(Most ringtones are 15-30 seconds long, with your Verizon Cell Phone, 30 seconds is perfect). Find any song, or any artist that you like, and get ready to record. Once you've found the song, or your favorite part of it, pause it. Go back to your phone and hit OK, you will need ot listen for a beep which indicates recording has begun. Once you've got your sound clip, hit the button again to STOP recording. Most phones will automatically save the sound file - and usually the newest recoding is first at the list.
