hey mine has recently got the same probelm, only now the tones are sent to my phone as a voice note instead of a ringtone and the voice notes are not as clear as the ringtones were. I have a blackberry pearl 8110. Did I do something to it or am I just picking ringtones that happen to be voice records?

Cingular must have just started compressing the ringtone before it gets to your phone. I am getting many compaints from Cingular customers.

Crostel did not change anything, so it has to be on the carrier end.

T-mobile did the same thing about a year ago. To get the high quality version you need to follow the download link in the text message. You can signup for a data plan with your carrier to avoid their data charges.

FYI- just tested on a T-Mobile Razr and the ringtone came through crystal clear. Maybe Cingular is just having a bad week?

Well i looked at my old ringtones that sound great.
And i noticed the kbps and compared them to the low
quality ringtones so yea hey get compressed because
of course the lower quality have about half the kbps then
the higher quality ones.. sucks! but now i have a blackberry
with a memory card so i dont have to send any i just put em
on the memory stick through usb.
