Walmart ringtones, help
I must be doing something wrong. I am trying to get a walmart ringtone, but I can't save it to the phone. I do it the same way I do it on my v551. I send the URL as a txt msg to my phone I open the txt msg and click on "go to" but it only plays it; it doesn't give me an option to save it. On my v551 when I do this, after I click on "go to" it starts downloading, and after the donwload is complete it is automaticaly saved on the phone. Do I have to do something different? What am I doing wrong? Please help.

well this is what I do and it works great for me...hope it helps...
1) I go to walmart.com...
2) save the clip that I want to my comp.
3) rename the extension to .mid instead of .mp3 (you might not have to do this for some reason my phone only lets me use .mid as ringtones...so if you find that mp3 isnt working try changing the extension to .mid)
4) email the clip as an attachment to my#@vzwpix.com
5) open the text message on my phone and it should read 1/2 at the top. when the clip starts playing I go to save the clip, and the screen prompts me to select FILE, i click save and then I can apply it as a ringtone or just save it.

I don't send it to that my#@vzwpix.com. I just send it as a regular txt msg from vtext.com (it's cheaper, -I think- dont you get charged $.25 for emailing it, instead of $.10 for sending it a a regular txt msg?)
Could this be what Im doing wrong?
...
Don't know about that 25 cent charge...(that would sucK) How do you attach a file through vtext? I just email straight from my aol acct to my phone (my#@vzwpix.com) Try emailing one to yourself (so what if its only a quarter) and see if it works that way...if it does you will know what you are doing wrong. ANd emailing is still cheaper than paying a dollar or more for only one ringtone
...
all u have to do is save the ringtones make sure it is mp3 or midi (it usually saves as mp3 anyways) and go to funformobile.com and then once you have done that go to free uploads and type in your phone number, carrier, and then search your computer for the song file and then hit upload and it will send to your phone as a text message.. read the text message and the song should start playing. hit the menu key and choose save file, then press ok, then hit store and you can store only or if you want to instantly make it your ringtone hit store as ringtone. its that easy 😎 well i guess it sounds harder then it really is.. believe me its really easy. enjoy 😁
...
Oops - sorry to duplicate instructions! 😲 I read yours after I sent my message. You were one step ahead of me.
...
you're right it does sound complicated...i'll give it a go though and see what happens..doesn't hurt to save a quarter!
...
Keep in mind you can transfer SEVERAL ringtones in ONE email message. Just keep attaching.
I think the attachment limit is 10. So 2.5 cents per ringtone.
I recently sent an email to my phone a friends using the @vzwpix.com address of each phone.
He has a 710 and I have an 815.
The message had 15 ringtones in it. He was able to see and save all 15 tones to his phone, however on the 815 I was only able to see 10 of the 15. It cut off the last 5. I am guessing that 10 is a limit on the 815.

how do you add 10? do you just keep hitting browse and hitting the tone you want? or do you have to put something in between?

I've had my 815 for less than 24 hours... I got it free in NE2, so that was nice. But I'm lost on the ringtones.
I can't save the WalMart clips to my computer as an mp3 file, which puzzles me. Any thoughts?
I do have 2 full downloaded songs from WalMart coincidentally, I tried using those but they are too large.
Thanks!

well the walmart clips are already in mp3 format at least they are when I save them to my computer are you right clicking on the preview clip and saving from there?
...
They are only able to be saved as windows media player files on my computer... I tried changing the extension and it didn't work.
I like to think I would know how to do it, but I would love to be humbled and figure out I'm wrong if it means I can get this figured out!
Thanks! 🙂

Sorry for my delay, thanks for your help so far!
Ummm, when I try to change the extension it just isn't working. On my home PC (windows 2000, yes, shaddup) and on my work PC (XP) if I right click a clip, and choose 'Save Target As' I can most certainly save the file, but the save as type is 'Windows Media Audio/Video Playlist' and I've tried several things: renamed the clip at this point and later to add mp3 or mid, I've changed the type to All Files (which I didn't think would work, but I was tinkering) and each time I could save the file as I typed the extension but it didn't truly change the file. If I tried to play it after changing the extension it wouldn't play, there were codec errors, etc...
Hope that's enough for you to get wh...

You are in the wrong section of Wal Mart. You need to go to the CD Store, not the download side. 😕
Do a search of this forum and you will find this and lots of other info on saving and using MP3s. 😉

go to the link above (not sure if you are a beyonce fan)it should take you to a page that has beyonce cd cover if you scroll down, you will get a list of the songs in the cd and some of them have a little blue icon for you to listen to 30 second clips of that song...if this is NOT where you have been going..then right click on MP3AUDIO (it will be underlined and on the left of the blue headphone icon) and save it, that should save as an MP3, that you can send to your phone or you can change that .mp3 file to a .mid for your phone....Hope this helps!

I'm a beginner and I haven't had any problems at all. Here's what I do. I don't know if all these steps are necessary, but they work flawlessly for me.
1. Send yourself the file. I use http://www.funformobile.com/pages/ringtone/up loadRingtone.php
I don't rename the files. Some have .mp3 extensions, and some are just named whatever the song's name is with no extension, and some have long numeric names. I just use the commands on funformobile screen and it works.
2. Wait a few minutes. When you get the message, press Main Menu (middle top button)>Messaging>Inbox>Select>Read.
3. The song should start playing. It takes a few seconds to start. When it does, press center button Main Menu>Save Items>Select.
4. The screen asks Save What? Highl...

dont download them.. go to the section for cd's and then just listen to the 30 second clips to see what you like then go back to the song link and right click and hit save link as.. it should save as an mp3 if it doesnt ur in trouble but it should and then funformobile.com shouldnt have a problem sending it
