Sending Ringtones

[sparky0904]

Trying to send a ringtone to someone using SMS, is this possible using normal Free SMS services or is a ringtone a special SMS. Also how do i create the ringtone, is it all the characters for the diff notes, etc.

Cheers,

Hello :D

A ringtone SMS is a specially formed SMS message - it is sent differently to a normal text message.

A ringtone sent to a nokia is formulated of RTTTL. All you need to know will be on www.google.com

You can send RTTTL free using CBFMobiles "Ringtone Converter" - no other SMS site required!!!

Hi

I was actually pointing you to google to search for information about forming RTTTL, try "about rtttl" or "free rtttl ringtones" etc.

If you put the RTTTL on your site with a link to us, people can come here and convert it so they can send it to their phone. This is what I would recommend. You could also host monophonic midi files that people could download and then convert here.

A lot of people forget that actually sending out ringtones costs money. If you want to implement your own sending system, you have financial backing and you have plans of what you want, try contacting CardBoardFish via http://www.cbfsms.com/buy.htm

I hope this information helps, good luck.

Yes i have backing just need to establish a method of getting the ringtone, graphic, etc to the user.

I have a lot of ino of the nokia site whihc details the SMS 3.0 Spec which helps.

What can CBF offer as the link does not detail much info.

Hi,

You need to use the form to tell them what it is you want - they'll tell you what they can do and how much it will cost.
