According to a Verizon Wireless press representative that contacted us, Verizon Wireless customers will be able to get a free ringtone download from the company on New Years Eve. Verizon customers simply need to text the word "Tone" to the number 2007 with their phone and they will receive instructions as to how they can download a free ringtone of their choosing.
Potential New Year’s Eve freeloaders can check out the list of available ringtones at the Verizon Wireless Get It Now website. Just remember that the code only works for Verizon Wireless customers and is only valid on New Years Eve, December 31st.

Ding! Light bulb! Why doesn’t Nokia revamp the Nokia PC Suite and actually offer free ring tones, as well as other services, to its customers directly. No need to pay for bandwidth fees since you’ll have your phone hooked up directly via USB. Wait a minute I just remembered something … carriers never include the USB cable because they would rather get more money from you. Hmmm something must be possible. Bluetooth?
You see where I’m getting at however. Why do things such as ring tones and wallpapers, something that American cell phone subscribers go gaga over, have to be something exclusively offered by the (communist) carriers? The Nokia PC Suite holds HUGE potential, but it isn’t being used to it’s fullest advantage. The iPod wouldn’t be where it is today if it wasn’t for iTunes. When will I be able to say that about the PC Suite?
