      I'm sitting on a few thousand ringtones myself. I was thinking of doing the same thing. Looks to be a profitable venture. Everyone has a cellie these days.

        You can just sell whatever ringtones you find?

          better do you homework on the industry before you start selling ringtones you happen to find on the net..

                That's mostly why I haven't done anything with them so far. But...I have looked on a bunch of ringtone sites and they're all pimping out the same tones that I've got here on my PC. So if it's not legit...lots of people are getting away with it.

                Got a link where I can get some more insite?

                      Often times I wonder why
                      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                      When sickness comes I must decide:
                      When feelings go, theres suicide.

                        What I don't understand is all the sites that sell ringtones don't let you charge it to your phone in the US, I assume it's cause US carriers don't allow it yet?

                        Also where do you get software to allow people to dial up via thier phone and download tones once they are billed?

                              Built one with Mediaplazza. No sales yet but haven't push a ton of traffic to it either.

                                I built a few of these at my last job. Much easier in the UK than the States.

                                The states *do* have premium SMS enabled now, but the rollout process is terrible at the moment. You pay 1k/month to reserve a shortcode across all the operators, or $500/month for a random shortcode. Then you have to get each operators approval to turn on the service for their network. (so you are probably going to be $3k into it before you get live on any networks)

                                Licensing content is a totally different beast. You need to pay royalties, and have approval from the artists (most artists give blanket approvals though). So, you need to report to ASCAP and another agency whos name I forget.

                                If you *dont* use premium SMS and charge via CC, it is simpler, and you can still deliver the ringtones using regular SMS messages.

                                If any of you are serious about launching a site, WireRunner.com has services and developers (including me) who have done all this stuff before. Drop me a line at [email protected] !

                                Cheers.

                                  i used mediaplazza and had about 140 sales with them although depending on where the people are that are buiying the returns change very much so from country to country resulting in high gains from the uk and low from us ..

                                  143 sales - less than 50 bucks

                                    This is my fav toy project for the moment - www.dsmobile.com - I have 12 adult domains that will be loaded with this backend after I'm done tweeking it out - this site is just a beta really and in the long run will upsell / brand with the studio members sites.

                                    The other domains will be under mobilepays.com (affiliate program not rolled out yet) This is gona be fuuuuuuun hehe
