Download Free Ringtones Via Bluetooth
Below is a detailed article on how to download free ringtones via bluetooth directly to your mobile phone or wireless device.
Introduction
There are many ways to get free ringtones, but one of the most common ways are by using tools and software that are commonly available around you. The only tools and software that you require to download free ringtones via bluetooth is a bluetooth dongle and bluetooth enabled mobile phone. In the article, we will advise and guide you through how easy it actually is to save money on mobile ringtones and download them free via bluetooth.
Tools and Software
In order to download free ringtones via bluetooth, you will ideally need a bluetooth dongle (or bluetooth enabled PC). A bluetooth dongle is a small add-on that you can plug into a USB port; which will then allow you to send and receive files via bluetooth from you PC to a bluetooth enabled device (in our case, a mobile phone). Alternatively, in more modern computers you may already have such a device installed.
Bluetooth dongle's are really cheap to buy e.g. if you look on eBay you will usually find one for around £0.99 with a set postage and packaging of £4.0. The majority of bluetooth dongle's advertised come with a small installation disk. This disk will install and allow you to use the bluetooth drivers. This will then allow you to use the dongle.
You will also require a bluetooth enabled mobile phone. You can usually find out if your mobile/cell phone has bluetooth by visiting the 'Connectivity' or 'Connections' section/settings in your mobile phone. This obviously depends on make and model of mobile phone. If in doubt, consult your manual or manufacturers website. Once activated, you may see an icon like the one one the left.
Connectivity
Now that you have your bluetooth dongle inserted into your PC and you have installed the software, it is now time to 'pair' the bluetooth dongle and your mobile phone. Most commonly, you simply need to activate your bluetooth dongle on your PC and then on your mobile phone. When both devices are activated, use either your mobile phone or dongle to 'pair' the devices. This is when you search for other devices to connect too. Once you have searched and found the partner device e.g. either PC or mobile, you must now 'pair' them. You usually just select 'Pair with Device' on the device found and it does the work for you.
Once paired, you will be able to transfer files from one device to another. You can test this by using your bluetooth software on your PC to explore your mobile phone device. It will commonly look like you are browsing a folder structure within your PC. If you simply drag and drop a image from your computer onto the software when browsing a mobile device, you will then see the transfer happen. Once complete, simply find the image on your mobile phone to ensure it has worked.
Transfer
Now that your mobile phone and bluetooth dongle are 'paired', you can now transfer files between your mobile and PC.
We are presuming that you already have a ringtone file to transfer e.g. an MP3 file. If you do not have a ringtone file to transfer, we suggest you read our article on how to create free MP3 ringtones or Right click and select Save as on this MP3 ringtone we pre paired earlier. Alternatively, try TheFreeSite for more free MP3 files.
Once you have created or found the MP3 file. The file could also be a MIDI file or any other music file supported by your mobile phone. Most formats of ringtone are MP3 or MIDI. Using the bluetooth software on your PC, browse and find a folder on your mobile phone where you would like to send and store your new free ringtone (this is usually in the folder Sounds or Files). Now simply drag-and-drop the file from your PC on to the folder structure on the bluetooth software. This is basically telling your bluetooth dongle to transfer the 'dropped' file from your PC onto the mobile/wireless device.
Once the transfer begins, you will more than likely see a transfer dialog box open with the status of the transfer or be required on your mobile phone to accept the incoming file. After the transfer is complete, you will have just transferred the MP3 ringtone file from your PC to your mobile phone via bluetooth at zero cost.
Testing Ringtone
Now that the MP3 ringtone is transferred to your mobile phone, you will now need to test it to ensure that the file was transferred correctly. Now using your mobile phone, find the suitable location you drag-and-dropped the MP3 ringtone file.
Once you located the ringtone file, select it using your mobile phone keypad. Your mobile phone should now play your new free ringtone or give you the option to play it.
It really is that simple! You now should have transferred your first free mobile ringtone from your PC to your mobile via bluetooth technology.
Assigning
Now that you know where your new free ringtone is located within your mobile phone, you must now go into 'Profiles' (or similar) on your mobile phone and then find the section that allows you to change or customise your ringtone. Once located, change your ringtone to the file you transferred (it may be called jungle-boogie-ringtone).
Complete
You have now successfully transferred a MP3 ringtone file from your PC to your mobile phone free, and it is all thanks to schnozberry mobile.
Once you get used to doing it, you do not have to stop at one; you can now transfer as many as you want. But don't stop at mobile ringtones, you can also transfer mobile videos, wallpapers and all sorts of mobile downloads. The sky is the limit.
