You have to email the link to the song to your phone and then the phone will download it.

**OnyxHatch** · 07-13-2005, 11:51 AM

ya... thats right. how do i find out what my phone's email addy is?

**B16a2 Civic** · 07-13-2005, 11:54 AM

what phone will this work for?

**A.P. Photography** · 07-13-2005, 11:57 AM

I know it worked with my cingular phone but not sure about other phones.

Depends on who you have as to what the email addy will be. It is just like sending a text message to a phone

**OnyxHatch** · 07-13-2005, 11:57 AM

almost all mp3 phones from cingular, some t-mobiles and sprints. i remember julio posted a complete "how to" on how to do it step by step

When your phone rings does it play actual songs like with words and all or is it just tones? MP3 phone plays actual songs.

when u go to e-mail it to yourself dont put anything in the subject line, and in the body, hit enter then paste the link in it... the phone will do the rest

**Nittanys1** · 07-13-2005, 02:40 PM

**Importdreamer56** · 07-13-2005, 02:42 PM

if you don't know if your phone plays mp3 rings...get off the internet

**B16a2 Civic** · 07-13-2005, 02:48 PM

i get actual ringtones...if your just wanting ringtones go to
www.3gforfree.com ON YOUR PHONE!! not the pc, but yeah...i get some ringtones from sprint cause they are clearer, so i hear words and the music good

**boosted1jz** · 07-13-2005, 02:49 PM

^^ go to www.walmart.com go to the music section, look up whatever song u want to, there should be a 30 sec mp3 clip of some of the songs, right click and go to properties, from there save the link and e-mail it to your phone

**bigb996** · 07-13-2005, 02:52 PM

**B16a2 Civic** · 07-13-2005, 02:55 PM

i went to the music section......do i go to the music downloads for 88 cents or the other thing?

**Importdreamer56** · 07-13-2005, 03:02 PM

www.3gforfree.com...they only have Polyphonic ringtones

**B16a2 Civic** · 07-13-2005, 03:06 PM

no, they have real ringtones if your phone supports them...theres even a section on 3gforfree that says...real ringtones...

**Importdreamer56** · 07-13-2005, 03:08 PM

gotta pay for the real ringtones...sucks and wachovia won't let me go to the walmart section where you get the music

**B16a2 Civic** · 07-13-2005, 03:10 PM

went threw my saved files and found the original tutorial...

Cingular tutorial

if you have a phone from cingular that does mp3's, and you have MMS service and wireless web service, you can do this.
go to www.walmart.com
go the the music section..NOT THE 88 CENT DOWNLOADS...go to where you buy the CD's
go to a CD of your choice, select it...you will see that you can listen to a 30 second clip of the song. RIGHT CLICK IT...and select copy shortcut

Next...go to your email. for the email addy of your phone it is [email protected] (X=area code, Y=prefix, P=last 4 of your phone number) for tmobile and sprint, to get the email addy you need to send an email from your phone to your personal email and then you can simply reply to it, but make sure you delete the whole text field before you send the reply with the link only

in the body of the email, hit enter, so there is one blank space from the top, then on the second line paste that shortcut in the message body.
Send that email to your phone.

on your phone you will get that message, with that link in it, you should be able to hit GO TO with that link highlighted. your phone should start downloading it automatically and then you just follow the directions as they come up

This has been tested on my phones, which is a motorola v551, and a motorola V3 RAZR phone, it should work on the v400, v600, and possibly the v300...all on cingular

THIS WILL NOT work on Nextel, Alltel, or verizon
this may work on sprint phones if they can play mp3's
this may work on tmobile if they do not block such 3rd party downloads like Nextel, alltel and verizon
Downloading items on cingular require you to pay or have an internet package. visit
cingular.com or review your bill to see what you have if you dont know. otherwise its at most 1C per KB used. if you are on the 1MB package, you can DL 3-5 songs and not go over the 1MB you have per month. MMS charges will also apply

**B16a2 Civic** · 07-13-2005, 03:39 PM

i think cingular can, my friend has a cingular and he downloads off there, real ringtones

**boosted1jz** · 07-13-2005, 03:40 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOO do not go to the pay for ringtones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

while in music, find whatever song u want...... right click the mp3 and select properties....... on the properties page copy the http...... and then go to your e-mail and e-mail it to yourself... also follow the other steps i provided earlier

chris

BTW i have cingular and i have TONS of stupid ringtones.... like knight rider, a-team, sponge bob square pants, and many many others

**B16a2 Civic** · 07-13-2005, 03:44 PM

they dont have Jeezy

they only have the one under 88 cent downloads

**Julio** · 07-13-2005, 04:14 PM

**99ITRGIRL** · 07-13-2005, 06:36 PM

**Nittanys1** · 07-13-2005, 06:50 PM
