Freaking ringtone ripoff...

**Brk** · 07-27-04, 04:23 PM

AT&T Wireless never has any of the ringtones I want, and I've gotten several from English websites, but I just tried bought one from a Canadian site, they send me the WAP address to download, but the link is invalid. I re-buy it to check, maybe I screwed something up. Nope, same thing. I've e-mailed them for assistance, but it's bull****.

Just upload them to the phone yourself. You will need the data cable for your model of phone and some software to upload with. I don't know anything about AT&T's phones, only Nextel but give www.howardforum.com a look...

A ringtone is a sound file that is stored on your cell phone that when it rings it plays the sound file

I know what you mean though, there are some people out there VERY obsessed with 'em. I found one for my phone years ago when I first got it, and have just stuck with it.

Check out http://3gwiz.com/main.php I pay 10 bux a year for a membership. All the tones and images I want on my phone

I can even make my own and upload them through here. It is worth it to me

Just check to see if your phone and carrier are listed... I use sprint so I am good ...

if you want to test ... just PM me your phone type and cell number and I will send a ringer to you from my account and you can test ...

Uh, no. I want to DOWNLOAD them, not have to buy another cable for the phone and do it manually.

I mainly use them for certain people, so I know who's calling if my phone is in the other room and I don't want to go get it...works well when driving, too. A certain tone indicates my sister, mom, girlfriend, etc.

Not a bad idea.
