Putting Ringtones on a LG490

Putting Ringtones on a LG490
My girlfriend gave me her old cell phone which works well except for the fact the telus has that phone locked up so tight windows is jealous, HAHA. well anyways the only way you can put ringtones on it is by downloading them from telus for $3.50+ but you do not get to listen to them first which means it could be the wrong part of the song you want or the wrong song all together and you still have to pay for it, which is absolute crap. Well after searching the net I can up with absolutely no solutions for my phone so I made one and this is it.

Step 1What you need

What you need
These are the only things you need:
- A connection to the phone. cable or bluetooth.
- BitPim
- Audacity
- My Copyright adding program. Required VB6 runtimes. winXP and Vista come with them.
- Patients

first install BitPim, then set up the bluetooth connection with windows then go look at the bluetooth devices you are connected to select your phone and click properties.
click the services tab, wait for it to load then make a note of the COM port used by 'Serial port (SPP) Bluetooth serial port' mine is COM16. open BitPim it will try to find your phone, it doesn't detect the LG490 so you goto the edit menu and down to settings.
In the Com Port text box type the COM number COM16 in my case. Click OK
Next goto the view menu and select View Filesystem.
click on filesystem on the far left column then a folder with "/" next to it will appear in the second column. expanded it to see if it will connect to the phone.
You may need to change the COM ports by reconnection the bluetooth.
