If you downloaded it directly on your phone, locate the file in your "Downloads" folder using a File Manager app and move it to the "Ringtones" folder.
2. Set the Ringtone:
   • Go to Settings > Sound & Vibration (or just "Sound").
   • Tap on Ringtone or Phone Ringtone.
   • Scroll through the list or tap "Add Ringtone" (the plus sign) if it doesn't appear automatically.
   • Select "Continental" (or whatever the file is named).
3. Done! Your phone will now play the classic tune when someone calls.
