The Sprint Power Vision network is pretty speedy. Downloading the ~100kb ringtones takes about three seconds on my Samsung A920. A change from my Samsung i700 - I make my own .wav ringtones for that one. I cut down various .mp3s I like and make them .wav files and then compress and fine tune them a bit for usage as a ringtone.
But on this new phone on Sprint, they have a serious library of ringtones to choose from. They're normally $2.50/tone, but it seems as if I have free reign over them. I wish there was an online catalog of them so that I could simply plug in a 4-digit code for them or something; that would make things much easier than scrolling through alphabetically.
Annoyingly, the ringtones expire in 90 days. I have no idea if this is status quo for buying ringtones as I've never done so before. But it's new to me and a limit on usage is annoying.
Take heart.
I'm a 3-year Sprint customer, and though I've seen that 90-day "license" that appears to be attached to every ringtone they provide, I've yet to see one expire (as in stop working for me).
