Comment on This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone

I remember there was a shitty website where you could buy credits to spend on banners and ringtones, but their website was utter trash that you could modify it and get them for free, so just got them all to fuck around with.

Could you get ringtones on Nokia 3210/3310 ?

Yes. You could pay some geek to type it in during recess.

Or have them (or operator logos, which were effectively wallpapers) sent over RTTTL texts. With WAP, actual wallpapers, screensavers, polyphonic ringtones, games etc. became available too.

That was a little later than 3210/3310.

Oh, I had forgotten about about that feature. I was like 4yo back then.
