is it possible to add your very own mp3 ringtones to my 7139c phone? if so, how and is it free? if not, i assume u have to go to cingular site on your phone and purchase it...are there any free ones out there? if so, what website and how do u install it? thx in advance.

I'll assume you are referring to the 7130c, which does indeed support MP3 ringtones. Email yourself the following link. Open the message upon reception and highlight the link. Click the trackwheel and select Get Link. After it loads and starts playing, scroll to the rightmost button and click the trackwheel. You should have an option to save the file and to save it as the default ringtone. Save the file, opting to set it as your default if you so choose. Manage (set, play, delete) your ringtones in Profiles. That said, try this relatively loud bugle call† on for size:

but is it free and how do i get my own mp3 into my device?

use this file as a sample. take your own mp3 and chop it down to a reasonable size (you won't be able to play an entire song in the time it takes your voicemail to pick up), and recompress it using the same settings as the sample.

Easily said, but how exactly so we do this? Is there a free MP3 editor out there somewhere (I'm broke after buying my 8700c and won't be doing this very often)? Only setting I saw was the 48kHz and the 64kpbs...anything else important? Size for example?
