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 once were able to add ringtones to a Verizon phone free from various websites, but 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.

1
Log onto your email account. You can use any email account to do this.
-
2
Enter the phone number as the recipient of the email. Don't put in any spaces or hyphens; the numbers should run together, such as 1234567890. You must put the entire phone number in, or the email will not work.
-
3
End the email address with "@vzwpix.com." This will send the email as if the ringtone were a picture message. The email address with the above phone number, then, would read "1234567890@vzwpix.com."

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 five 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. T

I've found that the best and easiest thing to do is to just upgrade to a smarter phone. Most phones these days that are a little higher quality than "phone first" devices have the ability to hold a memory card and load ringtones off of that memory card. A blackberry is one of the easiest to load ringtones on. All you have to do is throw some MP3's on your memory card and tell the blackberry to play your MP3 when your phone rings. What's awesome about phones that let you do this is you can usually assign specific ringtones to specific people and even specific ringtones to text messages, emails, etc. Thanks for the article! -

Oddly, I can send crap FROM my phone, to my computer, but not TO my phone FROM the computer. So this EHOW is useless. When I send ringtones over Bluetooth to my LG Verizon phone, it refuses to do anything with them but play them. I don't know how they have it locked down, and BITPIM used to work, but they updated their phones to lock it out again. Isn't it silly that they are trying Soooooo hard to keep you from using a ringtone?
