Ringtones on chocolate

Since I can’t use the music on the transflash card for ringtones, (I think I’ve mentioned before how verizon choose to butcher their phones, thus disabling lots of yummy features), and I can’t get a data cable for the phone until the 27th (don’t ask) I had to go find another way to get decent tones without paying $2.99. It’s not that I think $2.99 is a lot of money…well, yeah actually I do think $2.99 is a lot of money for a ringtone, so I ain’t paying it. I’m not a ringtone fanatic, but I can’t have a phone that beeps, or bops, or plays a whinny tune.
Anyway, this is what I did.
- Take one of your favourite mp3’s and open it in audacity
- Clip it to around 23 seconds (ample length for a ringtone)
- Export mp3
- Go ringtone uploader and get it sent to your phone.
- Once it arrives to your phone, go to options and save as a ringtone.
Works for me until the cable arrives.
Why didn’t you just upload it using vtext and email it to your phone thus bypassing funformobile? I hear you ask. Because I could never get vtext to accept the upload that’s why; File to big, file in the wrong format, sample rate to high etc etc etc, and got fed up of trying.

mary on 
all of them that i try and send say they are too big…any suggestions?
How big are you making them. Mine was trial and error,I think the ones that worked were between 60 and 90K I think I deleted after uploading so I can’t go check.
