Creating ringtones can be a fun and rewarding task. Not only can you choose your favorite song to hear whenever someone calls you, but you get to do so for free! Here are some steps to take when creating your first ringtone:

1. Know what song or sound clip you want to use
2. Limit the length of the clip to 30 seconds or less. This is important because most phones do not recognize clips over 30 seconds as ringtones and will not give you the option of assigning them as ringers! It may be necessary to cut the song down to the 30 second segment you wish to use.
3. Research what sound file format your phone uses for its ringtones. There are many audio file formats around today. They include mp3s, wavs, midis, and many others. Read your phone’s manual or check online to see which format your phone recognizes as a ringtone. If your sound file is not in the proper format, search online for a converter.
4. Upload the ringtone to your phone. There are numerous methods to upload your new ringtone to your phone. The easiest would be to use the USB cable designed for your particular phone in order to connect it to your PC. Use the software provided with your phone or explore your phones SD card once your computer detects the connection and place your ringtone in the proper location. Another option is to use one of the numerous ringtone upload sites on the internet. These sites allow you to text yourself a link and download the ringtone directly from your phone. Be weary of this method however because some sites may have hidden charges and if you do not have a data plan for your phone, you may be slapped with a hefty bill!
5. There you have it! Enjoy listening to your favorite tunes when your friends call!

Some phones may differ in how to upload the ringtone, but usually this can be overcome by reading the instructions to the phone. Another great way is to do a search on Google for your model of phone to see if there is any specific format or procedure you must do in order to enable the ringtone. Follow these instructions on how to make a ringtone, and you will be able to build your own cool customized sounds when friends call.
