Forum: The Classroom Topic: Nokia ring tones started by: blanalex Posted by blanalex on May 26 2001,18:36
I just bought myself a Nokia 5165, and I'm already playing with the programmable ring tones Does anybody here has some great links for free ring tones ? I'll begin myself; here's Eiffel 65' My Console in RTTTL: code: and you can check < http://www.montrealsoft.com/nokia > for some ring tones (binary format -- begins with //SCKL) and operator logos. ------------------ Posted by mqa on May 26 2001,20:08
i was under the impression that you could get ringtones and logos in the US except for the fact that the greedy ass service providers disallow it so you have to buy from them.

Well, ringtones and operator logos are nothing more than SMS messages, or you can upload them directly to your phone with a direct serial link.So even if your provider doesn't allow them by SMS, you still got the serial link to upload. ------------------ Posted by mqa on May 26 2001,21:52
i got some software that allows me to send sms directly to the phone via infrared, so how do i go about sending a ringtone?

hmmm i dunno, this is my first cell phone, and i had it thursday, and there's no infra-red link------------------ Posted by blanalex on May 27 2001,02:27
quote: I will shed some light to you, Montréal (as in montrealsoft) is the name of a city in Canada. To be more precise, in Québec, the largest province of Canada, about 80km (that's 50mi for you, americans) from where i stay. you can take a look at the french thread too: < http://www.detonate.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000989.html > ------------------ Posted by beuges on May 27 2001,17:19
I get to download ringtones and operator logo's for free from < www.mtnice.co.za > but you have to log on and stuff. Its free, though. I'm not sure if it'll allow you to subscribe if you're not an mtn subscriber, though. But, hey, it's worth a shot. If you get yourself a serial cable to your nokia phone, you can get a whole lot of software that allows you to connect to your phone and create your own logos and ringtones.

my mate got himself a sony mobile for like £140 . well i guess if you can afford itbut whats cool about it is that you can upload wav files to it to play as ringtones. so his phone goes "[arnie]fuck you asshole[/arnie]" which is kinda cool ------------------ Posted by StanVanDam on May 28 2001,15:41
What kind of serial cable do u need to link your mobile fone to yer computer? Where does the hookup go?
Posted by Dark Knight Bob on May 29 2001,13:04
i think it comes with the phone or you should be able to just buy one from any mobile phone retailer. theres no reason why they shouldnt stock some------------------ |
