only to Cellular One, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless customers upon successful
registration of the Ringaza Club service. Credits expire if not used during the
applicable one month subscription. As with other credits, the bonus credits do

which begins on the first day you sign up for the subscription and ends 30 days
thereafter (your "Billing Cycle"). Your telephone bill will be

Problems Receiving Ringtones
If you order a ringtone or other product and have problems downloading or are
unable to download it, please read the following instructions:
How do I download my ringtone/background/game to my phone?
To download a polyphonic ringtone, background, or game you must use the
wireless Internet connection on your cell phone (not the web browser on your
computer). While each cell phone model may require a slightly different
approach to download content, the basic steps for downloading are as follows:
- After you make a purchase with
Ringaza, you will receive a text message to your cell phone. In that
message, you will see a URL specially designed for your phone. You will
need to open this URL using the wireless Internet connection on your cell
phone (MEdia Net, or T-Zones).
- To open the URL from the text message,
choose "Options" or "Menu" whichever your phone uses.
If you see the option "Go" on the screen, click that and skip
the next four steps.
- Select "Extract" or
"Use Detail".
- You may be asked whether you want to
extract a "Phone Number," "E-mail Address" or
"Web Address." Select "Web Address."
- You should see a single URL in a list
of web addresses. Select that.
- If you see "Options" select
that, and then select "Go To" or "Go."
- Your wireless Internet connection
should now be open to the URL where you can download your Ringaza content.
You should see some text about your new ringtone or background and a link
to download. Select "Download" and then follow any additional
prompts your phone gives you.
- Some phones may do this automatically,
in which case when you view your message you can select the web address.
Then, you'll see a page with a download link and some text about your
content. Complete the download and save to your phone.
How to get content for Verizon Wireless phones?
- After you make a purchase with
Ringaza, you will receive a message to your cell phone. The first message
you will receive will say that your order will be received shortly.
- You will receive a second message
specially designed for your phone. Due to this message is a MMS message
your phone will automatically download the content.
- You still must save the content to
your phone. This step is different from one phone to the next. You may
have an option on screen to save the content or you may have to select
menu depending on you make and model phone. Some phones require you to
save the file and store it.
- If these steps have not helped please
consult you phone's owner’s manual or contact your service provider for
more assistance.
These instructions do not apply to my phone. What do I do?
If these instructions do not apply to your phone, you can also download your
item manually. To do this:
- Open your wireless Internet connection
such as M-Mode, MEdia Net, or T-Zones on your cell phone.
- Use your keypad to manually type in
the URL contained in the text message sent to you by Ringaza. The URL will
look something like this: http://www.ringaza.com/get/wml/abc12345.
- When your browser opens the link, you
will see a page that says your item is ready for you from Ringaza.
- Select the "Download Now"
link and hit "OK" or "Select Link" or "Open"
or "Go", whichever your phone uses. Your item should then
successfully download to your phone.
- It is important that you SAVE the
ringtone to your phone in order for it to be stored there permanently.
- For more instructions, please refer to
your phone's user manual.
