no...you have to upload them via a an uploader like focus or rumkin...do a search on ringers...screensavers...apps...

also check the multimedia section...

Yea I know about the uploaders. I used them a year ago, but I'm scared to do it again b/c that same month I got a $60 charge on the bill for downloading random stuff.

Bluetooth transfers are not possible as far as ringers and screensavers go. The easiest way to do that is with an uploader. However, there is a way that you can do it using the USB cable, but it's kind of complicated. Search for "how to upload ringers USB a900" or any combination of those words, and you should be able to find it.

Ok thanks I did it and found threads. Thanks.

STLCards002 · 06-15-2006, 11:18 PM

So what I got it go to the samsung website and download a certain thing. Then connect my phone to the computer and I can upload music to my phone. I won't be able to use it as a ringtone, but I can listen to it. Does this cost money? Am I even right?
