raccoon 53 Report post Posted November 21, 2004 Also since we have access to bitpim on most phones we can get hold of the link and possibly execute it as a favorite item & get the ringtone from the R-World cache using bitpim rather than using the "Save" option which will be charged. This can be of some concern for the RIL ppl who reading it here now Another thing is ringtones which get into older phones accessible to bitpim are subject to risk though they have secured it sufficiently well in Newer phone like 2130/5130 etc 19733[/snapback] You mean to say you would be charged/billed only if you click on the "Save" option??? I was under the impression that you would be charged for sending the SMS request for the rightone?! If that is true, then its great because then you could actually check out if you like the ringtone ...and you pay only if you want to keep it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This service does'nt send ringtones thru' sms. it only sends a java link as sms which when executed takes us to their portal, from where we can download the file.

Ringtone sevice by indiatimes is altogether different from "sms thru' net" available on RIL website. Well, its just a clarification, no intention of starting any un-necesary argument.

VijayG 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 thanks amtrag and others for replying... but by the way u have suggeted only RIM ppl can msg me via net... but we rim ppl r not a majority community so u c the prob is that STILL NO MSG VIA NET FROM MAJORITY COMMUNITY.... rimweb STUDS have so far conquered all the challanges like RINGTONEs on LGRD2030 with data cables n all... they also got the ringtones via sms... NOW i suppose this is the FINAL FRONTIER... SMS VIA NET FROM ANYBODY even abroad probably.... SO any takers for this CHALLANGE!!!!!!! REGARDS VIJAY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmkrishna79 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 Dear Ring tone lovers, Reliance is starting 8888 (India Times) service for ring tones. Reliance has not given any ad on this but as a test basis they have uploaded all the ring tones in R World. We have send message to 1237 for getting ring tones Some of you already know this but for the information to all I am sending this message. There are Mono phonic Ring tones and Poly phonic ring tones. I think Reliance will charge Rs. 5 to Rs.7 for each ring tone. Some ring tones are good especially Zara Zara is very good in Samsung. You can get these ring tones in all Java enabled handsets and I have not tested them in Mot and LG 2230 handsets. At present they uploaded 87 Polyphonic ring tones and 89 Mono phonic Ring tones. I am not able to download 2 to 3 ring tones but rest all downloading well. Ring tones in Samsung handsets are working excellently with Good clarity. In LG, Clarity is not that good. These ring tones are provide by 8888 service of India times. You may visit www.Indiatimes.com for more ring tones but Reliance has not uploaded Ring tones other than specified in my Attachment. Please see the attachment and download ring tones. Please let me know if this Information is useful to You or not. Have fun and enjoy. Murali Krishna.
