I have not tried very hard but I have not been able to convert a .wav file to a nokia ringtone and upload onto my phone. (So many other things to do ahead of this) I just a soon purchase it for 2 bucks someplace.

I will try to convert that wav file above.

My purpose is to have this reel sound only tied to my fishing buddies in the address book, so when someone calls me relating to fishing I know from the screaming drag that it is important, otherwise I get the standard ringtone which means it is not important.

I HATE cellphones, yet I feel like I can't live without mine. I upgrade to a new phone about every 18 months. I've had cheapo "free phones" and top end expensive ones. Price seems to make no difference in the way they perform or whether or not they will crap the bed.
I have my current one set up so that when I turn it off or on, it makes NO sound, such as some annoying jingle tone thingy. If I have a voice mail waiting, it vibrates ONCE and never makes any sound.
Regurdless of what model phone I may be using, my ringtone is Always just the simplest telephone ring sound. I find custom and/or "whacky" ringtones to be Very annoying.
Having said all this, I think having a screaming reel ring tone set for calls from fishing partners may be the best idea I've ever heard reguarding cellies. Maybe it would be possible to add someone screaming "Fish On!" in the background!

I am getting close..last night I got the screaming reel/fishon wav file, edited it somewhat and converted to a ring tone and even had it sent to my phone but I am having some minor cell-internet trouble downloading to the phone itself, I will work on that later tonight. I think I can do this.

If I get it working I'll tell you the steps, it sounds awesome.

Jim, check your voice mail

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I heard it go off in the other room, listened to the screaming reel voice mail you left (and heard the chuckle in the background)...I didn't recognize the number but did a reverse search and saw it was you.

Your name will be set to a screaming reel ringtone
