This is a short list fo ways to upload/download a ringtone to your mobile phone unit. There are plenty of ways actually, but most of the time, you will need a connection betwen your PC and your phone.

  • RS232 cable. The older phone untis use this cable to connect your PC to your phone. It’s a serial cable and can be had for Php150 to Php300 in Greenhills or other phone shops.
  • IR-to-PC cable. If your phone has an Infrared port, you can go get an IR-to-PC cable. It’s a little slow though.
  • Bluetooth. This is the latest option but still rarely used. You can buy a USB bluetooth dongle connected to your PC’s USB drive and just enable bluetooth connection on your phone. Radius is around 5 feet.
  • USB port. Some newer models of phones have a built-in USB port. pricey though.
  • Mobile Network. You mobile network company offers ringtones and other MMS items for a flat fee. You can subsribe to that to get the latest tones and downloads. MMS costs about Php5 to Php25 per download.
