Hi Billy, If you Google something like "Redownloading ringtones purchased from iTunes" you will find forum discussions which seem to indicate that for some reason and unlike apps, ringtones cannot be downloaded again. I would, however, write an email to iTunes Store support and simply explain that you are upgrading your phone, that you purchased ringtones and that you are not using iTunes because you have an older computer and screenreader. Ask them if there is a way to get your ringtones back. The email address is as follows:

Thanks again and sorry about not being clear. Billy Maynard P.S. I didn't have any music on it just was curious. as to what I might need to do if I dp put music on the 6+ if I upgrade in 2 years. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sieghard Weitzel" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 1:14 AM Subject: RE: switching iPhone If you have custom ringtones on your 4S and they were not purchased from iTunes you must have used iTunes at one point since that is the only way to get ringtones onto an iPhone. You would have to have these ringtones in your iTunes library on the computer or at least have them somewhere so you can add them again to iTunes and then sync then to your phone. If you have music on your existing phone you could sign up for iTunes Match, this would upload all your music to your iCloud account (it does not count against your 5 Gb free storage) and then you can in turn download the music again to your new phone. If you don't want to do that and if you don't have the music on your computer so you can sync it again, the only way to get it off your 4S is with a program like Copy Trans which incidently costs just as much as a one-year iTunes Match subscription and is not the most accessible. Apple may have done things and continues to do things to make it easier to manage your iDevice without a computer and iTunes, but if you want to take full advantage of your phone nothing beats syncing with and backing up to iTunes using the encrypted backup option.
