Nextel cell phones support ring tones in both MP3 and polyphonic file formats. Many files are available online for free, but you want to make sure the sites are safe. Most popular music is trademarked and won't be available on safe sites for free. Avoid those that have big advertisements for free ring tones with popular artists and make sure to read the fine print, especially any site that asks for your phone number. These sites are generally signing you up for a service with a monthly charge and then giving you additional free downloads. Most free ring tone sites simply download the tune to your computer and you plug in your phone and install it.
Instructions
1. Create a file on your desktop or someplace where you will be able to easily locate it and label it for your downloads. This will allow you to add and remove ring tones from your phone with ease, without taking up too much memory space on the phone. Name it something easy like "Ringtones."
2. Go to mobile9.com and click on the "Gallery" tab across the top of the page. This site is specific for the Nokia phone models, so all of the ring tones you download should be compatible with your phone. After clicking on "Gallery," you will be redirected to the "Mobile Downloads" page.
3. Select your phone model from the drop-down menu in the highlighted blue tool bar and choose ring tones as the category. Then click "Go." You will be taken to a results page that is specific for your model phone.
4. Choose a category from the tag lines listed at the top of the page. There are thousands of results for each phone model, so choosing a tag will help you find what you are most interested in.
5. Click on the ring tone of your choice and wait for the page to load. Click on the preview box, to listen to a preview of your download, and then click on the large green download button on the right side of the page. Wait for the download to finish. It will automatically pop up and start playing in your default music player.
6. Plug your Nextel phone into your computer and then download it from your PC to your device's music file. This process will vary based on your model phone but should be very straightforward once the phone is hooked up. Let the download run and then unplug the phone and set the tone as your default. Now your tone will play every time someone calls.
