Default Can I replace ringtones without going thru sprint?

I realize this might be a "basic" question but I haven't found an
answer here yet...
I'm thinking I should be able to download ring tones to my computer
and get a cable and transfer them to my phone (Sanyo 4930). Can I
do this? Sprint seemed to be telling me it wasn't possible but I'm
wondering if they just wanted me to use their ringtones/internet
access.

Thanks,
John

check BitPim to see what it can do to/with your phone.

Thanks Mike, I went to the BitPim page and they don't list the sanyo
4930 as a supported phone but they do list the 4920....I wonder if
they just haven't updated the list or if the phones are really that
different.
Meantime I have to try to figure out exactly what BitPim is. Maybe a
bit advanced for an average computer user?

It's not so much that it's advanced, but it's free,
open-source software, so there isn't much in the way of hand-holding.

It's a small application that you put on your computer that
allows you to access your phone's software and transfer information
back and forth. So it's really exactly what you want. I'm surprised
that the 4930 isn't supported, but if you don't see it, it is not. The
people who work on BitPim update their information pretty carefully.

With BitPim you're also on your own in obtaining the cable
that connects the phone to the computer. It's easy to find, but you
have alternatives that you might find more useful.

Look here: http://www.susteen.com

Datapilot is software that comes packed with usage
instructions and a cable.

There's another, similar product called SnapSync by
FutureDial: http://www.futuredial.com

I don't know anything about these two applications but they
are quite popular and designed to do what you want to do. I believe
the latter is also sold with the cable included.
