Can you transfer ringtones and games from one phone to another using bluetooth? If so, how?

Posted by: Heavy Fluid

You can, as long as you are not using Verizon. The two phones have to be paired via the Bluetooth first. Do that, then simply go to the ringtone and press the menu key. Then select either copy or move. Copy will keep a copy on your phone, and move will actually move the file to the other phone.

I believe that Verizon blocks this, aka OBEX. The Bluetooth for most Verizon phones only works with a headset to my knowledge. It sucks, and that is one reason that I really dislike Verizon, and did not choose them when selecting a wireless company. If a feature is available, and I am not able to use it because of them, I choose someone else.

Ringtones = yes.
Games = no.

You can do pictures and ringtones, that is about it I believe. I have never tried to Bluetooth an application or a game. Although, I Bluetooth the game from the computer to the phone, so I should be able to do phone to phone, right?

Theoretically it would be possible, but I challenge you to find a menu option that will let you do that from the phone

Therein lies the rub - the multimedia formats all have a "Copy" option. Java doesn't.

Ahhh, I see. Never thought about that part of it.

There is no V3c with Cingular. It is just a V3.
