A survey in the UK shows that of the people that changed ringtones in the last three months only 13% were dumb enough to pay for them. [via ringtonia]
I’d love to see this figure drop down to an even lower number. Most people seem to think that just because the ringtone providers advertise a lot that it’s the only way to get a ringtone onto your phone.

It used to be that the only easy way to get a ringtone onto your phone was to pay someone to send it to you.

With modern cell phones it’s now quite easy to transfer all sorts of files to your phone.

My new Motorola V6 Maxx came with a USB cable and some software that makes it almost as easy as copying music onto an MP3 player.

Check the book that came with your phone and find out if you can choose your own MP3′s as ringtones

I’m sick of seeing ads on TV offering membership to ringtone clubs. If you’ve got bad eyes or a small screen you won’t realise that some of these places are charging $24 a week.

It’s crap, I’m fortunate that with my new phone I can download any MP3 via a USB cable and use it as a ringtone.
