Cell phone ringer...

Clad · Post by **Clad** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 3:13 pm

Okay.. Heres the deal.. my cell phone ring tones are exteremly stupid.. I have a US Cellular subscription.. and when i click on the thing to download ring tones via my cell phone, it says it requires a subscription aside from buying each ring tone..

Heres my question:
Does anyone know a SAFE place to download ringtones onto my cell for FREE.. I know sprint has a few websites.. oh and a reminder, i use US Cellular

thanks.

I just set an mp3 file as my ringtone. When the evil sounds of black metal make the ears of mortals around me bleed, everyone knows someone is calling Dar

How do you manage to do that? I dont think mine can play complex sounds like mp3s, but is there a way to download songs/sounds and send them to your phone?

I think it depends on the phone, its connectivity (IR, USB) and memory. My phone supports .mp3 playback, so it's not a problem to download a song (or sopy it to the phone's memory card) and convert it to a ringtone.

Motorola. OK, IIRC, there is something like a "media gallery" there. You can d/l files (images and sounds) and set them as your wallpapers or ringtones. It should be pretty easy but probably won't work with files not coded as appropriate ringtones or mp3s. I'll look into this tomorrow if you want but I don't think it would really answer your question. Ofc you can try to set a custom sound as ringer but if it doesn't work, the only way is to d/l "proper" ringtones... which cost money.

TBH, I don't know any safe site with free ringtones.

Well, there is definetly a media gallery with either pictures or sounds... but i dont know how to download sound files into it.

Okay.. well I guess there are ways to do this.. but hte problem I'm having is how exactly do you transfer a ringtone to your cell.. I guess one way is to use a USB cable (Which i dont have and dont feel like spending $50 on)... the other way is using messages.. but I dont know how to do that.. anyone?
