Go to the Verizon Web site and find the Get It Now option, navigate to a
site for ringtones, preview, and then purchase. You will need to
register a username and password at the site. Verizon's web support is
very difficult to navigate logically.

Not being a "geek", this is your best option to try first. If you can't
find what you want, you can record your own or use any mp3 file and upload
it to your phone but it involves a special cable and software installation.
Here's a link for instructions on how to do this:

It looks harder than it is. You can ask questions there or here if you run
into problems.

Another good source for all sorts of cell phone information is:

P.S. Excellent idea on the voice message. I think I'll have my wife record
that for me!

Doesn't anything which goes through vzwpix get treated as a "picture
message" (actually, an MMS [multimedia] message) and get charged $0.25,
unless you have a pix package of some kind? A bit more than $0.02, but
still a lot less than the GetItNow ringtones ($1.99).
