How to Set a Custom Caller Tune on Airtel: The Ultimate Guide

Want your friends, family, and callers to groove to your favorite song instead of the boring standard ringback tone? Setting a custom caller tune (known as Hello Tunes on Airtel) is one of the best ways to express your personality, highlight your current mood, or share a new chart-topping track you are obsessed with.

Whether you are using a smartphone or a basic feature phone, setting up a Hello Tune on Airtel is quick, easy, and mostly free depending on your active prepaid or postpaid plan.

Method 1: The Easiest Way — Using the Wynk Music App

For smartphone users, the Wynk Music app is the official and most seamless hub for managing your Airtel Hello Tunes.

1. Download and Open: Install the Wynk Music app from the Google Play Store (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS) and sign in using your Airtel mobile number.
2. Search for Your Song: Tap the search icon and look up any track, artist, or album you want as your tune. Wynk features a massive library spanning Bollywood, regional languages, international pop, and instrumental tracks.
3. Select the Hello Tunes Icon: Once you play or view the song details, look for the Hello Tunes icon (usually represented by a small ringtone/soundwave symbol).
4. Choose Your Favorite Segment: Many songs allow you to choose a specific 30-second chorus or verse snippet. Preview it to make sure it is the exact part you want callers to hear.
5. Set for All Callers: Tap Set Hello Tune and confirm your selection. The tune will typically activate within a few minutes, and you will receive a confirmation SMS.

Method 2: Setting a Hello Tune via SMS or USSD Code

If you prefer a quick text-based approach or do not have the Wynk app installed, you can use text messaging or dial codes.

• Via SMS:
  Type the keyword/song code (if you know it) and send it to 54321 (toll-free for many plans), or text SET [Song Code] to the designated service number.
• Via USSD Dial Code:
  Dial *678# from your Airtel number to open an interactive menu of trending and recommended Hello Tunes. Follow the on-screen prompts to browse genres and activate your selection.

Method 3: Using the Airtel Thanks App

The Airtel Thanks app is your one-stop dashboard for managing your entire Airtel ecosystem, including data balance, recharges, and entertainment services.

1. Open the Airtel Thanks app.
2. Navigate to the Manage or Services section, or look for the Hello Tunes banner on the home screen.
3. Browse through curated playlists or search for a specific track.
4. Tap Activate to apply the tune to your incoming calls instantly.

Key Things to Keep in Know About Airtel Hello Tunes

• Validity & Unlimited Plans: Many popular Airtel unlimited prepaid and postpaid packs include free, unlimited Hello Tune changes via the Wynk Music app. Be sure to check your active pack benefits in the Airtel Thanks app.
• Validity Period: If your plan does not bundle free Hello Tunes, individual subscriptions usually last for 30 days and auto-renew unless canceled.
• Deactivation: If you ever want to revert to the default ringing tone, you can open the Wynk Music app, go to your Hello Tunes profile, and select Stop Hello Tune, or dial *678# and select the deactivation option.

Pro Tip: Want to keep things fresh? Use the Auto-Randomizer or playlist feature on the Wynk Music app to automatically shuffle your Hello Tunes among your top favorite tracks so callers hear a different song every time they ring you!
