This one is easier than I expected it to be. The essential piece is that you need a sound clip of 30 seconds or less. You can either use Audacity, PolderbitS or other editing software to chop up a full song or you can simply go to a bestbuy.com or other site that has 30 second preview clips that they allow you to download. How you get the 30 second clip saved to your computer is irrelevent, the next step is the important one.
Every Verizon Wireless number gets two email addresses generated automatically; “your 10 digit phone number @vtext.com” and “your 10 digit phone number @vzwpix.com” the difference of course being one is for email and one is for pix/flix messages. This allows you to email and picture or text message right to someone’s phone which could probably be in a seperate tips section itself but i’ll combine them in the interest of saving space.
What you need to do is go on your home email, whatever it is and address an email to your ten digit phone number @vzwpix.com (example 7275555123@vzwpix.com). Next, select the button to add an attachment and select your 30 second clip (must be in MIDI or mp3 format). Send the pix message.
It will take several minutes for your message to reach the phone. I’ve had? a couple? take up to 12 hours to arrive in my phone’s inbox.
Here is the only tricky part. If your phone has a memory card in it, remove it before you read the pix message.
When the message comes through, view it. It should play the song on your phone. Press the options button and elect to save music/sound or whatever similar option your phone may have. This is why taking out the card is important. At this step it will try as a default to save the clip to your card. If it saves to your card, you can not set it as a ringtone. If you remove the card it needs to save to the phone to complete the request and saves the 30 second clip in “MY SOUNDS” folder.
Finally, go to my sounds folder, select the sound you just sent yourself, then press option -> set as -> ringtone. Thats it! You are set.?
I have tried this? on my? RAZR V3M and know it works.? Several of my friends have made this work on other phone models as well.? Currently, my ringtone is “I Have Not Forgotten” by the Inspirations, but previously I had “God Handled It All” by Gold City.? Both sound great.? Just be sure when you edit your ringtone to not have the volume level too high because the sound gets distorted easily on a cell phone tiny speaker.
