If your phone can play music (MP3's), you should be able to create and download ringtones from SwapMo.
If you are having issues 'getting' media to your phone, your wireless carrier may have disabled
the ability to download, save and store ringtones and wallpaper.
Known carriers that block or attempt to block downloads are:
Nextel, Verizon and Boost Mobile.
Feel free to contact us for further technical support: support@swapmo.com
Don't worry about it. We really don't need that information anyway. We do our best to automatically detect what device you have.
If you can't seem to get your media through the 'Send to Phone' feature,
try using the mobile web.
Go to URL: www.swapmo.com using your mobile browser
We currently don't support iPhones. Check back soon, we're working on it!

You'll need to be online when creating media from our software. The creator tool links directly to your online personal profile.
Once you link your SwapMo account to Facebook, all of your tones and wallpaper are linked within our Facebook application. You can send them to your phone through Facebook, Swapmo.com, or when creating them in the creator software.

See Instructions Below
When you install the creator software we try to detect your PC's internal audio settings, but if we can't detect a Record Setting, you'll need to manually select it.
To select a Audio/Record Line:
- Open the Audio Controls link (Located on a Ringtone screen)
- Check to see what Record Options your have (see Examples below)
- For Creating Ringtones, Select: Wave Out Mix or StereoMix for the best sound.
- For Creating Voicetones, Select Microphone
- Create a 'Test' Tone in order to listen to the quality and volume of your tone.
NOTE: Sometimes when you 'Preview' your Ringtone it will have sound. But, if you
'Send' it to your phone and it has no sound, check your Record Settings. You most likely
have no Record Setting available on your PC.
Examples:
In some cases, especially with newer Dell computers the Audio/Record Setting
aren't available or detected.
Try going to Dell's site to download updated drivers
If you do not have a Wave Out or StereoMix Record Line, you may have
to Create Ringtones using a different PC. Try testing with other Record Lines.
Top
If you haven’t received a text message from SwapMo within 30 minutes, it’s most likely because you have Test/SMS messaging blocked, you don’t not have text messaging turned on, your
carrier doesn't allow downloading of Ringtones, or your carrier is slow due to high volumes of messages going through their network at that time.
Make sure you have selected the right Service Provider
and
Entered your mobile phone number correctly.
Verizon subscribers - Go here for Instructions
If you don’t have text messaging, you can still get your Ringtones and Wallpaper by going

If you can't click on the text link that we send you, Go here for Instructions
Your service provider may be experiencing high volumes of text messages. Try again later,
