Okay, I wondered if anybody can find/create a Firefly theme song ringtone. I found a link to one site, but it in MP3 format and the Nokia I have won't use it.
Does anybody know a site that has it? I'm hoping to find it in the older mono format. Don't get me wrong, if someone finds it in the new polyphonic format, I WILL buy a new phone 
No sacrifice is too great for hearing that song every time my phone rings!!

Is it a monophonic tone? I've got the polyphonic one, but can't use it...

My Kyocera phone actually came with a ringtone called "Firefly" - alas, it has nothing to do with our show (and is a pretty crappy ringtone besides).

Okay, go here first to download MIDIs: http://home.comcast.net/~mrtoade/FORnokiafirefly.mid
(for Nokias or other Type 0 MIDI phones)
or
http://home.comcast.net/~mrtoade/FORfirefly2.MID
(for other Type 1 MIDI phones)
Next go to http://www.wap.pcs3g.com/ and 'Relay' the ringtone to them. It will then be available for download from your cellular. Must be 'web-connected', which late-model Nokias are by default.
It was a little tricky, so if you need more specific help, just reply to this message and I'll give you a step-by-step for Nokia 3595. Mileage may differ for other handsets... Hope this helps.
Respectfully,

I, too, would love to use the Firefly theme on my phone! I followed the instructions above and relayed the file to http://www.wap.pcs3g.com/additems.php, and then to my phone - I even got a confirmation back saying the ringtone had been relayed.
Only now.. I have no idea where to find it, despite having poked around on my phone in every nook and cranny. Any suggestions?
I'm using a Motorola T720, from Cingular. Anyone have that phone, or know anything about it?

hi shiny
I'm in the same shape. I downloaded the polyphonic - it sounds great - but I have a crappy old Nokia 3390 (?) that I inherited from my daughter when she got a snazzy new phone. What's wrong with THAT picture!?!
Anyway, I want a newer phone but unless you sign a new contract with T-Mobile they are mad expensive. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet..I hate it because I'm going after-contract with a great plan they don't offer anymore..rats!
Oh well, better start investigating options, 'cause I WANT that ring

Aerrin, et al:
If your Motorola, et cetera, is anything like my Nokia (and some things would have to be common within a specific class of electronic gizmos, presumably), you would have received an alert saying, "1 message received". On my Nokia 3595, I select 'Show', then 'Options', then I select, 'Use detail'. Then select 'Web Address'. I then press 'Options' and select the 'Go to' menu item on the next screen. The phone connects to the web and downloads the ringer, which I can then 'Save', 'Discard' or 'Playback' (do this to make sure it'll work with your phone; if it doesn't, try the other MIDI format from the links above).
Once you're sure it'll play on your phone, 'Save' it to the 'Tones' folder in your 'Gallery' main menu item. Now you can set it as your ringtone. You will also probably need to adjust your ringer volume to 'Full', because the the MIDI is somewhat muted. At full volume, I can hear it just fine, and my hearing is atrocious (old rocker's disease, i.e., 100-watt Marshall stacks on either side for 10 years)
If you're working on a different handset, hopefully this will point you in the right direction; you may have to take out the 'miniature War and Peace' (user's guide) that came with your phone in order to get to some of the more arcane specific settings. A virgin sacrifice or a dove's entrails may also be required...
Hopefully Helpfully(?),

Huh. Interesting. Despite the conformation, I never recieved any sort of message on my phone.
Thanks for the information, though - muchly appreciated!
In digging out the Cell Phone Bible, I wonder - does anyone have a 'code' to type in to create the tone, or a similiar one, yourself, for those of us who can't seem to get the 'net to work for us?
