Wow! When I added ring tones from one of the apps a couple of years ago,
I
e-mailed them to my computer e-mail, open them and they went right into
the
tones area. Then I did a sync tones and every one of the tones I
selected
are still in my tones folder.
I recently bought about four tones from the store, easy as pie.
The unfortunate thing is that I set a tone for a particular contact and
it
works only some of the time and if it doesn't it reverts to the original
ring tone for the phone. I go in and check and the correct tone is
selected
on the contact and the next time they call it works but then another time
it
goes back to the marimba sound, which I don't even want to use because
everyone else does where I work and spend about 80% of my free time
lately,
the hospital.

friendly
ring tone app
Hi, you have to use iTunes to get the tones into the iPhone for use. So,
this app for example, has an entry in the file sharing section of iTunes.
To
get there, connect your phone to the PC, bring up iTunes, go to the
device
where it shows the name of your phone and the battery charge status. Tab
until you reach the apps button or tab. Press space to activate it. Now
you
are in the apps section of your phone. Now, keep tabbing until you get to
the list of file sharing apps. Once you reach this list, arrow down until
you get to the app which has the files you want to save. In this case,
look
for the ring tones app. When you reach it with down arrow, tab once and
you
will see the list of files it contains. If you've downloaded ring tones
prior to all this, they will be listed here. Using shift-down arrow,
select
all the ring tones you want to save to the computer and tab to the save
as
button. Press space to activate this button and a standard save as dialog
will open. You can press shift-tab to see the list of folders. Navigate
this
to choose which folder you want. I recommend a temp folder called ring
tones
on your desktop for starters. Giving you the steps on how to create
folders
and copying and pasting is a bit out of scope for this question, so I
hope
you feel comfortable in doing this. Once the tones are saved to the
folder
you want, close iTunes. The next step is for you to copy the ring tone
files
into the automatically add to itunes folder. Be sure to put just the
files
there, not the actual folder. Now when you restart iTunes, the ring tones
will automagically be added to the library. If you have your iPhone set
to
sync all ring tones, then they will all be added the next time you sync
your
phone. If this isn't set up that way, then you will have to tell your
phone
to sync all tones.

What is the easiest way to download tones, through the app or through
iTunes?
Once they are downloaded, where do they go and how do we get them on
the phone?

The following is a good source for cool ring tones. Once you download
them using the app they show up in the file sharing section of iTunes
when your phone is connected. You get 10 free downloads and adds. If
you upgrade to no ads then you also get unlimited downloads. The cost
for that is $1.99. Have fun.
