Welcome to the second part of this two part series on ways to get free ringtones for your cell phone. In this section I explain using the internet to find ringtones and what to watch out for.

There is one final way to find free cell phone ringtones if the tactics in the first part of the article are not available to you. Simply use the internet. Just do a search on Google or any other leading search engine for free ringtones. I know you will find many results but there are a few things to be careful about before using this method.

The first thing to make sure about is whether or not the website you are using is legal or not. There are many websites claiming to away free ringtones but they may be doing so illegally so be careful, because you may get in trouble with the law for using such a service. Also, some of these sites will attempt to install Spyware or Adware when you download the ringtones. Thus, I strongly discourage you from using these for that reason but I can't tell you what to do, so it is up to you to decide.

However, there is a second kind of website that you should also be extremely careful about. These websites claim to offer free, bonus or complimentary ringtones and are on the whole legitimate services. However, when you sign-up for the free ringtones you will usually also be signed up for some form of monthly service, billed to your monthly cell phone bill. If you download a lot of ringtones, these services can actually be a good deal. For the rest of you they probably aren't, so be careful.

Some of them will let you cancel before you actually have to pay anything. Thus, you can sometimes download the ringtones and then cancel the service without paying anything. However, not all service will allow you to do this so read the fine print and ask about anything you are not sure of before paying anything.

One final word of caution, many websites offering free ringtones are aimed at children. This has lead to laws do not allow ringtone download sites to use the word free in their advertising. Instead they use terms such "bonus ringtone" or "complimentary ringtone." Let your children know that these websites may not be legitimate and to ask you before downloading anything, and of course keep that in mind for yourself too.

Well I think that about sums up the most common and easiest ways to get free ringtones. As I showed there are many ways to get free ringtones, but each of them may only work for specific kinds of people. Just be sure to do your homework before signing-up for any ringtone offer be it through, a cell phone company, third party promotion or the internet.
