I understand that some mobile telephones nowadays can download tunes to
play
when they ring. Can anybody point me to (a) the
download protocol(s)
that the
phones use and (b) the file format(s) for these tunes?
Yes, several Nokia, Ericsson, and Siemens models can download tunes, and a
few can be programmed in other ways with a data cable. One place to start
might be
http://www.cellulartips.com/index.html
but there are lots of other sites around. You'll find a lot of information
by using AltaVista, or DejaNews to search the uk.telecom newgroups as well
(look for "nokia" and "data"), eg
