my experience with verizon is that they lock most of the functions of their phones (custom ringtones, games, etc...) they make you pay for those seperately. you can try and go to howardforums.com and see if they have tips on that.
I second the recommendation to check out howardforums.com.
You can put your own ringtones on your phone/flash card with a program called BitPim. I'm not sure if it falls into questionable territory to discuss it here, so I'll just tell you to use Wikipedia to get the links for the official download site.

Thirded or whatever on Howardforums
I assume you've got the cable, there's a program Mototools or some such thing. THat ought to let you put ringtones on. I've always had LG phones so I'm not sure of the software. You'll be able to find all of that on howardforums though. It can be done.

Seriously, the EASIEST, CHEAPEST-ASS way to put ringtones on a verizon phone is:
1) Get a freeware MP3 trimmer. Try versiontracker.com, download.com or other like sites. A big one everyone suggests is Audacity (sp?).
2) Select a song that has a portion that you would like to use as a ringtone. Now encode the song as an MP3 in 64 kbps quality. The reason it has to be this low quality is because the phone will not accept files over a certain size.
3) Use the MP3 trimmer program to select a ~30 second portion of the song you would like to use. Be sure to name the clip something appropriate, as this is how it will be labeled on your phone.
4) Email the song clip as an attachment to [email protected], replacing the xxxx's with your phone number, area code first.
5) You will get a text message from your email and when you open it, your "OK" button the phone will be labeled "PLAY." Hit "OK" and you will hear the song clip play and it will ask you if you want to download it. Select yes.
6) Go into your settings and when you go to the select ringtone menu, your song will not be there under the name you gave it in step 3.
The only cost to you is for the data transfer, which will be roughly 30-50 cents at most. This is how I make my ringtones and it works like a charm. Screw paying $2+ for a ringtone.

I modified the programming on my vzw rzr to enable custom ringtones. I've since transferred 70 ringtones to my phone. Course, I only have 20 contacts...
