Nokia RingtonesNokia’s ringtone is one of the most recognizable sounds on the planet. It’s also a sound many Nokia owners want to replace. Sure, you could opt for the Nokia Samba ringtone, which also comes standard with Nokia phones, or you could try something a little more original. So, how do you go about replacing Nokia ringtones? It’s easier than you can imagine.What Kind Can You Handle? Before you start downloading, you need to understand what to look for. There are three types of Nokia ringtones – monophonic (one note at a time, very limited combinations), polyphonic (digital-sounding, up to sixteen notes at once) and MP3, or real tones. All cell phones are capable of spewing out monophonic tones. Most phones can handle polyphonic Nokia ringtones. Some newer phones are also capable of ringing out MP3 sounds. Find out your compatibility at the 3GforFree website. Click “Compatibility List”, located along the left side of the page then choose your provider. Scroll down to your phone model and find which kinds of Nokia ringtones your phone will accept. There is no charge for this service and you are not required to input any personal information, including cell phone number. Free Nokia Ringtone Downloads 3GforFree is not just a compatibility tool, it is also a free Nokia ringtone provider. Free ringtone downloads for Nokia phones can also be found at the Ringtones4All or CoolFreeRingtones websites. You can also search online for a specific song or artist using your favorite search engine. Type “free Nokia SONG OR ARTIST ringtone”, in quotes, replacing SONG OR ARTIST with your preference. If you are looking for, say, a Trace Adkins ringtone, you would type “free Nokia Trace Adkins ringtone”. Be careful when downloading from unfamiliar websites and always scan your download before using it. Some less-reputable website owners hide spyware or even more damaging viruses in with ringtone downloads. Others require you to join their monthly-fee programs or subject yourself to excessive contacts by telemarketers to receive mobile ringtones for free. Specialty Of Nokia Ringtone Some new Nokia phones come with specialty ringtones. The Nokia 8800 ringtone was composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto to match the very upscale look and feel of the phone. Troubleshooting Nokia Ringtones Some Nokia owners have had problems loading ringtones onto their phones. Two such phones are the 6265i and the 6061 models. The Nokia 6265i invalid file ringtone error message can be fixed by downloading and installing Nokia Diego software, located at the Xphilez website. You can download it for free once you register at the site. Once you’ve installed the Diego software, open the phone settings on your computer, then choose Ringtone Settings, then change the option from 1 to 0. Write the settings back to your phone. You should now be able to load MP3 and other ringtone sounds onto your phone. The Nokia 6061 needs a cable to download ringtones. You can easily find Nokia 6061 ringtone download cables at your Nokia phone dealer or online at eBay. Make Your Own Nokia Ringtones Almost all Nokia phones have a feature called Composer. Simply open your Nokia ringtone composer and start punching your keys to make a sound you like. Save the sound then go to your ringtone setting and set it as your default.
