Ringtones for my phone. help please?

i do not have internet connection, nor bluetooth. when i type 'free ringtones', it shows me bunch of websites where i can either download it to my comp. and transfer it to my phone thru bluetooth. OR, it shows me where i type in my phone number, and it sends me the ringtone (i guess). i am scared to do that because it might charge me for using the internet.





CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME???



go to phonezoo.com and make an account. its free. oh and you make the ring tones yourself :)

Do you think this is fair?

my dad got me a romur for my birthday . and he will not will not let me have texting and plus he will not let me pay for texting.



I'd be mad, considering that this IS a texting friendly phone. But be glad you have a cell phone. Tons of my friends don't have cell phones and we're 14. One of my friends just got a cell phone, and she's so ridiculously excited. Having a phone is not a right, and texting would cost your dad a lot. Texting plans are a lot because most people don't talk on the phone anymore, they text each other. So just wait it out, you'll be texting soon enough.




If you make an allowance or have a job, I don't think it's fair that he won't let you pay for it. The only thing I'd suggest is to talk to him - like an adult! Don't whine or anything. Speak to him and tell him why you think you should be allowed and how you'd be responsible with it.





If you wouldn't be responsible with it, or haven't been in the past, I think he has a valid reason for not allowing it. Sorry. Hope this isn't the case.




Fair is where they sell cotton candy!





Get a grip child! You should be thanking your lucky stars A. you have a Dad! B. He gave you a phone!





He probably does not want you texting because of all the bad things that can happen now adays with stupid teenagers "SEXTING" or texing dirty messages and pics.





If you need to tell someone something, CALL them on your shiny new phone. And when you are an adult, he can't tell you whether you can have texting or not.




Just be glad you got the phone, its a start. I think eventually he will see how responsible you are and loosen up a bit. Just enjoy the features that you do have. No, I don't think its fair but I think there has been so much negative stuff about perps out there he probably feels he's protecting you. Be glad he cares. You can always go on line and talk to us until he loosens up. (smile)




focus on the stuff you have and not on the stuff you want




that really sux sorry keep :)

What phone should I buy?

I am getting a new phone but do not know what to buy. I am currently looking at the Blackberry Bold, Blackberry Storm, Blackberry Curve 8900 and possibly the iPhone. Which phone should I buy and why? And can you tell me the plans for the each of the phones and their advantages / disadvantages. Thanks.



You should get the Blackberry Bold. I have an iPhone and I hate it! The Bold is easy to use and it looks really nice. The Bold is pretty much the nicest smartphone on the market. AT&T offers affordable rates for their smartphones. The Storm is on the Verizon network so if you're with AT&T it would be silly to switch just for that phone. And T-Mobile has crappy service so ignore the G1. If you need any more help, they have reviews on all the cell phones on the market on YouTube.




No question about it, you should get the Blackberry Bold. It is the best smart phone for the money and At&t is offering big rebates. If you trade with e-trade you can get one for as low as 99 bucks. I bought me and the fiance one and we love them. I have had many smart phones and these are by far the most flawless! One more thing I would not reccommend Tmobile service. At&t has the best coverage. Good Luck




Go to TMobile and get the G1 made by HTC and powered by Google. Every other smart phone is a joke




LG Dare. Its amazing. Way better than the iPhone. Im in love with my phone! You should really look into it.

How do you block someone on Att..?

whats att?

Blocking calls with verizon wireless company?

does anyone know if verizon wireless can block calls? i went on there website and it says they charge u 4.99 a month is there any other way?



sometimes you can go to phone settings then security then go to restrictions and go to calls the it should give you options incoming and out going and select contacts only which means only people in your contacts can contact you. or if you want to block your number when you call other people just enter *86 before marking the number.





hope this helped!! :)




Yes they can block numbers. Up to five numbers can be blocked for you free of charge. It is a temporary block for 90 days but does block both calls and txt in and out from phone. Does have to be called in right now but soon can be done online.





The 4.99 for usage controls is if you have more than 5 numbers you need blocked.

Buying a iPhone from a friend, What do I have to do for my plan?

