Setting Ringtones on a LG SHINE TU720R Through Rogers Wireless

Hello, I've just recently bought a New LG Shine TU720R Model phone.. I am with Rogers Wireless Provider. My problem is that Rogers somehow has a monopoly on their Ringtones, that you have to download them from there website through your phone, if not.. you cannot make them your Ringtone.

I have tried downloading Ringtones through 3rd Party websites and also, by hooking up my phone directly to my computer. It will transfer fine, However under my settings page, Audio & Ring Tunes, it will only show me my 10 preset MP3 Ringtones.. However under my Media page Audio & Ring Tunes it will show my 10 preset Mp3's also the downloaded Mp3's from the net, and computer.. My phone will recognize them, and play them as a media file.. but when I click on the options menu, I've got the 4 lists.. #1 Send Via.. #2 Delete.. #3 rename.. and #4 Information..

However if I download through the Rogers website.. the ringtones will appear in both my settings page, and my media page.. also my menu list changes from #1 to Set as Ringtune..

So somehow my phone knows whether or not the MP3 has been downloaded directly from Rogers (a monopoly, also like $4 each song) or if I used a 3rd party or from my computer..

One other quick thing.. is under the information for the 2 songs that I did download from the Rogers site.. it is a file ( *.dm) but the icon does say that it is a MP3.. I don't know if this matters at all..

So if anyone knows anything about this.. and how to bypass paying to use ringtones.. I'd appreciate it.. I don't know if I need to Unlock my phone.. or get some kind of crack that will allow me to use my own media as ringtones..

Thx a lot, Mike

I've got the exact same problem, except I'm on AT&T. My new Shine phone sees the MP3 files I send to it via bluetooth, but when I try to set them as a ringtone it says "file too large for ringtone."

I'd also love to know if anyone knows how to get around this or a crack.

On AT&T, I believe they must be under 300kb and less that 20 seconds long to be set as ringtone, otherwise you get that error message.

Thanks... I tried that and it worked.
