Are you the kind of person that hates paying for something when you can get it at no cost with a little research? This includes the cell phone ringtones we all hear and love. Did you know that you have the ability to edit any song you want in your collection for the really low price of nothing? You don’t have to pay a single dime to get this service. You not only choose the audio file that piques your interest as a ringtone but what section of it you want to hear when your phone rings. This means you don’t have to worry with those goofy ringtones your used cell phones has that won’t even let you get the part of the song you want.

Where do you Start?

First, you need to sign up for PhoneZoo. It’s a very quick and easy process that involves following some simple directions. The most important part is to be sure that you enter your cell phone number correctly. If there is one mistake on the number, you may end up sending ringtones to someone else’s phone.

Upload Your Audio File

The site has a pretty big selection of ringtones that others have uploaded that you can choose from, but you can also upload your favorite audio file and create your own custom ringtone. Once uploaded, the online audio editor will guide you through choosing which section of the audio file you want to retain and become your ringtone. Remember, you’re not just limited to songs either. Any audio file will do, so get creative with your ringtone choices! Just keep in mind that there is a 15MB file size limit to each upload, but most audio files rarely exceed this size.

How Will It Be Delivered

In general, you can get those ringtones on your used Verizon phones without too much of a problem. While you may not have current Internet access on that refurbished cell phone, you can use Bluetooth technology between your computer and phone to get your ringtone on your phone. You can also get it by connecting the cell phone directly into your computer/laptop by way of a USB cord. If you need further help with this, be sure you check out the help section on the PhoneZoo site and/or the user manual for your particular phone model.

Setting Up Your Custom Ringtone

Now, it’s time to set up or install your ringtone. Since the set up varies among phones and service providers, be sure to consult your instruction manual for specific instructions related to your model. Most phones have options that allow you to use the ringtone for all incoming calls or for individual contacts.
