Nokia ringtones are probably the most popular ringtones online these days. The problem is that not all cell phones are compatible with the Nokia format. So what do you do if you have a cell phone that doesn’t support the Nokia ringtone format, but would like to take advantage of some of Nokia’s many popular ringtones?
In this article we will discuss an easy way to convert Nokia ringtones to other formats, so that they can be used by almost any cell phone on the market. Since there are more Nokia format ringtones than any other type, this will allow you to have a much wider selection of ringtones to choose from for your non-Nokia phone. OK lets start.
Step One – Every Nokia ringtone uses an RTTTL format string. You can download many of these Nokia RTTTL strings online by doing a simple search. Just search for the string that represents a specific ringtone you want to convert.
Step Two: Search online for “Uniring” universal ringtone converter. This handy little online software will convert almost any ringtone format to any other. When you arrive at the Uniring website, simply copy and paste the RTTTL string for the ringtone you’d like to convert into the large text box in the center of the page. Be very careful to make sure the RTTTL string does not contain any spaces; it must be copied exactly as is for it to work properly.
Step Three – Select a format you would like to convert the ringtone string to. There are many options here, so just choose the one that represents the type of cell phone you have.
Step Four – You will now receive a new code, which represents the Nokia ringtone you selected converted to your phone’s format. You will find full instructions on this page on how to install the new ringtone on your phone, or even transfer it via SMS.
And that’s all there is to it. Once the Nokia ringtone is converted to your phone’s format, you can use it as you would any other ringtone created for your phone.
TIP: Sometimes ringtones that are converted from the Nokia format to another phone’s format do not sound exactly the same. For this reason, it’s good practice to always try to convert three or four ringtones at once, in case some of them sound a little weird.
There are literally thousands of sites online where you can find cheap or even free Nokia ringtones. And because Nokia’s ringtone format is the most popular online, you’re sure to find just about any song or other ringtone you can think of if you search the Web carefully. Of course, other brands of ringtones are also available, and these too can be converted to your phone’s format just as easily as Nokia ringtones. This will give you a wide variety of ringtones to choose from for your non-Nokia phone.
Now that you know how to convert Nokia ringtones to any other format, it will be easy for you to find, install and experiment with many different ringtones for your phone.
