Mobiles24 (previously known as Ringtone Nation) is one of the largest and most organized online resources for free mobile phone downloads, with over 5 million members sharing more than 400,000 downloads between themselves.

Public Gallery

The Public Gallery is one the main features of Mobiles24. Registered users are able to download content from the Public Gallery directly on to their PC or mobile phone.[1]

Users are also able to upload content to the Public Gallery. Every public upload is moderated by a Gallery Moderator to ensure the upload is suitable for the website and to reduce the possibility of duplicates.

The content available in the Public Gallery are:

• Ringtones (MP3 & MIDI)
• Mobile themes
• Wallpapers
• Animated GIF screensavers
• 3GP videos
• Mobile software (Java, Symbian & Android)
• Mobile games (Java, Symbian & Android)
• Flash applications & games

Other Features

Ringtone Maker

Mobiles24 provides a ringtone maker which allows registered users to upload their own music tracks and select a segment of their uploaded song - up to 30 seconds long - to use as a ringtone. This can then be downloaded privately or shared with other users of the website via the Public Gallery.

Family Filter

Mobiles24 is the only mobile download site that features a "Family Filter" option. By enabling the Family Filter, users can prevent adult content from being visible directly (although Mobiles24 does not contain any extreme adult related content such as pornography, full frontal nudity, blood, gore etc.)

After enabling the Family Filter, a thumbnail which says "Mature item: Over 18's only" appears over all adult rated downloads. This prevents underage users from being exposed to adult content by accident.

Website History

Mobiles24 was launched on 22 December 2006 having been in development since January of that year. The website was previously known as Ringtone Nation (ringtonenation.com) which existed from March 2002 offering free monophonic ringtones and later, one of the first and only sites to offer free polyphonic ringtones.
