Legally Free Ring Tones
You can find free, legal ring tones online and not have to pay a cent for them. Unlike some services charging you a per download free or ring tone club subscription charges, there are sites online that will allow you to snag ring tones for free. Is there a catch? In many cases there are. However, by following these simple rules you can still get what you want and not give up the house in the process. Ring tones are free, at least that is what the site says. A precaution, be careful what you download as it could put a bunch of spyware on your computer. While most spyware is simply annoying, some of it could be harmful to your computer, even causing you to give up vital information about yourself in exchange for a free tune.
When visiting any free site, the one thing you’ll probably have to deal with is a bunch of annoying pop up ads. If you use Firefox, most pop ups and pop unders are automatically blocked. However, if you use Internet Explorer you can expect to have to battle pop ups on each site that you visit. Other sites are a little cleaner and the webmasters only hope that you click on one or more of their pay per click ads before downloading a song. Most of these ads are quite decent as they will point to other sites offering ring tone information and downloads. If something appeals to you, by all means give it a click. Not all sites are based in the US, making it possible that someone outside of the US could be trying to rip you off. This doesn’t mean that foreign sites are automatically problematic, but they could be. If you deal with a foreign site, don’t expect anyone in the US to come to your rescue. Never give out more information about yourself than what is necessary. No passwords, no home addresses, and certainly not your social security number. If you do, then you can expect that your personal information will be sold to the highest bidder. Congratulations: someone stole your identity! Try getting back too: a quickie mistake on your part could result in years of headaches if you act before thinking. So, enjoy your search for free ring tones because there are plenty of sites out there. Just remember: so of the “freebie” sites may cost you more in the long run if you aren’t careful! |
