Free Composer Ringtones for Nokia

Free composer ringtones for Nokia allow you to get new tunes that other users set up. If you're feeling uninspired when it comes to making your own composer ringtones, they could jolt you out of your rut. In the meantime, you'll have a nice little ringtone jingle to enjoy.

Composer ringtones aren't ringtones featuring tunes from Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach (not necessarily, at least). They are ringtones created by assigning a note to a specific number on your phone. Then the "song" is typed out in text. There are codes that mean to lengthen or shorten a note, like brackets around a number that mean to hold it until a dot appears on the screen, or the number eight or nine signaling a shortened or lengthened note respectively. The number symbol makes a note sharp and the actual number denotes the octave.

If you have Composer on your Nokia phone, you can find it by going to Menu, then Tones, then Composer, and then go on to create your own ringtone (or one per someone else's instructions). According to Free-Ringtones.uk, you can get the right notes by pressing:

• 1 for C
• 2 for D
• 3 for E
• 4 for F
• 5 for G
• 6 for A
• 7 for B
• 0 for a pause or rest

If your friend has a tune or two that you like, you can get your free composer ringtones by trading with them. You can send them from one phone to another by pressing Send in the Options menu.
