To all you techies out there: Does anyone know how to create a website where you can have ringtones available for download for a fee? One of my friends wants to get into this, he's got the ringtones, just doesn't know how to get a website running where he can put all these ringtones and have people download them by paying him for it.
Anyone knows?
There are at least 3 things to do here!
1. Get the web page up - with the ringtones, midi. code numbers etc... and have your data-base full of them. - sending ringtone via sms requires coding - check the Nokia site on the coding of notes and some 'developers kit' download. SDK they call that, i think.
2. Then get it linked to a gsm modem - check if it can reach all moblie operators phones. Or link to an sms agency via TCP/IP or whatever.
3. Get some revenue collections method on. Buy prepaid cards, via credit card, or some remittance etc etc.
I have seen on company in singapore - they have 3 systems. One for receiving the orders, linked to one for sending the ringtone via a GSM modem and one to hold the coded data of the ringtones. Big chore!
Thanks Idiappam!
Seems a big chore alright! Will pass on the information to my friend. Thanks for the tip about checking the Nokia website as well.
