If you want to download free ringtones I assure you that you don’t have to go very far to do it. There are numerous websites on the internet advertising exactly this service. However after a little investigation I discovered this process what not quite as simple as it looked at first glance.
First of all apparently there are three different types of ringtones you can download; realtones, monophonic tone, and polyphonic tones. Maybe you are lucky enough to know what this means at first glance but I assure I do not. I decided to investigate and see what the site would tell me to gd when I picked a song. I did so and then had to indicate which country I was from as the process is apparently different depending on where you live. After that I received a message that said “After you complete the transaction, you will receive and SMS. Just go to the specified WAP address and you can download the item straight to your phone. Please make sure your phone is WAP enabled”. Now this message makes I sound like this is a simple process however as I do not know what an SMS is or a WAP address is, I was slightly confused, and all this to download free ringtones.
Now I did a little looking around and it seems as though WAP is a browser on your phone where you can type in web addresses and ringtone codes given you have the WAP code for downloading the free ringtones.
This all seems a little like Greek tome and I find it amazing that an entire language has developed revolving around ringtones. You expect it for computers do to the complexity of them and their importance in everyday life, but for ringtones? They are really so important to the functioning of society that people have spent lord only knows how much time developing and entire system so people can make their phones ring with whatever song they want.
