COMPOSING RINGTONES
There is nothing that instantly improves the credibility of your mobile than a funky ringtone. Even if you prefer texting to chatting on the phone, you still need a cool ring tone just in case someone calls. Most of the tones already programmed in to your phone are dull and far too common - there's nothing sadder than having the same tune as everyone else. So what you need is your own personal tone, something that says it's yours, or reminds you of someone special.

Having your own tunes also helps you to pick out your own ringtone from all the others when you're in a crowded place. Just imagine how funny It is when you're in a bus and suddenly a phone rings and everyone else inside with a mobile picks up their own phone thinking that it's theirs that's ringing.

There are loads of tunes to choose from, whether you want your favorite chart hit or the theme from an old television show. If you are feeling creative, you can even compose your own ring tones. Most new phones will let you program-in a tune to use as your ring tone. It isn't difficult, you just need to know the right buttons to press.



1.
To create your own tune, first go to the Tones section in your phone's menu. Select Composer, and you will be able to enter your new melody. (Unfortunately, not all models of Nokia have a composer available in the menu, but you can receive ring tones and save it on the phone.) First, the number on your keypad each plays one musical note. Your phone will play each note back to you after it is entered.

            1    =    c                               5    =    g 
            2    =    d                               6    =   
            3    =    e                               7    =    b
            4    =    f                                
     0   
=    pause or rest. This is shown by the - sign  

2. Next, you need to adjust the tones to the right length. Press 8 to shorten a note or 9 to lengthen it. The standard length is ¼. In the inputting section which follows the duration is shown on the front of the note, so 8d indicates a d note with 1/16 duration. (Pressing and holding a key lengthens the note by half. This is indicated by a dot after the duration - e.g. 8.a)

3. Now you need to set the octave. This sound complicated, but it's actually quite simple once you've tried it a few times. Press *+ to set the octave for a new note. This is shown as a number after the note - e.g. e1, f1.

4. After the octave, it's time to change the pitch, which makes the note sharp. This is set by pressing the # key before the note - e.g. #f for f sharp. You can't set the pitch for notes e and b.

5. To edit the notes, move the cursor using the up and down buttons at the top of your mobile, or press the c button to delete the last note.

6. Once you have entered the notes, you need to set the Tempo. To do this, you just need to hit the Options menu and scroll down to Tempo. Press OK and you can choose the tempo.

7. Finally, as soon as you are happy with your tune, you can either save it or send it to a friend's phone, again using the Options menu.

 

Sending Ringtones 
You may also ask your friends to send you a ring tone. If one of your friend sends you a tune, a ringtone received message will be displayed on your screen. You can then play, save or delete the tune using the Options menu.

Assigning Ringtones 
You can also set your mobile to ring with different tones for different people. If it means something special to you, you might want to keep your newly programmed tune for your best friend or boyfriend. And if there's something you just can't stand who keeps pestering you with phone calls, you can set a different tone to ring so you'll know when not to answer it! Just hit the Options menu, go into your Phone Book and scroll down to Assign Tone. Hit assign, and you can choose a tone from the phone list.



1. To compose your own ring tone, scroll down to Setting, and hit Yes. From here, go to Edit Melody, and hit Yes again. You'll now be able to use your phone's keypad to enter your favorite tune.

            1    =    c,                                6    =    a
            2    =    d,                               7     =    b,
            3    =    e,                                  =    c+ (high c)
            4    =                                      =    d+ (high d)
            5    =    g,
            *    =    Rest. This will insert a pause or rest between notes. The rest will have a length of 1/8 and will be shown by a "p" sign on the screen.

2. Next, you need to choose the pitch - to make the note sharp, flat or normal pitch. Press the # key once to make the note sharp, twice to make it flat or three times for normal pitch.

3. After the pitch, it's time to set the octave. By pressing 0 you can get either higher or lower octave for the note. A note with a higher octave will have a plus sign in front of the note name.

4. Finally, the >> and << buttons on your mobile will let you scroll backwards and forwards within the tune. If you want to get to either the beginning or end of the tune, press and hold down the button.

5. This might look tricky but it's easy once you get started. If you make mistake, you can always delete the last note using the CLR button. If you've really messed up, press and hold the CLR button - it will delete the whole tune and you can start again.

Try practicing with different tunes until you find the one you're happy with. You can practice entering as many ringtones as you like, but some mobiles will only let you save one programmed tune and one tone you received from a friend. Check this out in your phone's instruction manual before you get started, or you might accidentally delete a ringtone you really wanted to keep.




1. To compose a new ringtone on Seimens mobiles, the first step is to select the Ringer option from your phone'' main Menu. Next, scroll down to Record Melody, and you can enter the tune of your choice. These are the instructions for C25 and S25 phones. When composing your own tune, each of the numbers in your phone's keypad will play a different musical note.

            1   =   c                                     5   =   g 
            2   =   d                                     6   =   a 
            3   =                                       7   =   h 
            4   =   f 
            0   =   rest. This will insert a short pause, which will be shown by a "P" sign.

2. Once you have entered a note, you'll need to set it to the right length. The duration is set by the time the note is held down. This will be shown in brackets after the note - e.g. (1/16).

3. Now it's time to set the octave, using the # button. The Octave is shown by the number after the note - e.g. C3.

4. You might need to change a note to a semitone. To do this, press the * button. If the note is a semitone, it will be shown by an "is" symbol between the note and the octave - e.g. Gis2. (On the C35 mobile, the * button sets the octave and the # symbol will change the note to a semitone.)

5. While you are inputting your tune, don't panic if you make mistake at any point, you can correct it using the Cancel button (<C).

6. Once you have entered your tone, you can either listen to it using the Playback option in your phone's menu, or save it.



1. To enter a new tune, select the Phone Setup option in your phone's menu, and scroll down to Edit Music Tone. This will allow you to compose your own ringtone. The first step in storing a funky new tune is to enter the notes. Each key on your phone's keypad will play a different musical note.

            1    =    c                                     5    =    g 
            2    =    d                                    6    =    a 
            3    =    e                                     7    =    b 
            4    =    f
   
         0    =    rest. This will insert a short pause into the tune, and will be shown on your phone's display as an 'R'.

2. The 9 key will let you change the pitch of the note. You can play either flat (F) or sharp (S) notes. To change the pitch of a note, move the cursor until it is in between the note and the number showing the length of the note and press 9. If you forget to move the cursor, and leave it anywhere else, it will change the pitch of all the notes.

3. Now you'll need to set the length of the note. Each note can be from 1 to 6. 1 is the shortest note length and 6 is the longest. To change the duration, move the cursor using the < and > keys until it is between the note and the duration indicator, and enter the number.

4. Once you've changed the duration of the note, you'll need to set the octave. First, make sure the cursor is sat on the note you want to change. Use the volume key to set the octave. The + key will move the note one octave higher, and the - key will move it one octave lower.

5. Next is the Tempo. This is the speed of the tune, and can vary between 1 (the slowest tempo) and 4 (the fastest tempo). The normal speed setting is 2. To change the tempo, press c to erase the normal speed setting (2) and then enter the tempo you want.

6. To move backwards and forwards on the screen, use the < and > keys. Hit and hold c to go back to the idle screen.

7. When you've finished keying-in the ringtone, go to the Options menu to play, save or erase the tune.

Ringtones Direct 
Some websites will send a ringtone directly to your phone in the same way as you would receive a normal SMS message. This can save you the hassle of keying-in a tune, but you might have to pay. If you can't persuade your parents to get their credit card out, some websites will send the tune for the cost of the phone call. Be careful though, as these calls are not cheap and will last between two and three minutes.
