I got my cellphone on Saturday, and one of the first things I asked the service rep was whether or not I could put my own MP3s on my phone as ringtones. She said that this is possible with almost any phone, including the one I ended up buying, but it's necessary to convert them to a certain format and text the file to the phone company.
My problem is this: I don't know what to convert them to or how to do so (ie: what program to use). If anyone could help me out with this I would be super grateful. I'm using Cingular, and my phone is a Sony Ericsson Z520a.
I tried looking on their website first, but I found nothing of use. I have the feeling they keep this info as difficult to figure out as possible to rope you into paying ridiculous amounts for songs you already own.
(Note: If this would be more appropriate under Computers or I Like Fish, I apologize. I wasn't quite sure where to categorize it.)
