Free Nextel Ring Tones

Free Nextel ring tones are available through data cable downloads of MP3/WAV files, for example. You can also use wireless web connection for the downloas. To use these services, your phone has to support the features.

Of the Nextel phones, at least i90 (software version R76.01.01 or higher), i95cl, i205, and i730 support polyphonic and monotonic ringtones.

As for the advanced ringers (WAV/MP3), you can use them in at least the following Nextel phones:

Nextel i710
Nextel i730
Nextel i733
Nextel i736
Nextel i830
Nextel i860

You should always test your phone before purchasing (you can test with free ringers before purchasing).

Nextel itself offers three ways to purchase additional ringers. For the first, you can purchase them directly from your phone for most of the ringtone phones.

These downloads go through the menu catalog. This option requires you to have a Nextel Online data service.

Another way is to purchase from the web at nextel.zingy.com. You can primarily download over-the-air or with a cable to the older cell phones. Downloading over-the-air requires a Nextel Online data service. Downloading with a cable requires that you own a cable and phone manager software.

Finally, you can visit your local Nextel store or authorized dealer and purchase a ring tone card. The card entitles you to download the ring tones listed on that card.

Free Nextel Ring Tones – Data Cables

Using data cables may be the safest bet to get free Nextel ring tones. Usually, these cables are serial or USB data cables, for easy installation.

To use the cable connection between the PC and the cell phone, you also need phone management software, which is not normally included in the cable package.

To get free ringers in polyphonic and MP3/WAV formats, see such web sites as nextpimp.com and nextelrepairs.com.

Once you have your cable connection working, you can use it to import ringer files from your PC to the cell phone. Or, use Bluetooth to send the files wirelessly.
