I'm not sure if your phone has that ability, try the following (except not with mp3s, i believe your phone probably only has midi, if anything at all...
1. Open up any .mp3 file in a free music editor program like Audacity (or soundforge  ) and clip
out part of the file that you wish to make into a ringtone, keeping it at
about 30 seconds.
2. For best sound keep the .mp3 at 24 bit sample rate, 44khz frequency and
stereo, no need to change any of these attributes.
3. Change the encoder bit rate down to between 48 and 64, then resave the
.mp3 making sure that it is not bigger than 300kb. Anything encoded under
48 bit rate will sound bad and anything over 64 is a waste and the file size
becomes to big.
4. Find your new 30 second .mp3 on your hard drive, make sure you have
file extensions turned on in windows (explorer/tools/folder options) and
then right click the file and change the extension from .mp3 to .mid
5. Open up your email and attach the .mid file, make sure that you have
nothing in the subject or body of the email. Email the file to your phone
at yourphonenumber@vzwpix.com .If you dont subscribe to a call package
from verizon each time you send or recieve something via vwzpix.com you
will be charged 25 cents, still way cheaper than buying ringtones.
6. After you email the .mid file to your phone it may take a couple of minutes
before your phone announces that you have a pix message. Open up your
pix message, play or preview your new ringtone if you want and then just
just save sound. There is no need to rename it or change file extension.
7. Sometimes you will get a message along the lines of "messege cant be
recieved, file is a 100000 bytes", just click view message anyway and
the file will be there. |
just did that nad i can't hear the sound when i try to save it says it exists already... i have a samsung sch-a950

sorry i took so long to reply. Ok let me give the rundown.
Here's the requirements for the Wal-mart method to work:
Verizon Camera Phone (if it says you need to go to vzwpix.com, then your phone is not supported)
Editing sound files: there's a great free program called audacity, find it at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
you will also need LAME mp3 encoder found at http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm
As to the vx8100 problem, Verizon probably got greedy and blocked the wal-mart method. But do not fear, If you get a USB data cable
(on ebay for 10 dollars, radioshack for 20 dollars, and Verizon stores for 40 dollars)
and download bitpim at http://www.bitpim.org/
you can send all the ringtones in mp3 format and midi format that you want.
If anybody has any more questions post them here.

Verizon most likely figured out that it was possible to use the wal-mart method, and made all new camera phones either not accept the file or make it save to a folder where you can't apply the sound as a ringtone. I know this sux, but Verizon is very very greedy, so they want you to use their ringtones. If you want to get free ringtones and verizon has blocked the walmart method, then you'll have to get a cable that connects your phone to the computer and allows you to send ringtones to the phone from the computer, LG phones can use a program called BitPim, Motorola phones use Motorola Mobile Phone Tools.
Post here if you have any more questions,
