How to Email Ringtones to a Verizon Wireless Phone

Verizon Wireless allows users to add ringtones directly from their phones. These ringtones are not free, though. Users used to be able to add ringtones to a Verizon phone for free from different websites. However, Verizon has put a stop to this. You can still send your favorite ringtone to any Verizon Wireless phone without paying a nickel, though, simply by using your email. Here is how to email ringtones to a Verizon Wireless phone.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Log onto your email account. You can use any email account to do this, so your personal email account will suffice.

2. Enter the phone number as the recipient of the email. Don't put any spaces or quotations in between the numbers. In other words, the numbers should run together, such as 5555555555. You must put the entire phone number in, or the email will not work.

3. End the email with “@vzwpix.com.” This will send the email as if the ringtone were a picture message. The email with the above phone number, then, would read “[e-mail].”

4. Browse your computer for the ringtone you want to send to the Verizon Wireless number. Once you've found the song, attach it in the email.

5. Send the email to the phone. It should take no more than 5 to 10 minutes for the phone to receive the message. If the phone does not receive the message in that time, resend the email.

6. Open the message on the phone and select “Options.”

7. Scroll down until you see “Save as Ringtone.” Select that option, and the ringtone will be saved to your phone. That's all you need to do to email ringtones to your Verizon Wireless phone.
