Speaking of In Like Flint, I've been trying to find the ringtone of the red phone in that movie to use as a ringtone. Now that was a cool ring!

That movie is a sore spot with me. They showed it on TV in the pre-cable days and it was a big deal at the time (early 70s) - they hyped it for weeks prior and I was dying to see it. I was maybe 11 or 12 and did something stupid that week and got myself grounded so the whole family watched it while I had to stay in my room. 40+ years later, I'm still pissed about that.

You and everyone else. I did a Google search and even discarding the obvious fake generated hits "Buy a book on oblivated possum mullifacations", there are a lot of people who are looking for or who have created tones for that ring.

Well I can rent the movie and record the tone. How do I get from *.wav to a ringtone?

The sound you speak of is widely available on the net.

I happen to have one handy, right here.

What you need to do is find some way for your phone to capture the .mp3 file.

You can either hand enter the URL into your phone's web browser, or you can email the link to your phone and tell it to open the link in the email, which is how I have been doing it.

I have a couple "custom" ringtones that I generated this way, including the complete Outer Limits theme, but that's a bit much. I really have to edit that one down to just the control voice parts.

As an aside, In Like Flint and Our Man Flint are two of my favorite movies. They are available on DVD.

Very good sound quality - Thanks! UT is right about Verizon not making it easy but I heard that Motorola sells software that you can use to get it from the computer to the phone via a small USB cable.

Off to find the software...