I am buying an iPhone 2G (the first one) from a friend. I know I need to get a new SIM card for it, but to use the iphone do I have to change my current AT&T plan?



No, well it depends if you wanted the Internet plan with the iPhone then you need to change plans. I recommend you get the 3g or wait a bit because their is going to be a new iPhone comming out this year (I have friends that work in Apple that is making the new iPhones).

Can anybody tell me if the D900 Charger is the Same as the G600 / Omnia Charger.?

Is the fitting the same?





Ten POINTS!



No they are not.

I have a question about the LG voyager cell phone...?

so i decided i either want to get the LG voyager cell phone or the blackberry but i'm aiming more towards the LG voyager. anyways, i know that the LG voyager has a mp3 on it. does the mp3 play whole songs or just parts...please tell me about it...thanks!



i have a voyager and yes it plays whole songs and works really well! i love my phone! i hate blackberrys first they are geared more for email and so the other features dont work very well. the voyager gets internet and many other things. there are too many to mention! but it is a great phone and the keyboard is a good size but the phone does not wiegh too much. it is durable and the screens are great too! great pics on that screen! very versitile and you get mobile tv if you can too! its a great phone! get one! :)




It plays the whole song using the VCAST music player.

Is there a way to find out my cell phone plan without asking my parents what it is?

Like I need to know if I get long distance included in the plan, if we get free minutes at a certain time, etc.


Is there a way to find this info out without asking my parents wut the plan is?



Check the website. On verizon, you can type in your telephone number and check all that stuff out.




Why can't you just ask your parents?





Or rather





Who do you need to call long distance that you don't want them to find out about?




Try calling the local store of your provider and give them your number and they can probably tell you.

I lost my phone on a roller coaster yesterday. How can I get my contacts back?

Well unless your phone company provides a service like backup assistant from verizon wireless I believe your contacts are lost. And even if your phone has that service you would have actually had to do a backup before you lost the phone. Any other phone that has a sim, your contacts are lost with the sim unless again the company offers a backup service and you did back them up before you lost the phone.




first of all you must think about that


your phone should be misused by anybody who found that & as the phone is related to you so u`ll be in trouble


so 1st tll the cops about your missing phone




you cant unless you retrieve the phone or sim back

Have you got any credit on your phone?

Could I borrow it cuz I need to call my gf.



If you wanna come n get it you can borrow it! lol

The good and bad of LG Dare? I plan on getting one.?

I plan on getting a LG dare from telus and i want to know what the pros and cons are of the LG dare.

Good cellphone for texting and is stylish? (telus)?

sidekick with internet is awesome and texting!!!!!! trust me its a little big but stylish too

If I break my phone...?

Okay im with At&t.


If I break my phone would I be able to exchange it for free with a phone the same price?



no

So I have an LG Dare, i like it a lot, I have a chance to upgrade, any suggestions?

htc touch pro




The LG Dare is a good phone,but try looking at other phones and if you see one you like then get it,if you dont see one,then dont.

A question about replacing phones at T-Mobile?

My phone messed up recently and I wanted to know if when I call to send it to be replace is it looked over once they receive it...?



yes when you exchange it's going to be looked over for things no covered under the warranty. There is a $100 fee for phones that have physical or liquid damage.

EBay dispute? with mobile?

Hi.





I bought a phone on eBay (Omnia, for about 170) I received, used and left positive feedback. (within a day)





(Next Day) I came to charge the phone, it won%26#039;t charge at all, and now the phone is dead and useless.





The seller maintains that it was working fine when he sent it out.





Do I start a dispute? I%26#039;m slightly confused about the whole process, where should I go from here?



With luck, you paid by PayPal, as this is the best chance you have of getting your money back.





If you did, log into your PayPal account and click on the Resolution Centre link. You can then start a %26quot;dispute%26quot;. If you can%26#039;t come to an agreement with the seller, you need to escalate that dispute to a %26quot;claim%26quot; (and this is the point that PayPal actually becomes involved).





