Most of the newer cell phones allow you to download ringtones.
However, what you need to understand is that in the US, ringtones are carrier specific: if your carrier does not allow you to SMS ringtones from one place to the next, you are out of luck.
Many people don't realize that and think that if they purchase a ringtone from a web site and their phone doesn't 'download' it, they blame the phone, when in fact it is a carrier issue.
