Maroof, You can send mono ringtones with Kannel, you just need to figure out how to convert it to the formats each phone uses. Most popular formats are SCKL, SmartMessaging, EMS, iMelody/eMelody and RTTL (not necessarily on that order). Some phones support many of them, Nokias usually support SCKL and/or SmartMessaging. Motorolas and Sony Ericsson usually support EMS. Some support only reduced versions (Some low-end Alcatels only support EMS less than 128 bytes long, for example).
I'd recommend you to use ringtonetooks, an open source command line utility to convert to most popular sound and image formats. Hope that's enough to get you on the right path, we're getting off-topic already.
