Ok everyone, so i finally found out how to make my own ringtones and send them to your Verizon Wireless Phone... Here are the steps to what you do.
1. Download Media Audio Cutter here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Other-AUDIO-Tools/Media- Audio-Cutter.shtml
(It is just a free trial version and you can only cut 15 seconds of audio but its just perfect for a ringtone, also you can do as many edits as you like in 10 days of the free trial, or just buy it.)
2. Open Up an mp3 in the program and mark and edit where you want. Then Save it where you want as (.wav) file.
3. Go to your email (it doesnt matter what email you use) and send it to xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com (replace the x's w/ your ten digit phone number)
With the email, attach the (.wav) file to the email and send it. You should be able to recieve it as a text message and save the ringtone to your phone. You should be able to recieve it within half an hour.
There you Go!

I think so, unless you can send it through your moble service provider from email. the xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com only works if you have verizon.

I just tried that Media Audio Cutter for my 8300 and it worked PERFECTLY. Thanks for the tip, this makes the phone 90 times better.

I used this method about 2 weeks ago and it worked great! I sent mp3 files to my phone for ring tones. Now, when I try the email comes back and it's rejected. I didn't run out of memory... do you know what's wrong?

you know... i wonder if verizon started rejecting that method.. the same started happening to me two weeks ago. BUT. I have found a much faster method in which you can put them on your phone via USB cord. (assuming you have one) this is what you want to do:
1.Make sure you have a USB cord for the connection from your phone to you computer.
2. Download the audio editing program Audacity, it takes a little messing around to learn it if you dont know how already but you get the hang of it. You can download it here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
3. Next, download the program BitPim. You can download it here: http://www.bitpim.org/
4. Install both programs and get aquainted with how to use them and the basic functions of each, cause i didnt know what i was doing first time i got them but you will learn them over time.
5. Once you learn Audacity, when you make the selection of the Music file and want to save the "seletion" (File>Export Selection as Mp3), you first need to download the "lame" plugin for Audacity. You can get that here: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~raa110/audacity/lame.html
. . .When you export the mp3 and it asks you to open the plugin, you want to open the file you
downloaded: Lame_enc.dll
6. Save that file where you wish and open BitPim. Connect your phone and to to the ringers section of the Phone. Then: Right click in the window>add>(open the ringtone file) then send the data to your phone and viola!! You know have the ringtones you want
P.S. BitPim is great to manage other stuff too!!! Pics, Music, Contacts whatever
----->This looks complicated but its very easy <----

It works, but seriously, the ringtones sound like absolute crap. HOW can I prevent that?
Edit: I tried to delete the ringtones from BitPim, and that works. But, they're still on my phone, and I can't delete them. It gives me an option, but it won't they're still there. Please help!
Edit 2: Fixed that, and fixed my first question: Doesn't matter how big the ringtone, it'll still work! And I put everything to 160kbits per second, fantastic. God bless you!
