Can't transfer my purchased ringtones?!?!? Seems like a racket to me!!!?

Alright, Just got the New Gleam from Verizon, but would like to know how to get the ringtones I have already purcjaed on it. Seems a bit like a scheme for me to have to purchase them again, but got a "DRM PROTECTION" error whjen I tried to transfer them to the verizon web. What am I doing wrong, or is it simply not possible to move them from one phone to another??

    I don't think you can transfer them, I just bought new tones when I switched my phones..

    but I don't buy ringtones anymore, I use

    myxertones.com

    you use songs you have on your computer already (eg, on iTunes or limewire) and upload them to myxertones, then send them to your phone in a text message.

    it's all free and really easy. I recommend if you don't want to use money on ringtones.

    he's right..

    you CAN'T transfer them after you've purchased them.

    i had 40+ ringtones

    and 30+ wallpapers and i lost them ALL

    they are copyrighted.

    if u ordered some within the last 60 days they MIGHT give u a credit for them but it's very unlikely. sorry .
