At the risk of looking like spam...
I have no connection with this site, but I like it
because it saves me money and it flips a finger at
the grubby cellphone companies that try to rake in
 extra cash by forcing you to buy what should be free.

See, I got frustrated because the LG Fusic phone I got
with my Sprint plan didn't have the capability to allow
me to load mp3 ringers from my computer.  Instead they wanted me
to buy ringers and download them.  That's just plain wrong.

So I eventally found this site:

http://www.funformobile.com/pages/ringtone/uploadRingtone.php

What you do is create an MP3 ring tone, or use a popular
song in mp3 format.  You goto  this site and and upload
it.  Then you get a text message on your phone with a
special URL that you open to download the ringer into your
phone.  Completely bypassing the need to buy ringtones from
Sprint or others.

It also works for screen savers and wakllpaper too.

   Of course you have to give them your phone number and the the contact
info is limited to a form that you send to them.

Even more likely that was a spam...since the newer phones let you
transfer MP3's in to use as ring tones, anyway...no website or special
software needed.  I had mine set to play the Beatles "Good morning,
good morning" (just the rooster crowing part and beginning riff of
course).

  I have my phone set for whatever ring sounds the most like a standard
land line so when I hear anything else in a crowd I know it is not my
phone. Amazing how few people use that type of ring.

I expect they don't....it's even more amazing how many have the
default Nokia or Motorola ring...and then multiple people go for the
phone when it goes off in a store...heheh.
