If your cellphone is supported by FlyCell (99% are supported), it has the ability to connect to the internet. You can understand the procedure more, if you compare it to surfing on the Internet via your computer. Basically, FlyCell uses the Internet to bring you the ringtones and wallpaper you have selected straight to your cellphone. As a result you receive a web link on your cellphone. Your main task is to click on the link inside the text message to open the browser on your cellphone.
On some mobile devices it is easier than on others. Once you have opened the text message with the link, you use the phone's arrow keys to scroll through the message until the link is highlighted. After that you must click either "Go" or "Ok" or "Navigate" or the "Green Button" on your phone to follow the link.
Other mobile phones are bound to make this task difficult. After you open the text message with the link, you must press the menu button on your phone, then you will see a list of options. If you see the option for "Go To" or "Navigate" or "Retrieve" or "Open WAP" or "Use Detail" or "Find", select the choice to follow the link.

On additional cell phones there is the option to extract the link from the text message. Each time you open the text message with the link, you have to press the menu button on your phone. There will appear an option in the menu to "Extract Link"; if you select this alternative you will receive a list of web links to choose from. In this case, there should only be one choice which you must press "OK" or "Go" or "Navigate" to follow the link that is provided.

After I saved the ringtone and/or wallpaper to my cellphone, how do I convert it to a ringtone or wallpaper?
After you save the ringtone or wallpaper to your phone, you can start relating it with a caller or trying to make the ringtone or image the default for the mobile phone.
If your mobile phone supports per caller ringtones/wallpaper (most do), you can go to your contact list and choose a contact. Once you are in the contact list, select the option to customize ringtone or picture. If your cellphone offers this feature it is supposed to prompt you with a list of all media saved to your mobile phone.
