Polyphonic Ringtones:

What is a ringtone?
A ringtone is the sound file that plays when your mobile phone rings when you receive a call. All phones come with at least one pre-programmed ringtone and many come with a built-in selection. You can find these ringtones by going to the menu button on your mobile phone. Most mobile phones can also receive new ringtones and save them on the phone. (See compatibility list to check if your phone supports ringtones.) You can add new ringtones to personalise your phone and make you stand out in a crowd. You can change you ringtone as often as you like and on many newer phones you can store multiple ringtones.

What is the difference between a standard ringtone and a polyphonic ringtone?
A standard ringtone is also known as a monotone ringtone. This is the original single tone that started the craze of ringtones…like the Nokia tone! A polyphonic ringtone sounds richer and closer to the song’s tune because it has additional “voices”/instruments. A monotone ringtone is delivered directly to the user’s phone via SMS. A polyphonic ringtone must be downloaded from our server via WAP, but the process is very easy and quick. Specific phones take polyphonic ringtones, where as nearly all Nokia phones take monotone ringtones.

Is my network compatible?
We can send items to most GSM networks around the world. However, you should always check that your Nokia phone is compatible first even if you are on a GSM network. It is important to check the compatibility list before you buy because some Nokia phones can only receive operator logos, some can only receive ringtones and others can only receive picture messages. Certain older phones can not receive any of these items! If you have any specific questions about your handset or it is not on our compatibility list, you should contact your phone supplier or Nokia directly.
