About four months ago, Brian and I got a new cell phone plan. It has been fine, however, at the time I never thought about how much I would be using my new phone for texting. I have texted before, but this time around I seem to be texting more and more. So, we just went for the free phones.
Yesterday was my birthday and I have been telling Brian I really wanted a new phone for my birthday. So, last night, before dinner, we went out to look at new phones. We are not eliagble for an upgrade, so anything we looked at would be full price. My dream would have been the new my touch from Tmobile, but at $500... well you get the idea.
So, we went to the Tmobile store... well ... booth in the mall. It turns out the phone I was willing to get was no longer carried there and the new version is a bit different and I don't like it. I was talking to the guy and he kept telling me the phone was the same. I was telling him it was different. The new version is sleaker, smaller, thinner and the qwerty keyboard is smaller. Not what I wanted. So, we walked down to Radio Shack.
The sales man there and I talked for a bit and I was going to settle on another phone. He informed me that you didn't need to buy just a regular Tmobile phone, but you could get one of their pre-paid phones and it would work. The savings was astonishing. So, while I am looking at the phone, he took another customer. Brian than runs into someone he knows and we are talking.
The guy never came back to me... stupid sales person. Bri's friend suggests I go to Best Buy. So, I do. There is the phone I want in prepaid for less than half of what I could buy it with out it being prepaid! No brainer in my opinion!!! Brian and Emily went to get the car and meet me. I called him and told him I was ready and that I had bought my cell. It's pretty cool. It has a full qwerty keyboard and some other cool features. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get my music from the memory card to the ring tone section. The manual reads like greek. I'll figure it out at some point.
I will have to post something soon about my experince with the DSL company. It's utterly crazy! But maybe when I am less astonished and upset.

It might very well depend on if your provider allows that kind of functionality. I have seen the same phone on two different services have very different options as to ring tones and music and what you can do with them.
Try doing a search on google for your exact phone model and making ringtones and you will usually find a good guide on exactly what you need to do to get them on there and transferred to the phone to use them.
