Caller tunes are the songs or music clips which are played by your mobile network when someone tries to call you. Instead of hearing the traditional ring sound, the caller listens your favorite song or music clip.
In Airtel, caller tunes are called Hellotunes. Every telecom network provides this facility and refers caller tunes by a different name such as JioTunes in Jio, etc.
In past activating caller tunes on your mobile number was a paid feature and users had to pay a small fees for activating and enabling caller tunes on their SIM number on monthly basis. The caller tune charges were automatically deducted from recharge amount for prepaid users and were added to monthly bill for postpaid users. The caller tune fees was approx. 30 Rs for all networks.
Now we are going to share a small and useful tip for Airtel users. If you have an Airtel connection in your mobile phone and you want to set a caller tune for your mobile number, you can do it for free. Yes, you read it right.
Airtel allows users to set their favorite songs or other music clips as caller tune for free. How? Here is the answer.
Actually Airtel provides a very popular music app called "Wync Music" which allows users to listen old and new songs as well as download songs for offline use. There are millions of songs available on this app in many languages such as Hindi, English, Punjabi, Bhojpuri, Tamil, Telugu, etc.
With the help of Wync Music app, you can set any desired song as caller tune (hellotune) on your mobile number.

PS: You can also search for desired song using the Search button and then set it as caller tune using Wync Music app.
NOTE: The caller tune is set on your mobile number for 30 days period. After the time period, you can renew the same caller tune or change caller tune using Wync Music app again.
