My girlfriend just got an offer for a cheap upgrade to the SYNC (Samsung SGH-A707). Is it possible to transfer mp3's to the phone via Bluetooth and use them as ringtones? I can do that on my Sony Ericsson Z520A, but I know that some providers/phones make you go through their pay services to get ringtones. We'd just like to know before going through with the upgrade.
Thanks,
Jeremy

I'd say try it but I've heard that some phones do and some don't had a friend who had a high end samsung slider for t-mobile (kinda like the d-807 phone but not exactly) and it did NOT let you use your own mp3's for ringtones. I would just try it.
Basically any Cingular phone w/ bluetooth can do what you're talking about, Cingular and Tmobile 2 of the very few carriers that allow BT File Transfer AKA OBEX Object Push. as for using them for ringtones, if you cut them using a mp3 editor such as Audacity, and take the micro SD out you can store them to the phone and use them as ringtones, in my experience using a full song from a memory card sucks as it only plays 20 seconds into the song, so you may not even get to the Chorus, so I crop songs for ringtones

Cool. Thanks for that. I'm used to editing them down to about 30 seconds (5 rings at 6 seconds/ring, which is typical), converting to mono, and usually lowering the bit rate.
