Ok guys, for those of you who could not get my last one to work, this one is full proof! It is a combo of a couple of hacks.
r
First you need to swap back to an old phone, then go to your calltones page, and bookmark it. Then use bitpim to pull that bookmark out of your old phone, and put it into your touch/mogul. I tried this with a razr 2. If you can't get the bookmark off of the old phone, then act like you are trying to bookmark it, and copy down the url VERBATIUM into either your phone's browser, or your computer's browser (easier to type into comp) then go to that url making sure it will work (it will also work on a pc) then bookmark it, and ship it to the ppc. This sounds a lot more difficult than it really is, but once you have that url bookmarked, then its cake! I tested this on a mogul! Good luck guys, and give me some success stories on this! Perhaps you guys have some better ways of copying that url? Please reply with it!

remember hit dat rep!

dont all we need is the url so we can access the calltones features as well.. My question is this. Wouldn;'t only one person have to get this to work and then post the url? or is it more complicated then that?

Good question, and sorry i forgot to answer it in my initial post. The url of which I have is specific to my phone/account, so if i would give that out, anyone who has that url can access my calltones, buy calltones, so on and so forth. When you find your own url, you can put it on any computer and access your own calltones. It is a long url... But once you figure it out, all you need to do is save it on your pc, perhaps a second pc/harddrive/cd so that you don't lose it, but don't put it in a place where someone else can get it... you don't want someone buying a bunch of calltones on your account... hopefully i answered your question. Just send a reply otherwise.

For instance mine starts out http://calltones.sprintpcs.com:8080/session_start.asp?action=featured_call_tones&id=
obviously not going to give the long number after that...

i got you but in your orignal post you said to switch to phone which gives you access and the options to purchase calltones? then copy the url of that site? Is that correct if i am not mistakiN?

that is correct

when you access the calltones site on your normal phone, it will automatically redirect you to the specific url that deals with your account/phone

wait,wait,wait,wait....why are you guys making this so difficult...haven't you guys heard of the calltones hack cab and the short instructions on how to access the calltones web page right through PIE on your Sprint smartphone/PPC. If this does not sound familiar to you then let me know and I will create a thread for it...I would think that everyone knows of this by now...

it does work...at least on my mogul it does...I have searched the threads and found some similar instructions which are flawed they add what is not necessary...so I will create a thread to explain how to get calltones.

I posted something extremely similar to that, it is stickied under the touch help thread. Some people could not get it working... I have personally only got it working on my touch, and then transfered the url to my mogul.
