Verizon Wireless Free Ringtone Today Only

[Markintosh]

For New Year's....

1) Get It Now
2) VZW Tones Deluxe (free download if needed)
3) Select your tone
4) Choose Buy
5) Select Enter Redemption Code
6) Enter 2007
7) Select Buy

I got Sublime's Santeria.

I normally always use BitPim and Bluetooth to put my tones on, but this was free and easy for the non technically inclined...or for those with a phone that doesn't allow those workarounds.

"FATAL ERROR - Verizon Network is not available" Swamped with users or off for the day?

They are swamped according to users at HowardForums.com. Still kept trying and all family members eventually got through....

The software says you may have to pay for a subscription to their service to playback their tones.

Nuts to Verizon!

I picked up on a promotion from a thread on HowardForums, where, if you took their online survey, you could buy accessories at a discount.

I took the survey so that I could get a couple of extended batteries for my s/o's and my KRZRs at 1/2 price. $25 each instead of $50. When I tried to complete my order instead of finalizing I was asked to sign up for service to proceed.

I didn't see a clear disclaimer about having to be a Verizon subscriber, so I'm really pissed.

It appears I need a Verizon customer to place the order for me.

Unfortunately, I don't know who, of my friends or acquaintances, is a Verizon customer.