Assuming that PayPal find in your favour, you%26#039;ll need to return the phone - at your own expense and by trackable means (Special Delivery, for your own security) - and you%26#039;ll get a refund for the item and the initial postage costs.





Don%26#039;t close a claim/dispute until you%26#039;re 100% happy because claims/disputes can%26#039;t be reopened.





If you paid by some other means, you can start a dispute through eBay, but all they do is mediate so you still have to thrash things out with the seller yourself.





If the seller is registered with eBay as a business seller, and the phone was a %26quot;buy it now%26quot; item, you do have rights under the Distance Selling Regulations, but enforcing those rights is another matter - all you can really do is make the seller aware that you %26quot;know your rights%26quot; and hope that they cave in.




Hopefully you paid via pay pal? If this is so, start a claim through pay pal, not ebay. I have had to use this method several times and have always managed to receive my money back from the seller.





They will ask you to send the phone back at your expense and also, you won%26#039;t get your postage and package cost back, but you will get the price of the phone back.





Go onto pay pal, on to your account, and start a dispute under options.





Good luck.

Can anyone think of a good ringtone for my phone?

I currently have 'Freestyler' but i'm bored of it now - I want something that will make people smile and think 'ohhh i've not heard that for ages' or 'ohh I remember that show' lol





I was thinking the Red Dwarf theme tune? what do you think??



YAYYYY Red Dwarf!!


That's my ringtone!


I vote that! lol

Verizon Termination Fee ?

Okay this is not the normal termination fee. What would it cost if you wanted to end just one of the people on the family plan. Like not the main person but the people you had for 9.99 a month. How much would it cost to end One of those people ?



Call 611 from your handset, and talk with Verizon's Customer Service department. I recently bought out my contract from Verizon, and for an entire contract it only cost me $100 (I work for T-Mobile, so it was the better choice for me). Make sure they understand that you're not trying to stop the entire contract, but that you simply need to remove one person from their family plan.




last time I checked on doing that it was going to cost around 190-200$ verizon is such a rip off! you can "suspend" the account and that may make it cheaper for you a month.. I would look into that also! best thing to do would call verizon about your options!!

What are your views on nokia N85?

Digital TV sucks compared to Analog, Agree or Disagree?

I'm just saying since I switched to Digital I have had to get Signal Boosters to watch it without getting pixels and drops, Also it always seems to go down when its raining, at least with Analog it was always there and the Signal could travel up to 50 miles away



Agree. The range seems to be less, and when reception isn't the best, at least you could get something with analog, even if the sound isn't the greatest or the picture has a lot of snow on it. With digital, it freezes up, stutters, and pixelates right before your eyes. I'd rather have fuzzy than choppy.




yeah i think digital crap isnt that great. it cuts out funny a lot or loses signal for no reason...and digital phone sucks too...regular landlines are so much clearer

I Wanna Be A DJ (Would Like A DJ

Should I Pay For Learning Classes


Or Should I Buy The Equipment 1st?





i want to be a digital dj if it helps





and the place where i want to get training from offers


free practice for registered students





thx in advance



I would go with the training first. You never know, you might start doing the classes and realize it isnt something you want. I'm a DJ and I bought my equipment first, but I never took any classes. That turned out to be a bad thing because I had no idea what I was looking for in my equipment. So I ended up buying another set of equipment after I realized what I was doing and what I need to get out of my eq.





Hope that helps.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

So . .we got this tv. .because the old one broke and is irreparable, and its a lg flat screen, and now when playing xbox360 I cant see a thing, with need for speed I cant see the traffic so Dark the tv is, the problem is I put the tvs brightness on 100, and adjusted ALL Possible settings to make it brighter, but still nothing helps.I can only play one game and it is 007 Quantum of solace.Problem 2 im 16. have no income, and my parents simply refer to the problem as Not theirs, also the games brightness settings does not work and most games dont have. my old job I could get back it will take me 5 months to save up enough for a tv



Have you upped the backlight. Is it still under warranty? And what type of cable are you using to attach the Xbox? Try HDMI or component (red/green/blue) as maybe the cable you are using (composite yellow?) doesn't carry the HD signal you need.





www.monoprice.com sells the HD cables for really good prices.





