Q:
|
Which ring tones can I download to my phone?
|
|
A:
|
Check the specifications for your phone on the web site of your carrier or the phone manufacturer. To download polyphonic ring tones, your phone should support a MIDI or .mid format. For true tone ring tones, your phone should support MP3, WAV, AAC/AAC+ or AMR formats. Typically phone specs will list phones capable of polyphonic ringers and/or real music ringers which are the same as true tone ringtones. If you receive a message on your phone stating the device is not supported then your phone does not support that particular ringtone format.
