Nextel Ringtones

The Nextel ringtones service provides tunes from Pop to Rap and beyond, in association with Zingy, a major ringtone company. As Motorola makes the Nextel cell phones, you may already be familiar of the quality of the Nextel ringers available, if you’ve ever downloaded additional monotonic, polyphonic, or real music (MP3/WAV) ringers to a Motorola phone.

Instead of MP3, many Nextel phones use the WAV format, which has sound quality comparable to MP3.

However, at least the i710 and i860 phones support the Nextel ring tones MP3 format, which means you don't have to convert the available MP3 ringers to WAV format with these phones.

For WAV format, the method by which many get their free Nextel WAV ringers is to convert the available MP3 ringers to WAV format.

There are several Nextel cell phones that support advanced Nextel WAV ring tones, including:

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

When you download ringers wirelessly, you can browse tunes in the following categories of Nextel ringtones:

Pop
Rock
Rap/R&B
Classical
Oldies
Country
TV/Movie tunes
Folk songs/Patriotic
Holiday tunes
Sound effects

When you upload applications to these phones, your maximum is limited by available memory. Therefore, you should be able to get at least 50 additional Nextel ringtones before you have to make space for new ones.

Using Your Cell Phone to Download Nextel Ringtones

To get the ringtones from the Nextel/Zingy service to your phone, you need to download them. The most popular way of doing this is using the Nextel NetAlert technology and subscribing to the Nextel wireless web plan.

To find Nextel ringtones, see nextel.zingy.com.

The price of the ringtones is not included in the wireless web plan, and you have to pay extra to download the Nextel ringers.

The price varies depending on the type of ringtone you download. The prices are comparable to those of other cell phone companies.

In addition, the company has ongoing promotions for ringers with lower prices.