Good luck getting to work.




Broken backlight maybe. Hope you have a warranty.

What silicon covers look best on a blackberry curve?

I have the blackberry curve 8310 and its dark red. I was wondering if i should put a dark red silicone case as the same color of the phone. Because most of them are purple,pink,ect. So i was just wondering if anyone has this phone with a silicone cover.


Oh and also if you have a good website or store to buy them that would be sweet:)


Thanks



i just got a red one too and i was wondering the exact same thing. i saw some on bestbuy.com and tmobile.com

Phone terminated. Need help.?

I purchased an LG Musiq cell phone last year. It's my first cellphone and there is no damage to it's body. However recently, it was accidently subdued to heavy water damage. Initially the phone still worked and the screens were fine. I let the battery and the phone dry out. All the buttons worked ( except the "END" button; one of the important keys) and the vibrating chip was fried. I figured I'd deal with it later. A day later, all the water escaped the screens but my phone wouldn't turn on even with the charger. I can't turn it back on because the "END" button doesn't work so I'm screwed. I even took out the battery, put the charger in, and put the battery back in. I need help reseting it or something? It seems dead.



buy insurance, and return it. I have 2 of the lg music phones and the first one I had the screen come off from the hinges. Sprint will not cover it unless you have insurance. Your phone is pretty well screwed. They have such minor circutry.

Blocking a phone number?

If I block a phone number, is there anyway the person can still call me from it?



No I dont think so. unless you do *67. I have block a number before and I havent heared from them in 3yrs. So I think once you block them they wont be able to call you untill you unblock them




I don't think so. Just wondering but is it *67 to block your numba in USA? I am canada BTW




I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to.

I have a ipod touch and i want to upgrade it to the software 2.2 it costs 9.99$can i purchase it with giftcard?

Yes that is how i purchased mine.

How to creat a new playlist on my iphone?

i dont know how to create them



From what I have done, you have to make the playlist in the iTunes software then you just sync it to your phone. It's easy to do and the cool thing is that you can easily delete old songs you don't want anymore on the playlist, you sync the phone, and it deletes the old songs in seconds as opposed to going in and deleting one by one.

Does Xbox 360 come with Xbox live time?

I have purchased an Xbox 360 and i haven't connected it to Xbox Live yet. I got xbox 360 pro and says i have free xbox live stuff.





How long will i have and will I still have it?



If you create a new gamertag on the 360 or connect an existing local gamertag to Live, you can make it a free Silver account. When you do this, it'll tell you that you get a free month of Gold. It's automatic.





After the free month of Gold is over, it turns back into a normal Silver account that doesn't let you play multiplayer.




It might come with a Free Trial, of either 48 hours, or a month.

My Palm Treo 750 camera stopped working the 3rd day i had the phone, what do i do to make it work?

And no I'm not in extreme light or extreme darkness, so i don't know how to fix the problem...should i call the company and ask? delete some items off my phone? there isn't anything covering then lens, so I'm just lost.



call the company if no take off the battery.




Id call the company

When Will Xbox 360

i Wanted to buy a Xbox 360 pro 60gb i tried craigslist it seems their not serious in selling i wanted to know when the price will drop in 2010 dont BS me saying who knows say the real answer or your estimate thanks :P



A friend of mine who seems to be pretty big into the 360 (and he worked at Gamestop for a few years) keeps telling me that there's going to be a price drop coming up sometime soon. I got the impression that he meant the next few months, summer at the latest, but I haven't been able to find any other sources online saying this. He's usually pretty accurate on when thigns come out so I tend to believe him. I'm sort of waiting for it too, as I'm looking at getting an elite. Also, he was guessing at only like a $50 drop or so, so I wonder if it's wortht the wait.




The Xbox 360s price recently dropped quite a bit. And in 2010 they will most likely launch a new console, so in the end it's personal choice. The new Xbox will be backwards compatible, so you can play every game released to date.





But don't wait, since the rumors will only start in 2010. The actual console will be released in 2011 or even 2012.




