Ringtones for free
I have no problem getting mp3s onto my phone, nor hacking the ez tip calc for pong, whatevers that worth..but I can't seem to figure out how to acquire ringtones for free. I figured maybe it had something to do with editing mp3 files, but I can't figure out what to do with them afterwards. I would really appreciate some help as to attaining ringtones for free.
...
Create an mp3 of 30 seconds or less using a program like audacity to cut and edit if necessary. Copy it to your phone's my sounds using any of a number of different methods. Text it to yourself. When you receive the message, select save as ringtone.
...
You have a phone. Select my sounds, select the clip you want as a ringtone and then text it to your own number.
...
USB or bluetooth. Load the USB drivers from the CD. When the phone is connected, it should show up in my computer, and one of the folders will be my sounds. Drag and drop.
...
Oh no **** I must not have looked for it...last time I hooked it up to my comp I just used the vcast music manager program that came with it. So it opens up like a normal hard drive/folder in my comp you say? Good deal, good deal. Another 20 minutes and I can leave this place and find out. Yay for clocking out.
...
The only thing phonezoo sent me to my phone was a confirmation msg it never sent any ring tone I chose from the site.
...
I wrote the thread below in 2004, it still works and applies. Newest info though, is that a site called mobile17.com will allow you to upload a full song and will splice it wherever you want for any specified amount of time. It is totally free. Tell them what exact second you want to start the ringtone and what second to end it. Have it emailed to yourself or sent directly to the phone. IT WORKS....its great because you dont need to buy any software or download anything fro the net. After you follow the directions bellow and you have a sound file or a song on your computer just follow the instructions on the site and enjoy your new ringers.

I use Xingtone and there seems to be a 250kb limit on tones you can send yourself via email .. now I have sent myself tones larger than 250KB but it was a txt sound file from my AT&T phone .. apparently there is a larger limit for txt from a phone as opposed to ones coming from a Email
can anyone else confirm this?
can anyone else confirm this?
...
I don't know exactly what the limit is, but 250-300kb is the usual reported range. I have used audacity to lower the bitrate of clips to keep them around 25 seconds and 100-150kb. Also, there is no reason for a ringtone to be longer than 30 seconds, since that's when it goes to voicemail. You might be able to transfer larger files to the phone with bitpim using USB or bluetooth. There isn't a limit on audio files on the SD card or in vcast (e.g. in My Music) as far as I know; just on what you can text as a ringtone.
...
you shoudl be able to get up to 350kb at leaste, I have a few that are around 340 and they went through fine
...
just got off the phone with Verizon tech and they said they altered the file formats of the accepted sound files so that people can not "EMAIL" them selves sounds and save them as ring tones .. pictures are fine but sounds the filter .. at times one will slip thru but for the most part Ive tried to email myself from my PC and 99% of them have returned undeliverable
...
hey i dont know what you have or i havent got but I'm just saying what they told me and what I cant do .. Ive tried to send myself a email sound file over 50 times in different sizes .. even tried a 90k one .. and they all came back .. tried from Verizon.net aol.com yahoo msn .. name it i tried it .. i called verizon and asked them questions about "sending pics" and worked my way towards sounds and they told me they are trying to filter and change some file assn
ive even tried to email myself a photo that was about 250k and it came back as well
maybe because i recently changed my plan as they told me i had to to order the voyager .. IDK but I am having this issue and so are alot of ppl .. I used to use Xingtone with no problems and th...

