Need a ringtone, its too damn hard

hooskins · 06-15-2006, 12:16 AM

Ok guys, I really need some help. I need to get some ringtones for my phone...its a motorola i830, nextel service. None of the sites are working, even the pay ones. I am wondering if its just a nextel thing, but it is pissing me off like crazy, I just want free ringtones like everyone else, please somebody help.

if any of you guys have a pay service do u mind checking to see if my phone is supported?

Be very careful with those ring-tone sites man...some of them will rip you off. I once used some website to download a ring tone and though nothing of the purchase (the ring tone was 99c). I check my cell bill once in a while and when I checked it 5 months later I discovered that those bastards were charging me $11.99 a month for a service I didn't sign up for.

If I were you I would only buy tones from my carrier or at least disable the ability for third party companies to charge you via your phone before venturing out and hunting for ring-tones online.

www.3gforfree.com from your phones browswer menu. Im not sure if your phone is supported or not, but all the tones there are completely free.

Ringtones suck, stick with the stock ones that come with the phone.

If I hear one more person's phone ring with some stupid top 40 song...

A "ringtone" should consist of nothing more than "ring ring ring." Or "beep beep beep" if you prefer.

Who had the gay ass idea to make a telephone play a song when someone calls?

Why not have the toaster sing to you when the toast is done, or the microwave tell you a nice bedtime story when it's finished.

A lot of phones don't even come with normal "ring ring ring" tones anymore.

And THAT, my friend, is exactly why this world is so screwed up today.

lets market that idea. just think of all the people that would buy the ones that play hail to the redskins! or all of those college fight songs. I think we are on to something here mheisig

Maybe I'm just a grumpy ol' codger, but why can't I have a small, simple cellphone that's the size of a Bluetooth headset?? I want the ENTIRE damn phone to be JUST the headset. Voice dialing works fine so I don't need buttons, just turn it on and say a name or number. Simple as that.

I say leave the MP3 ringtones/broadband video/internet access/email/datebook/notepads/animated/singing/jack off assistant cellphone to the teenyboppers.

If you need the business functions in a small portable format, get a Blackberry or Treo. Watching video on a 1" screen is a joke, and if I hear the Pussycat Dolls play one more time when a phone rings, I swear I'm gonna snap.
