Thanks for the heads up. I just may take you up on that offer for more details once I've worked out more biz details... one thing I have going for me is I'd be operating in a small environment. One or two cities in Canada and perhaps involving 3 carriers through the aggregator, hopefully that will reduce some of the clutter. I've seen how complex some of the online ring tone apps are though, eek!

You should be very careful with media/ring tones if you're trying to create/send them yourself. The amount of data that you need is massive, and the amount of maintenance is greater still. You can't just send a ring tone to any phone. You have to first find out what phone your user is using (you get this from the aggrogator); then your compare the ring tone against the phone and see if it compatible, and at what speed it will play the ring tone etc. All though this may sound doable it's really quite difficult. I can give you more information if you require, but think ring tone X phone X playrate and that's just one ring tone.
