go to tagtag.com, set up a WAP account, and upload MIDIs to your account. Then you can retrieve them via wireless web. All free.

Verizon sucks balls for apps (ringtones/backgrounds/games) you can have on your phone.
You have to use this Get It Now Bullshit, and everthing costs a ton of money. The ringtones are not nearly as good as those I've heard on friends phones, there is very little variety of backgrounds, and very few apps let you test them before having to pay.

I have AT&T and I don't know what their policy is for downloading ringtones over WAP. Might just be a problem with my phone. I agree that 2 dollars for a 20 second ringtone is ridiculous and I would never pay it either. I think those PC link cables are pretty expensive though so I might be stuck if this phone or service won't let me download ringtones, that tagtag.com place seems to be down on my phone too.
 
I got most everything for my T610 from myt610.net.

By the by, polyphonic really means its just a midi. Seriously, I have downloaded a full 2 minute version of the Dracula theme. So you can also get it there. I just dled them on to my computer, then emailed them to my phone.

They have a grip of free video game ones too. Super Mario Bros. theme is my current default tone, Zleda theme is one too :)

You the man El Papa. Street Fighter's Ken Stage is now my new ringtone. I used to just upload midis from vgmusic to my ftp and download, but this seems more convenient.

EDIT - They sound a lot better too, probably because the midis were designed as ringtones. Awesome.

Is there any way to download the midis from that polyphonicringtonez website? Some of the ringtones would sound great if they were cut a little.

What software can I use to edit midis by the way?
 
There's a program called PsmPlayer I use. Easy to use, you just have to listen to the MIDI and do some trial and error. You have to cut frames and stuff like that...

anyway, with tagtag.com, here's a few of my own tones:

Back In Black by AC/DC (20 secs) - 25109123143
Beastie Boys - Girls (19 secs) - 84630239567
Enter Sandman by Metallica (15 secs) - 43643123144
Seek and Destroy by Metallica (27 secs) - 22098123146

Instructions on retrieval

I haven't used this service yet, but Ringophone is only charging 59 cents. http://www.ringophone.com/

1. Get a bluetooth cellphone

2. Get a bluetooth adapter for your computer

3. Start downloading the MIDI/MP3 files of your choice

4. Transfer these files, quick and easy, to your cellphone

5. Aaaaaaaand done!

What about sites that let you d/l them to your desktop and upload them to your mobile with a data cable?
I'm not paying $5 extra a month for net access on a phone that i'll never browse with.....

God, it's threads like this that make me want to get a cellphone, even though I don't even need a cellphone.

I wish at least one of the videogame ones had a preview. But by GKB's post, they're good.

The other site posted has previews and VGmusic.com has a ton of midi's.
 
So is there any way around Verizon's aformentioned Get It Now bullshit? I actually bought a few ringtones and while cool, no way they were worth the $5.

www.3gupload.com looks like it works with some verizon phones, but you have to pay to become a member, so I can't be sure that it works. :(

Did you find software to do that? Or can your phone just take mp3s?

My phone takes MP3s...and I just about went insane after searching Google for a site that could convert the files. :)

Oh and if you want to upload some stuff, I have an FTP you can use. PM me if you want.

Can I use WAP to download them?
