How do I get ringtones on my BlackBerry?

For All Models

71xx, 72xx and 87xx whose OS is version 4.1 and below

By visiting a website from your BlackBerry browser where the ringtone is located, and downloading it from there. Upon clicking on the ringtone file, your BlackBerry should download it and the audio player should open. Click to save. If there is a problem, the audio file format is either likely not supported on your device model, or could be too large an audio file. Refer to the question “What kind of ringtones/audio can my Blackberry have?” for device-specific audio formats.
