Useful Tips for the Unlocked iPhone #3: Free Ringtones

Ever since I’ve a had a mobile phone that supported use of mp3s as ringtones, I’ve been making my own. When I got my iPhone, I was initially disappointed that, seemingly, the only way to do this was via the iTunes Store which involved paying for the ringtone - not something I’ve been accustomed to.

All you will need is:
