How to Get Free Ringtones for the LG Cell Phones
1. Go to a website offering free ringtones for LG cell phones. A few that you might consider trying are Mobile 17, Coolfreeringtones.com and Mobiles24.com. Although most sites claim that they are giving away free ringtones, this is often just a ploy to get you to visit their site and they will often only give you the free ones once you've made a purchase. The only way to know whether a website is truly free is to try to download the ringtone and read all of the fine print to make sure there are no hidden fees.
2. Choose the ringtone that you want, then click on it. The website will then give you a URL for you to visit on your web-enabled phone along with a download ID. If you do not have a web-enabled cell phone then you will need to download the ringtone to your computer and sync it with your phone.
3. Enter the download ID in the website and click 'Download.'
4. Go to 'Menu,' then 'Ringtones' on your cell phone and find the ringtone you just downloaded. Select it, then choose 'Activate' to use it on your phone.

When you search for a game, a pop-menu appears where you input your phone information. Games include racing, adventure, shooting and puzzle games. An example of these games include the Dangerous Speed game, where you race against other drivers in a NASCAR-like arena. This site offers more than free games; it also offers free videos, ringtones and wallpaper.
Mobile Rated
Mobile Rated offers both games and applications for your mobile phone. Depending on the game, you receive either the full version or a trial download/demo. The latter types are only free for a certain period of time, and the game description indicates whether the game is a demo or not. Full version games may have ads. For example, the Ultimate Fighter shooting game is supported by ads, which you have to watch to play the game. Games on this site include adventure, classic arcade, shooting and trivia games.
Mobango
Mobango offers both free and paid games, so always read the descriptions before downloading any game. It offers demo, trial version, ad-supported and freeware games.

You can search the site for particular games using the search box located in the top right corner.
Tips and Warnings
To determine if a freeware site is reputable, do a quick Internet search on the website. Usually, if the site is an attack site, someone will have posted a warning about it. The best way to determine if a site is an attack site is to use your installed anti-virus software. Anti-virus software programs usually have a website search component that will let you know if a site is trusted (green check mark next to the link) or not trusted (red X next to the link). If the site information is unknown, you may see a yellow box with a exclamation point next to the link.

SMS Messenger Client
1. Establish a Wi-Fi connection if your device does not already have one. Connect to the wireless Internet signal in your home, Wi-Fi hotspot or other high-speed local network. Your online SMS messenger will use this connection instead of a standard telephone line to transfer the SMS note to your iPhone recipient.
2. Sign up for an SMS messaging account with an online provider if you would rather personalize your messaging or attach it to a permanent line. Try Google Voice or Skype if you do not have an SMS messaging provider in mind (see Resources). Google Voice provides free SMS for Wi-Fi users in the continental United States. Skype charges for SMS, but may still be worthwhile for a loyal user's Wi-Fi-enabled device. Download and install any necessary applications for handheld devices such as cell phones and smartphones if you do not intend to use the Wi-Fi SMS from a computer.
3. Enter the iPhone telephone number to which you want to send an SMS message. Open the SMS function on your messenger utility and enter the number on its dialpad or by using your keyboard or keypad.
4. Write your SMS note in the provided message field. Complete the note in the same fashion you would send an SMS message from your cell phone using its standard service.
5. Push “Send” to submit your SMS message to the iPhone.
