MoroneSaxatilis,
I feel your pain. However, can you record a brief (15 sec or so) voice message on your phone? If so, you can probably record the reel sound and set it as a ringtone without downloading anything.
there might also be other software that does this as well that works with your provider, again, I am no expert.... I think the problem is that each company has their own format for playing music or tones. Some newer phones will play mp3s, others require special encoding. Your best bet may be just to record it if you can with the phone directly as Slipknot suggested and avoid the entire format issue.
Sandman...
I sure appreciate all the help and I see what you mean about the time and effort that goes into this. I was able to D/L a shareware ringtone maker from Tucows on my other machine and email it to myself. I was able to use it to create a ringtone using the last part of the .wav and it sounds really cool. I was able to use the software to send a text msg to my phone containing the URL for D/Ling the file onto my phone. there's just ONE little problem: My phone SUCKS!
I studied the users manual for my phone,and it's either the phone, Verizon's web service, or both that seem to be very proprietary and I am unable to D/L the file from the txt msg to the fone. It seems to only run the "Get It Now" stuff and the web service is 5 bux/month and proprietary as well, from what I can see. My phone is not record capable either. None of this really matters anyway. We are beyond our 18 month replacement cycle and we are planning on getting new phones right after Christmas and adding our oldest (13 year old girl) to our Family Share plan and getting her her first phone. I'll make sure that the one I get is capable of doing what I need it to do. By the way, the proggie I used is called CreateRingtone! and had a 3 Cow rating from Tucows. It's really simple to run and has a 15 day trial period.
All this from a guy (me) who claimed in an earlier post that I hate annoying custom ringtones! BAHAHAHAHAHA!
that has to one of the funniest things.... I d/l it... used camtasia studio to edit it.... then converted it toan mp3 to keep the quality.... now all i have to do is get everybodies phone number and I'm all set.... lmao.
