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 use and share freeware games without paying a licensing fee. You can input your phone and model in the search box located on the right side to pull up games only for your phone.

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.
