...free ringtones? I am aware that nextel phones do not allow you to go onto sites to get free tones. I just am curious if other providers also act this way.

i have verizon right now and i manage to bypass the free ringtone thing by goin to Cellware.com!!!!! and having my songs sent to me after i upload them to the site and the site sends it to me in a pix message. it might only be for some phones though, but you can try it out, i mean its free.
