If you download many ring tones I am sure you already know that it can quickly add up. Even for people who only occasionally download them it can still be a minor annoyance. So, some rather genius websites have sprung up recently that offer to combine two of people's favorite things: ring tones and free stuff. Thus, I am sure you have probably seen many websites offering free ring tones, but you are probably unsure if they are the real deal or not.

Like most things in life that seem too good to be true, free ring tones are, but that does not mean all free ring tone offers are created equal. However, before I explain any farther I should clarify one very import point about ring tone deals offered in the United States. Due to recent legal cases in the US, most websites no longer use the term free, when advertising ring tone offers. Instead they will use the term bonus or complimentary ring tones instead. You should however be aware that any websites claiming to give "free ring tones", "bonus ring tones" or "complimentary ring tones" are all essentially offering the same thing.

For the vast majority of these websites you will only be able to get your "free" ring tone" after you sing-up (often unknowingly) for some sort of subscription service for your cell phone. You will then be charged a monthly fee to get "free" bonus content," most often more ring tones. In some cases these deals can actually be good for people who want to download a lot of ring tones to their phone. The problem is most people don't want or need to download 10 or 20 ring tones per month. Thus, you end paying for a service you don't need.

There may be some good news though if you are looking to download free ring tones from the internet. Some of the services will give you a free trial period before they will start charging you. In theory then, you could download the ring tones and then cancel your service before you have paid a cent to the company. However, I would be extremely cautious if you try to do this because these companies are not known as being the most straightforward operators. I personally think it is a little too risky but if you want to try it you may be able to get a bunch of ring tones for free.

Therefore, getting free ring tones is possible, at least in theory, but probably not a good idea in practice. Websites claiming to offer free, bonus or complimentary ring tones are more often than not misleading, since they try to get you to sign up for a monthly service you probably don't want without telling you explicitly. Exercise caution and you will save yourself many headaches in the long run.
