If you were to do the email method, then yes, you would have to pay for data charges. If you do have internet included with your plan, then you can do this and not worry about having to pay extra just as long as you stay within your limit. Since you don't have bluetooth, you can still most likely get a cord for your phone and work from there...

Yes if you get a cord (of course which costs money) you can get ringtones from your computer. If you have internet you can send an email to yourself and download it right off your phone. If not then I would go for the cord. There was a commercial or something that said to text some word to 66566 for like jokes or free ringtones. I wouldn't try it though cause I think they spam you.

You would have to talk to Cingular for the chord you are looking for. They can't charge you for transferring things from your computer to your phone unless it requires emailing. If you use the chord it shouldn't cost anything. Your phone's email is your email. You connect to the internet and sign into your personal email I believe.

It depends on the model you are using. I don't have bluetooth either but I can download mp3s to my flash memory and copy them manually to my cellphone memory and then choose them as the ringtones. I think this method works for all motorola cellphones too. The most important thing is that you should be able to access the phone main memory, this can either be done by bluetooth, Infrared or USB (if you have the official connection package - you can download it freely from some sites) or copying. If you open a server and download mp3s to the phones, your company may charge you for data transfer fee. So the old method may be the best.

Really there is two ways that you can do it. First find a website that gives out the free ringtones. Make sure there is no hidden cost or any charges that they add. You can either buy the usb cable and hook your phone up to your computer or most websites will send you the ringtone through a text message and you will have to download it. You still have to pay the k/b fee and text message fee if you dont have it already handled on your plan. All together it is only like $0.30 though.

You'd have to watch out for those advertiser where they advertise the first or two ringtones for free. Yet they say in small print that there is a surcharge for using the service after downloading the first or second ringtone... :D

My (new) Vodafone 3G mobile phone has the Bluetooth/infrared and USB features. I was thinking that if I wanted to use one of my mp3 as a ringtone, how would I use said features - and would I be able to get the full length of the song. Just a thought.
