If you are searching for ringtones for a Samsung mobile phone then your first port of call should be the official Samsung website. You can register your Samsung mobile phone and join the Samsung Fun Club for free. This will entitle you to 300 free points which you can then use to download free content for your phone. There are wallpapers, software options, games, video content and a wide range of ringtones available.

To find ringtones on the Samsung website just enter your phone model and check the list of Member Tones. You can play them on your PC to preview and the points cost is listed next to the ringtone, the majority of them cost 20 points so you’ll be able to download 15 with your free points.

If you are unimpressed with the ringtones on offer here then you might prefer to download a song. You can get all the latest releases as ringtones for a Samsung mobile. Simply type the name of the song you are looking for. You can also check out various charts at a glance including the Top Ten, Most Downloaded, New Tones, Dance Chart and All Time Greatest Hits. Each ringtone costs a small fee and unfortunately you can’t spend your points here so you will need to pay for these ringtones separately.

Sadly getting your hands on free ringtones is not as easy as it once was. Mobile phone manufacturers and service providers want to make money from selling you ringtones so if you want to load free ringtones onto your phone you may need to take a more roundabout route. The most expensive option is to pay for individual ringtones but there are lots of alternatives.

The Ringophone website stocks over 250,000 ringtones and you can download as many as you want for a fixed period of six or twelve months. For six months of unlimited ringtone downloads they charge $19.99 and for twelve months the fee is $29.99. This soon becomes worthwhile if you change your ringtone frequently.

There are lots of websites offering ringtones which you can download easily to your phone but they charge a fee for each individual ringtone. A couple of the most popular websites are Myxer and RingToneJukeBox but each ringtone will cost you between $0.99 and $2.99. Both websites occasionally offer free content.

There are a large number of websites out there who claim to have free ringtones for a Samsung mobile phone but in actual fact they have very little or no free content at all. Some of these services are really unscrupulous about the tactics they use to get you signed up and the cost of ringtones varies wildly. There are also several ringtone websites which essentially serve as gigantic adverts and navigating around in search of the promised free ringtones is a trial you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

If you would prefer to just load your own songs onto your mobile phone and then use them as ringtones you can usually find a way to do this. For Samsung mobile phones you can use the Infrared adapter and phone management software to load tracks from your PC or Mac onto your phone. You could also use wireless or Bluetooth connectivity to transfer files or hook up your phone with the cable provided and just drag and drop files. The User Guide supplied with your phone will generally give you details on how to transfer files. You should always check what audio formats your phone supports before you begin. Make sure the files that you download onto the phone are in the correct format (for example mp3 rather than mp4) or they won’t work at all.

There are lots of options to get ringtones for a Samsung mobile phone and the method you choose really comes down to that age old balance between cost and convenience.
