Is there any way to get free ringtones without any sign up or aything like that. No charge nothing.
I dont care if it is poly or real just anything but the cingular tone.

Yeah, make your own and bluetooth it to your phone...

Yep, that's what I do...no way in hell am I paying $2 for a low-quality 30-second (if that) mp3.

Ssh, don't say Bluetooth or starman will soon be on your ass about how absolutely horrible sending a ringtone to a phone via Bluetooth is.

USB cables work, too. Sometimes some of this stuff takes a firmware hack.

Personally, If I can download a ringtone, I pick the Super Mario Bros. theme. If I can't, I pick something that sounds good and is loud. I don't buy ringtones all of the time, so at the end of the day, it doesn't matter to me.

My phone doesnt support sending through bluetooth even though it has blue tooth. I cant connect it to my computer because i dont have a usb cable. Is there a way to SMS it?

SMS is only for text messages, and AFAIK, you can't attach a ringtone to an MMS.

You could upload it to a web server and try downloading it to your phone that way.

How could i do that?

At least with my carrier I can email midi files to my phone. (So that means it is an MMS)

The phone and carrier must support it.

Mine is US Cellular.

Thus I can google "Midi + Song name"

On my phone that does not support getting ring tones via MMS it just gets a text saying I sent a picture to the phone and where to see it on the web, then the website shows a blank spot where an image should be, and no midi.

Free Sony Ericsson T630 ringtones - myT630

Bluetooth was invented to be a kind of wireless peripheral cable, so why should ANYONE worry about using it for that purpose? That's just dumb in my opinion.

I use a USB cable to connect my RAZR to my MBP, and I have transferred a number of files between the two with BT as well. I don't think the RAZR directly supports moving files through USB, but it sure does over BT.

free ringtones - Google Search

I still don't get why anyone would ever pay for ringtones when you can put whatever MP3 you want straight onto your phone.

imitchellg5 · Nov 23, 2006, 06:25 PM

You don't really, at least for free.

That's a bit like asking "How can I press the power button to turn on my Mac without using my hands, my feet, or my nose?"

You will incur some bandwidth charges (if you aren't on unlimited data transfer already) but you can simply upload files to a mobile phone uploader site and download the files directly to your phone.

get a better phone or buy the usb cable

next time you get a new phone research your options before you make your choice.
this one clearly doesnt do what you want it to

lastly, go to howardforums

neverskatewithsandals, you're failing at the internet just so you know. FAILING.

osiris · Nov 24, 2006, 11:24 AM

a second vote for Howard Forums...

some providers won't allow custom ringtones unless you buy them. One way around this is to rename mp3 files to 3gp, then choose 'em as a ringtone.

Heavy Fluid · Nov 24, 2006, 04:35 PM

Bluetooth + Cingular RAZR V3 = all the free ringtones/wallpapers/applications/games that you can find on the internet.