ive tried a few .. mp3 .. mid even just regular jpg pictures and they wont send no matter how big or little the file size is
...
Save the mp3 as mono worked fine for me as of 1/18/08 also try upgrading your firmware on the phone
...
I used cool edit pro. Any sound editing program you can whore though use a torrent site. All you do is open the mp3, splice a 30 second or less egment, then save as 8 bit mono, or 16, i forget which one I used.
...
Also try phonezoo.com if they send you a tone and it STILL doesn't work when you save as ring tone..your phone doesnt work right.
...
hmm i sent mine with no issues. But as of late i have just been using bluetooth to put them in my sounds folder then i just text them to myslef. Saves me from creating an email
...
One more time with feeling. Emailing is not the way you go about this, and it has been covered in several previous threads. The way to do it is to transfer the audio file to your phone's "my sounds" directory using either the included usb cable or bluetooth. Then, using get it now, my sounds (on the card or internal memory) text the file to yourself. When you open up and listen to the text message, select the option to save as ringtone. Suggest you all use the search function to see what has already been explained in detail several times.
...
If you'll read the forum, you'll see that a lot of people have trouble getting that to work, genius. The method I describe works for everyone and has been discussed repeatedly in detail in prior forum messages.
...
One person who can't figure out how to properly encode the mp3 doesn't know how to send themselves a free ringtone so no one else does? Screw your other threads you never specify them. WHAT OTHER THREADS I'm sick of you claiming other threads exist where you thouroughly explain this. All you do is give some bs story about ringtones coming up on your phone in my music..somehow..then you txt yourself the ringtone? Wtf kind of retarded **** is that why would you send yourself something already on your phone. I'll tell you the kind of retarded **** it is it's stupid bullshit. You receive a free ring tone by emailing it to your number which comes to your phone as a txt msg, NOT AN EMAIL. STFU

You can not use the usb cable to transfer anything other than mp3 files, which will not save as ringtones.
...
The phone doesnt show up in mycomputer, there is no way to transfer anything without the v cast music program which only transfers mp3s not allowing ringtone functionality. Emailing the ringtone to yourself, or having a service do it for you, is the only way I've found to get them free and it works 100% every time for me.
...
Well, you're wrong about transferring things to the phone using the USB cable. You can also use bluetooth. The vcast functions or software are not part of this conversation and have nothing to do with transferring files to folders on the phone or saving mp3's for use as ringtones. If you will go back and read previous threads fully, you'll see that what I've described is simple and easy and confirmed by a number of other users.
...
We're not discussing previous threads. We're discussing this thread. I'm not going to search through 50 pages of threads for a mysterious thread for which you have no name. Don't use your faulty logic on me it belittles me. I am not wrong about the usb cable. It only lets you transfer things from v cast music manager, it does not open up the phone on the computer. You can not transfer ring tones using the cable. You are full of **** the only method is emailing the tone to your phone or having a www site email it to you, both of which come out as a txt msg on your phone, stop using faulty logic and ridiculous bs about other threads that arent specified.
...
Check your manual,genius, tools settings usb mass storage device. Once you put it in mass storage mode, it will appear as a removable drive in my computer and you can drag and drop files into those folders that verizon permits access to. One of which is not ringtones. Because usb mass storage mode doesn't expose that folder. So if you transfer a song from your computer to my sounds using the cable, you can go to get it now, music and sounds, my sounds, select the tune you transferred, text it to yourself, and save as ringtone when you receive it. It would really help if you would stop posting information that is just plain wrong. If you can't figure it out or read the manual, that's not anyone's fault but yours. I would accept an apology, bu...

I have to agree that your directions were spot on. The only "issue" was navigating to some of the menu selections since I've only had the phone a few weeks. But I followed the directions and got a new ringtone!
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the tips!
...
That is true, that how I transfer my videos (definitely Movies like "300") and ringtones to my voyager also. The phone has to be in mass storage mode for this process to work.
...
You need to read the instructions thoroughly. Once you have transferred them to the my sounds folder on the phone, you text it to yourself from get it now/my sounds. Then, you can save the received sound as a ringtone.
...
How exactly do you transfer them to my sounds on the phone without first texting yourself? This is how I do it, without your circular logic, and it works fine.
...
Drag and drop from your computer to the voyager folder in my computer. You first must have installed the usb drivers and connected the phone, or you can use bluetooth. You can also do the whole process directly using the free bitpim product (again, using either the usb connection or bluetooth).
...
Drivers installed, the phone does NOT show up in my computer. My only means to do this is via emailing my phone number. Maybe it's cause youre using the current firmware version.
