BitPim's site there is a warning about using BitPim with this phone:
"The internal software in this phone is far too fragile and shoddy. There is a very real risk of locking up the phone so badly it won't reboot and has to be replaced through trivial operations. Consequently this phone is not supported by BitPim and you should not use it with BitPim even if it appears to work."
See http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/testhelp/)

I use BitPim. As long as you only use the part where you browser part.

Which software are you using? Other users make it sound as if most of the available software does not work with the Telus 8900.

I am with Telus and have the 8900 phone, using a data cable you can upload MP3 (renamed to .MID) and they will play as ringtone.

The cable is the way to go if you want playable ringtones (or wallpaper and free games).

I bought my cable on ebay and it cost me $23.00 Cdn with transport ($8 US cable + $8 US transport). The software is freely available.

IF IT IS THE TELUS CDM 8900T YOU WONT BE ABLE TO DO SO THE ONLY RINGTONES THAT YOU CAN USE ARE THE ONES YOU DOWNLOAD FROM THE TELUS SITE VIEW MY POST ON TELUS SUCKS FOR DETAILS.... (APPLIES ONLY TO THE TELUS AUDIOVOX CDM-8900T)

Hey, I own this phone as well. Coincidentally I am also in Toronto, Canada. I noticed you mentioned that your phone, the Audiovox 8900 plays midi's and MP3's? It plays MP3's?!?!?! I own the phone and I didn't know that. Are you entirely sure? Secondly, did using the left and right keys work when looking through your audio files?

When you go into your settings to change your ringtone, you say you only see the ringtones that came with the phone, right? well just press left or right when you get to that screen and see if the ringtones you have downloaded come up.

maybe you should call your phone manufacturer and ask them. they will probably know.

Yeah that's correct. They're under sound clips but I can only listen to them or send them to other people. Then under ring tones they aren't listed at all. Trying to find info online but I can only find information on Verizon which I'm assuming is an American carrier, I'm using Telus in Toronto.

so what your saying is you already got the tones in your phone, but you can assign them as you main ringer. well i really don't know since i don't have your phone. the only way is to look around on the internet or on the forums here for information on how to do that.

Sorry I have an audiovox 8900. It will play midi and mp3. I am uploading midi files to my own personal webspace. When I go to the site with my wap browser it plays them no problem and I can save them to the phone. The problem is how do I use them as a ring tone? I can only play them by going to Do More, then Sounds, then Sound Clips, but it doesn't let me assign them. When I try to change a ring tone the only option I have is to use the built in music, sounds, or the ones I've downloaded from Telus butnot the Midis I downloaded myself...

also, if you don't have a cable or infrared with a uploading program,you can always upload it to a wap website from the regular internet. search around. i htink you can geet free wap space.

what kind of phone do you have? first you have to find out what type of ringtone format your phone plays. mine plays mmf format so i use psm player. it can also convert to other formats.

I downloaded it but what am I supposed to convert them to? When I save it as a converted file and point my wap browser to it it just shows a bunch of junk on the screen instead of playing the sound like a midi does.

Okay I will, do I need a cable for this? I don't have one.
