How do you go about changing them to .m4r?

now I have a question.
don't mean to sorta redirect the thread.
I saved a a ringtone sent to me on a LG Versa verizon phone saved it to a sd chip.
can I save it to my Mac or send it to itunes and use it on my verizon iphone?

How do you go about changing them to .m4r?

What OS are you using?

In Windows (7), you need to go to My Computer, Organize, Folder and Search Options, the View tab, and make sure "Hide extensions for known file types" is NOT checked. Then you go to where the .M4A file is located and change it to a .M4R file.

I have to say, I am super frustrated with how difficult it is to put ringtones on the iPhone. It shouldn't be so difficult. Ugh.

Win7, thanks!

So that's all you need to do to make and use a custom ringtone? No jailbreak required?

There is all a custom ringtone designer app that you can create 30 sec ringtones with and then sync through itunes..... Very very simple. If you use the above method make sure to convert to ACC before changing the file extension. Then drag and drop. that's also very easy!

Good luck!

Yes, this.

But it goes for any version of Windows. I have XP at home.

For those of you who understand that ringtones work the same on the iPhone - whether it's Verizon or AT&T - there is an entire forum dedicated to ringtones and wallpaper. There are lots of threads there explaining how to make them, how to use them, and offering ringtones to download.

It's time y'all stopped creating new threads in the VZW forum that have nothing to do with anything carrier specific.
