Yesterday i went and upgraded my phone through verizon, i upgraded from the vx7000 to the vx8300. i love the phone a lot, i got a 256mb microsd card with the phone. so i put some mp3 files on there to let my phone play them, today i add some pics for wallpapers and etc. now im onto ringtones.
formerly i used mobile 17 to upload and create my ringtones, loved the site. now my phone isnt listed there to choose from so i need an alternative. every site i go on says differently; so right now im sitting here scratching my head....i picked out a song i want, took it into cdex and converted it to wav then opened up windows sound recorder and cropped it. converted it back to mp3 and now i realized i dont have a bitpim cable or whatever that is.
is there any way i can email this file to myself or put it on my microsd card to set as a ringtone? thanks in advance and sorry if this was discussed many times before.

Re: I'm Really Stuck, Ringtone Help.
Yes. Rename the mp3 file to a .mid extension (so it's like song.mid), if you haven't done so already. Then attach it to an email and send it to [email protected] (example if your number is 1-234-567-8910, you would send it to [email protected]). It will be received as a picture message on your phone. When you view the pix message, you can choose to save the sound as a ringtone.

Wow...thats one of the old package's ( I have that one too for $5 a month).
Just do as abw say's and you'll be ok. Just remember that you only have 50 non Verizon text's that you can send.

I wish I still had that plan. I upgraded from the $5/month plan when I got my new 8300, which was a stupid decision. I got $100 off the phone for signing a new contract but I'll end up paying more because now I'm paying $10/month for the text/pix plan. So I actually lost money by signing a contract, and now I'm bound to a contract. Stupid.

Re: I'm Really Stuck, Ringtone Help.
You don't really have to change the mp3 file to a .mid to get them to work on your phone. Send me a pm and I can tell you how to enable mp3 on your phone. I found this trick on the web, and I don't know if i will get in trouble for mentioning a phone mod on here or not.

You should be able to, no problem...
With a micro SD card and a reader writer you can save appropriately cropped and named files to the SD card and send them to your phone using th directions found in my post here

Try bitpim. You can convert mp3's with it or just use windows media player. It converts before it moves mp3 to phone.
