Answers

Q. How do I register for this site?
A. When you order our service, you'll automatically be registered and given your login information upon completion. We just do it all in one step instead of you having to do it twice like many sites require. Be warned that other sites that want you to register simply do this so they can spam you or sell your phone number, which results in mysterious charges on your cell phone bill. We NEVER send out unsolicited emails or anything spam related. We hate spam just as much as you do. We also keep your phone numbers secure and never release or sell your phone numbers. Further, we NEVER charge your cell phone bill; we don't even have the ability to do this. So, you can be assured you won't get any strange charges on your phone bill with our service like you often get with other ringtone services.
 
Q. Will the ringtones and images expire after a certain number of days?
A. No. Unlike the files you get from your cell phone company, the files sent from Electcollect will stay on your phone until you delete them.
 
Q. Can you bill my cell phone statement?
A. There are two very good reasons why we don't offer this payment option. First, sites that bill cell phones directly are often scams and we don't want to be associated with them. Here's a site that lists consumer warnings about sites that bill cell phones directly. Secondly, we can't verify you're 18 and have authorization to bill your phone. For these reasons, we only accept payment by credit card, PayPal, or money orders. With PayPal, you can pay with your checking account using their eCheck service. There's no charge to setup a PayPal account.
 
Q. What's the average file size?
A. # Images depend on the size of your phone's display. They typically range from 10k for lower resolution phones to 20k for higher resolution phones. Phones with very high-resolution displays may be larger. # Ringtones range from 10k to 64k with the maximum being about 64k as long as you click the option that forces the length to not being longer than 30 seconds.
 
Q. Do you send out junk text messages like jokes or horoscopes?
A. Absolutely not! We are NOT in that business and you will never get any kind of junk text messages like jokes, horoscopes, trivia, or anything of the sort from us. We also DO NOT give or sell your number or email address to anyone as stated in our privacy notice. The only time you will ever get a text message from us is when you're sending a file to your phone. And even those text messages can be turned off if you wish to use your phone's browser to download files.
 
Q. Is this service Mac compatible?
A. Yes! Our service has been fully tested with the latest Safari, Firefox and IE browsers on the Mac running the latest OS X. Our real music ringtone conversion will also work with Mac computers converting to MP3, MP4 (ACC), QCP, and WAV file formats. As new features are added, Mac compatibility is always tested and verified.
 
Q. Do I need a data cable to send files to my phone?
A. No, if you are using our Short Text Code. Content cost more using this service. We recommend using the option listed below. Yes, you do need a data or USB cable. Our service by default sends files directly to your email over the Internet or attached to a text message. Therefore, a data cable is required. However, if you want to use a data cable or Bluetooth we have that option as well. Files can be downloaded to your computer and then sent to your phone over a data cable, Bluetooth, or whatever means you want.
 
Q. I get the text message but how do I make it work?
A. Once you receive the text message you need to open it and "Go" to the link provided. Some phones don't have a direct "Go" option. For these phones you may need to access the menu or option key for an option that allows you to "Go To" the link or save it to your bookmarks. If you still can't find the "Go" option use your phone's Internet browser and access Electcollect.com where you can download the files to test your phone.
 
Q. Could you add support for my phone that's not on the supported list?
A. Visit the Test Your Phone page and test your phone with the different file formats to see which file formats are compatible with your phone model. If you find your phone works but is not listed, please contact us so we can add your phone to the compatible phones list.
 
Q. How do I know if my phone will work?
A. We've made it very easy to test your phone with Electcollect and verify it's compatible before you order. Simply visit our Test Your Phone page and test out several kinds of files with your phone. You'll know up-front that your phone works before you order. What could be easier or give you more piece of mind?
 
Q. What ringtones can I have sent to my phone with this service?
A. Unlike most ringtone sites, we don't limit you to a fixed group of ringtones that you must choose from. You'll never run out of options with our service and you won't have to settle for ringtones that someone else thinks you'll like. Express yourself with the exact ringtone you want. While we do have a ringtone database and search with over 23,000 unique songs, any song can be used as a ringtone.
 
Q. Can I send files to multiple phones and switch phone models?
A. Absolutely! Our standard service allows you to send an unlimited number of ringtones and wallpaper to as many as phones and each can even be with different cellular companies. These phones can be family members, friends, or whoever you wish. A single payment will allow you to send an unlimited number of ringtones and screen savers to different phones. You can also change your phone model or even cellular company at any time! And don't forget, our membership lasts 12 months! Not just a month like the others.
 
Q. Is Electcollect really .50-cent ringtones and .10-cent art tones?
A. After you register, there's no additional costs or fees from Electcollect. Therefore, it's totally free to send an unlimited number of files to your phones as a member. Further, our service does NOT charge you weekly, monthly, or even yearly fees. Your single payment gives you a full membership and you're never charged again. You won't be charged from us no matter how many files you download. It's true unlimited free downloads!
 
Q. Is your question not answered here?
A. Visit the Support and Contact page for more information or to contact our support staff.
 
Q. How do I download?
A. 

There are two ways to download files to your cell phone after purchasing from Electcollect.com. They are: using a USB cable, or with the Bluetooth file transfer on your cell phone.

How do I download using a USB?

The USB option differs from the Text Messaging and Mobile Site (WAP) options in that no file is downloaded directly to your cell phone. Instead, the ringtone or wallpaper is downloaded to your computer and then transferred to your cell phone, using a USB cable which comes standard with all cell phones. Follow these simple steps when using a USB:

# Click on your 'My Downloads' folder and select the file of your choice by clicking on the save option beside it. (If you have yet to add content to your 'My Downloads' folder, please see section 2 of the Download Options.

# A small screen will appear. Click on the Save option and your computer will prompt you to select the location where the file should be stored on your home computer.

# Connect the USB cable to your cell phone.

# Connect the USB cable to your computer. USB slots can be found in the back of your computer and also usually in the front.

# Click on 'My Computer'. You should see your cell phone icon on this page. Copy the desired file and then double click your cell phone icon.

# Paste the file in the appropriate folder. (Usually a ringtone or media folder) If it is a ringtone file, make sure to set it as your ringer when you test it.

# Activate your new ringtone.

*Most cell phones will come with their own software. If you have some software with your cell phone, please install it and transfer the desired file to this program instead of using the 'My Computer' option. Most of these programs are straight forward and easy to use.

How do I download using my Bluetooth?

Bluetooth, much like the USB, is ideal for phones who are unable or do not possess internet capabilities. Make sure that the Bluetooth is properly set up. You should find instructions for using your Bluetooth in the manual that came with your cell phone. Remember that the desired ringtone or wallpaper must be on your desktop for the Bluetooth option to work. If you have not downloaded files to your desktop, please see the beginning of the step by step guide in section 5 of the 'Downloading Options'.

# Open the Bluetooth manager on your cell phone and select 'New'.

# Press 'Connect' from the lower left menu.

# Select 'ActiveSync via Bluetooth'.

# Click 'Next' a couple times through screens telling you to prepare your PC.

# Then you will see the window where you can select your PC.

# Select 'click here to choose a device'.

# Select your home PC icon. (You should see a red or blue check mark on your PC icon)

# The wizard will now query your PC.

# You will now have an ActiveSync Icon in your Bluetooth My Shortcuts tab in the Bluetooth Manager.

# Now you can make the transfer of the desired files.

# After finishing, activate the ringtone as your ringer.

*You should also read the Bluetooth section of your cell phone user guide.