It can't be for sure, but we could expect to see a price drop around 2010.





By that time Microsoft will be talking about the release of a new Xbox console, since the 360 was released around 5 years ago. If there isn't a price drop in 2010 at all then there will be one in late 2009 or early 2011.




Xbox 360's have had quite a significant price drop already - most manufacturers are selling them for under 200 - depending on the model!

My gta3 with realgta download wont work??????

i downloaded this gta 3 with realgta mod on minninova with vuze and when i go to open the game it just sits on a black screen??????????



That's called "copyright protection." That's a feature designed to prevent people from stealing the game, like you did.

Konami vs capcom who do u think is better?

re5 metal gear top game makers who do u think is better name a few games and something about why it is so good



Metal Gear Solid beats Resident Evil, no question. It beats it down and kicks it around the block in front of its family and friends, then pees on it. Though they both have well-made stories and weird controls, Metal Gear's weird controls are responsive and the game has class. Resident Evil is just like playing a combat game where you are handicapped by a half-second delay in all your actions.





Aside from that, I don't know of any great titles made by Capcom. Konami either. They're not great game makers. Capcom mostly makes anime fighting games, like they're stuck in Sega Genesis mode or something. Konami makes metal gear and, what else? Not much.





The best game maker of them all is still SCEA. They are responsible for the true legends like gran turismo, and god of war. I don't think Konami or Capcom has ever partnered with SCEA on any games.





If the xbox360 were to get Ubisoft, I would laugh at all the poor xbox owners for getting the absolute worst video game maker in the world as an exclusive developer. Ubisoft's latest turkey, Hawx, defies description and common sense. Most air combat games that aren't flight sims say they are arcade games straight up. Hawx pretends to be a flight sim, even though it's more arcade than Ace Combat was. It's as arcade as that Red Baron mini-game, and the Red Bull Air Race. If Tom Clancy goes to xbox, I won't miss him, it will mean more room for quality games to sell on ps3.


And rock star still just mainly makes grand theft auto, another hugely overrated game. I have hated GTA ever since it lost its sense of humor, the last good one was GTA2; after that it was just gangbang this, gangbang that. Like the movie Scarface. I won't play a game if I don't like the main character. GTA2 was good cause it was funny. the radio stations were full of funny soundtracks. The neighborhoods were run by gangs like the Loonies, the Russians, and the Rednecks, who lived in a massive trailer park. That's 1st-class game design and the GTA's 3 and GTA 4 can't measure up to it. So Take-two can go to 360 too, for all I care. Only good rockstar game I ever owned is Smuggler's run.





Ubisoft may be releasing IL-2 sturmovik on ps3 in the future, but it's not their game, it was made by a russian company, Maddox games. They just stamp their name on it and publish it.





These are the quality game developers in my opinion:





Naughty Dog (Jak and Daxter)


Free Radical (Timesplitters)


Sony Computer Entertainment (duh)


Pandemic (star wars battlefront 1)


Insomniac (Resistance)


Evolution Studios (motor storm)


THQ (red faction)


Havok (pain)




The Metal Gear series tops the Resident Evil series for me.





The Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Acid games are some of my favorite; especially the Metal Gear Solid game for the NES way back then.





There's also Okami which is extremely fun.





I'm having trouble understand your last question.


If it was Konami Capcom vs. Rockstar and Ubisoft then Konami Capcom would definitely win. Metal Gear and Resident Evil are far more popular than Grand Theft Auto.




Konami. They started out with classics like Contra and moved to modern classics like Metal Gear. Lets not forget the successful Pro Evolution/Winning Eleven series, unfortunately it isn't so successful anymore, but back in the PS2 days this was the top football game




I would say konami. Capcom makes arcade type games. Almost no story at all. I was able to test the RE5 demo and I think that is typical of Capcom. It is so "arcadey". Konami makes a story first and then develop a game out of it.




Capcom is best because it produce games like


Resdential Evil 4 and 5


Ascension To the Throne


And many games which are the limit of the sky


Konami produced


Tekken Etc


If both the companies created one game it would beat the sales of GTA4
