Is there anyway to embed ringtones you download online into your cellphones? I think the cell phone companies are ripping off on the ringtones prices. I went to Vietnam this summer, and saw them put ringtones into cellphones through some software. Does anyone here know how to do it?

i'm talking about just any provider. From my understanding, as long as your cellphone has a removable memory card, you should be able to saved ringtones into that card, and then put it in your cellphone.

i would google it if I were you

I chop up .mp3's and put them on my website and then just use my phone to go to my website and download the songs.

^I don't know what phone, but I'm on a market for one right now, and I'm looking for one that enable me to download ringtones off the web, instead of paying for them.

If you have Cingular, Walmart.com has previews for music cds that are .mp3 and are 30 seconds long. It is free, but it counts as data usage so you might want a MEdia Net package.

media net unlimited $19.99

1/22/2006 11:47:21 PM

can I use those clips as ringtones though?

1/22/2006 11:47:56 PM

If you save it as a .mp3 and your phone will play a .mp3 then yes.

1/22/2006 11:50:38 PM

my verizon phone (v710) won't accept .mp3 attachments... but if you email it a mp3 file disguised as a .mid it plays perfectly

1/22/2006 11:52:59 PM

my phone (nokia 6230, cingular) will play .mp3 filles as ringtones without complaint. I just chopped out a section of the song I wanted to use, sent it to the phone from a laptop via bluetooth, and selected it. Pretty simple.

does this website help?

http://www.smashthetones.com

you register (its free). enter in your cell information. choose a MIDI, MP3, or AAC file to upload. pick the length of time u want the snippet from (probably not more than 30 seconds long). go from there...

I use a program called SoundCapture - a free download from download.com. It records any sound that is playing through your sound card. Then i record the clip i want in mp3 format and bluetooth it to my phone. Works like a charm and it is free.

^ Precisely. So long as your phone is capable of playing .mp3 files, has storage capacity, and you have a way to transfer them onto it, then you're all set. I use a Motorola Mobile Phone Tools kit which I bought on eBay to connect my old V400 to my computer. I have uploaded all kinds of custom wallpapers and ringtones onto it. I actually use the CODEC sound clip from Metal Gear Solid (which I recorded and edited) as my ringtone.

By the way, absolutely do NOT buy a data connection cable or software kit from your provider. They will give you a royal screwin' for it. Cingular sells the Motorola Mobile Phone Tools kit exactly like the one I got for $60.00. I got mine on eBay for $5.00.
