The point is that they say they lost 1 billion last year but claim only 1 billion in sales of ringtones when its clear the figure is really 9 billion. Even if the 9 is way off and more like 3 or 4 that means they made money or at least broke even. Thats my point. @Signa it depends on your phone.

If possible Google will show how to hack your phone. I have an LG MP3 phone from Verizon. A $5 dollar cable and 5 minutes of my time and I have full Mp3 quality ringtones not that Midi nonsense. 30 different songs for 30 different people and me<x>tallica's Damage Inc. for restricted numbers just so I don't waste my time getting up to look at who's calling.
