ringtones

I have been scouring the net for ringtones and most places want my cell number. I am apprehensive to give those sites my cell digits for many reasons. Should I?

I have a BB curve 8330 and a Verizon plan. I found a couple sites that had some free ringtones. One was pretty decent. Thanks for the help. I will post the site I used as soon as I dig it up.

Here is the site I used: www dot zedge dot net ( The site restricts me from posting links)

I saved them and then emailed them to my phone. Worked well. Thanks again.

x2. How many times would someone want to change the tone they have? Once every 6months... maybe?

While I agree the prices of ringtones can be exorbitant, I do not think they qualify as "scams". A scam involves deception and/or not being delivered the goods after paying. Just saying, this is more of a rant thread then a scam/fraud one.

Ringtones-for-money is not a scam. More on the order of a gouge. You can thank the free enterprise system for part of that (if you offer something for sale, somebode, somewhere will buy one). Thank the RIAA for most of the rest. They're the money-grubbers behind the Napster lawsuit and lots of other gun things.

My take on it is this: If I buy a song, I'll buy it one time. And I'll proceed to use it for any damn thing I please, short of broadcasting or commercial DJing. Making your own ringtones is easy and quick. I believe the artist is entitled to some & in return for the song. All God's creatures gotta eat, after all. But use iTues and iPhone ringtones as an example, for a minute. Say I buy a CD for ten bucks. About a dollar per song, give or take. And I find one obscure song on that disc that would be the schiznit as a ringtone on my shiny new iPhone. So I get into iTunes, only to find that I have to buy the song from them (again! Remember, I already bought the CD.) There goes another buck. Oh, and it'l be yet another buck for iTunes to make a ringtone from it. And out of that three bucks, the artist might actually see a quarter, if he's lucky. The rest goes to record labels, lawyers, the RIAA, and other assorted bottomfeeders. Crap!

The software is out there, free. Buy the song (once!), make your own ringtone, and relax.
