How to  add a ringtone to your Kyocera Cell Phone...

The Kyocera range of phones are very popular in the USA.  Unfortunately they do not have a composer in the handset so you do need a cable to add ringtones to the Kyocera range of handsets,  but once you have the necessary equipment adding new ringtones is quite easy!

What do I need to add a ringtone to my Kyocera phone?

To add a ringtone to your phone you will need.

  1. Your Kyocera handset,  such a the 2235 or 2255.  These are available on a number of networks such as Verizon, Sprint and of course the new Virgin mobile plan.
  2. The Kyocera cable and software to download the tones onto your phone.  You can get these from Ebay at a reasonable cost,  we paid $ 15 for a cable,  which came with the necessary software.
  3. A copy of the Ringtone Converter software,  to create the ringtones to send to your phone.

So how do I download a ringtone to my phone?


  1. First create the ringtone

The first thing to do is to create the ringtone you want to send to your phone using the Ringtone Converter.

To do this,  simply open the Ringtone Converter software,  select a ringtone,  or paste an RTTTL ringtone into the large entry box on the main screen,  then click the file button on the main screen and select 'Save As'.

Save the ringtone in Kyocera '.kws' format so you can download it to your phone.


  1. Download the ringtone to your phone

Now you need to use the Kyocera Connectivity Tool Kit software that came with your cable to download the ringtone file to your phone.

If you have version 1 on the Kyocera Connectivity Toolkit software,  Kycoera offer a free upgrade to version 2 here.  (please do not ask us for version 1 of the software as we cannot supply it - it is copyright Kyocera,  your cable should be supplied with it!).

Assuming you have the current (version 2) of this software,  start it (select Start > Programs > Kyocera > Kyocera Phone Desktop) and select the com port you have attached the cable to on your pc.  If you are not sure,  just select any com port and if it doesnt work just try another until it does!

Now,  in the Kyocera software,  select 'Edit',  then 'Import Ringers'.  The software will open a window,  and allow you to choose a ringtone file,  so select the .kws ringtone file you saved earlier with the Ringtone Converter software.


  1. Synchronize your ringtone files

Finally,  to download the ringtone file to your phone,  select 'Snyc > Ringers with phone > Overwrite phone'.

Then click next,  then finish.

Disconnet your phone from the cable and turn it on,  then in the phones menu select 'Menu > Settings > Sounds > Ringer Type' and you should find your new ringtones at the end of the ringers list.


Does it all sound a little complicated?

Dont worry,  its not really,  its one of those things that is quite easy if you have the phone and cable etc,  but if you read ahead seems impossible.  Just take it one step at a time and you will have lots of new ringtones before you know it!
