How To Upload New Ringtone To Lg420g

Based on the phone model number you gave, I would you have Tracfone, Net10 or Straight Talk service. You could buy them from the carrier (they usually deduct a certain number of minutes/units from your airtime), but this can be rather expensive. Another way I have been able to do this in the past is to send it via email to the phone. First of all, the ringtone has to be a certain size or smaller, usually around 1MB or smaller. Remember that there is limited memory in the phone itself to store pictures and ringtones. Basically you're going to send an MMS message to the phone itself. Based on the model you gave, it is a GSM phone which is more than likely using AT&T cell towers. So, first check the size of the ringtone. If it's larger than 1MB, it would be best to compress it down using audio editing software such as Wave Editor. You may have to experiment a bit by trying it in MP3 format and/or WAV format, depending on what the phone will accept. To compress the file, simply lower the bitrate of the audio file. Lowering the bit rate to 128kbps or less (probably not much lower than 64kbps though as the audio quality definitely degrades a lot at that rate and below). Then, go into your email, attach the ringtone on a new message and in the "To:" line where you would normally type out an email address, type in your 10-digit phone number@mms.att.net, for example, [email protected]. In the event that your phone uses T-Mobile towers, use this format: [email protected] Example: . Keep in mind that the number of units deducted for sending a ringtone or picture to your phone may vary, depending upon your plan and whether you have Tracfone, Net10 or Straight Talk. When you receive the MMS on your phone, simply use the "Save As" or "Save" function to save the ringtone or picture to your phone. I have succesfully sent dozens of picture messages to my Tracfone, Net10 and Straight Talk feature phones to use as background images and lots of ringtones as well. Good luck!
