I'm reposting this from the Motorola forum in case the answer has more to do with my Cingular service than the motorola phone I'm using...

I am really having problems trying to transfer ringtones to my Razr V3 phone without having to buy any additional hardware. I have a Cingular plan with 'pay as you go' Media Net access. I also own Total Recorder which allows me to take sound files and save them to any sound properties (file format, bitrate, stereo/mono, etc.,) and length I need to in order to conform with my Razr's specifications. Can someone answer these questions for me?

1) What is the largest MP3 file size and bitrate that the Razr, using Cingular as its carrier, can handle?

2) I've tried sending MP3 files to my phone by emailing it as an attachment to the Cingular MMS domain for my phone <myPhoneNo>@mms.mysingular.com. When it gets to my phone it either says that the file is corrupt or that it is an invalid format. Either way, it strips the attachment.

Someone sent me a polyphonic ringtone as a multimedia message and that worked fine. I also purchased two mp3 ringtones and those work fine although in this case, when I got the message, I was directed to a web site to download the purchased ringtone.

If this doesn't work, I know I'll have to get a USB bluetooth device for my laptop and then some drivers and or software to transfer the files but shouldn't I be able to email mp3 ringtones I create to my cell phone?

I'm new to all of this stuff and I've been fighting with it for three weeks now which is when I changed to Cingular and bought the razr.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
