Call Tunes for 6800

[msreesa]

Does anyone know a website or how I can have my call tunes on my 6800?

Thanks.

Call Tones? What carrier are you with? I was told you can't have call tones on a ppc!! That sucks! I'm with sprint!

This is a two-part hack. First, you have to setup the Sprint proxy. Second, you have to make the website think you're running on a supported phone.

1) Setup the proxy. Goto Settings->Connections->Sprint->Proxy Settings. Set the proxy address to 68.28.31.33. Click advanced. Make sure the port for HTTP is 80, and get rid of Socks.

2) Change the User-Agent. Get your favorite registry editor.
Goto: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent

Backup what's there currently. (don't skip this). If you're using PHM, you can export the whole key to a file.

Get rid of everything else, and add the following String Values:
Compatible=compatible
Default=Mozilla/4.0
Desc=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
Platform=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
UA-Language=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
Version=MSIE 6.0

Now Sprint thinks you're using a Treo 650!

3) Goto http://vision.sprintpcs.com If it doesn't look right, check all the settings again. You should have 10 links numbered 1,2,...,9,0. The website is very picky, if you have any typos or mistakes in the user-agent it won't work.

worked on my 6700 and now it works on my 6800

If i do this and say i lose my phone will sprint replace it with a treo as well? or will they still know to replace it with a mogul? i dont want to risk that.

sprint will replace it with a 6800, you esn number says your using a 6800. this hack is just make the sprint homepage think your using a treo.

Sorry noob question.. What are Call Tunes

Are they ring tones or when a caller calls you they hear a song besides the dial tone?

I believe verizon calls it ring back, is that what u are talking about?

[GirlGoneGeek]

you are correct!!! And that's a lot of work and risk to just get a call tone!

what risks are you talking about?
yeah it might be some work but if you want call tunes on a pocketpc, thats what your going to have to do.

and for the last time sprint is not going to think you have a treo. the "ESN" of a phone tells sprint, (make, model, and even the color of the phone)
