone.

So how do ring tone converters work?

Ring tone converters can be either downloaded from the Internet as a free trial from the popular software download site - Download.com, or bought commercially (look for Coding Workshop Ring Tone Converter). You can also make use of some free utilities on the Internet itself such as Uniring. This will convert any Nokia (NokRing) or RTTTL format ring tone into the format used by your specific cell phone.

So let's take a closer look at the converter process itself.

For the scenario where you have music or songs on your PC in one of the following formats - WAV, MP3, MMF, AMR, QCP, you can use the converter that is available from Download.com to convert into ring tone format.

Apart from that, your can also use the free service of Uniring to convert from NokRing or RTTTL, or some of the more sophisticated software packages that run on your PC (look for the CodingWorkshop Ringtone Converter) to convert any piece of music and export to one of the following formats: Nokring, eMelody V1.0 (.emy), iMelody V1.2 (.imy), RTTTL, My Melody, Kyocera (.kws), Samsung PCLink (.amf), Motorola binary (*.vrt), Nokia binary, wave (.wav), Smaf (.mmf) and Midi (.mid) file formats.

To get the ring tone downloaded into your phone very much depends on the technical capability of your phone. These phones all have different technologies for entering ring tones into the phone. Some allow you to enter the melody in through keying in the ring tone directly into the phone, others allow the download of the ringtone through SMS, and with others you might have to connect to your PC through a data cable.

There is a plethora of options available today, but if all this technology and messing about with ring tone converters are all a bit much, it might be easier just to do a ringtone download from one of the thousands of sites on the Internet offering that service, such as my site www.cellringtones.co.za
