Too Cool for Words: a Free US Cellular Ringtone

If you do a little bit of research (like reading this article!) it becomes a very simple thing to find a free US cellular ringtone. But first, why would you want one anyways, other than the fact that it would be free? Good question.

Getting a free ringtone is actually quite easy to do if you live in the United States - since most free ringtone offers are only available here. There are a few international offers and companies, but in this author's experience your best bet is a US company for a freebie. Why is this? Because chances are if you live in the United States, you're more than likely interested in getting ringtones from artists popular in the states. Local companies are more likely to have what you're looking for, whereas international companies might not have as good of a selection when it comes to American artists and bands.

Getting a free ringtone is a great idea because it allows you to test out the company that you're getting the free ringtone from - that way you'll know if you'd like to purchase more ringtones from them in the future. Chances are if they provide you with a good, high quality ringtone for free as a "test run" of sorts, you'll be more likely to use them again in the future. Makes sense, doesn't it?

The first thing you're going to want to check is whether or not your carrier (phone service provider) is supported by the ringtone offer - such as Cingular, Verizon, T-Mobil, etc. Then make sure your phone is capable of playing realtones, otherwise known as truetones or mp3 ringtones. If your phone is properly advanced enough to do so, make sure that the brand of phone you have is applicable to the ringtone offer. Once you've confirmed that all these things are good to go, then you're all set. It's time to get your free US ringtone!

Things you'll want to look for after receiving your free ringtone are the basics of what makes a ringtone good. How does it sound? Is it of high quality? Does it work properly on your phone? If you followed the basic procedure of entering your number, getting a PIN via SMS, and then entering the PIN, how easy was this process? How quickly was the PIN sent via SMS? Once you found and selected the ringtone you wanted, was it quickly sent to your phone, or did it take ages? Was your phone supported on the site with technical support information or a FAQ (frequently asked questions) page available? What was the customer service like, if any? These are all good questions to ask, because you want to be sure you like the company before you start buying other ringtones from them.

Getting a free ringtone is a great way to test out a company before starting a long term ringtone-downloading relationship with them. So now that you're armed with the knowledge of how to get a free US cellular ringtone and why it's a good idea, go out and get your phone to start ringing the way you want it to!
