Can someone please give me a hand with this. All my previous cell phones had numerous "tones", no, I don't mean ringtones, but TONES one could select when you receive a text message or to let you know someone's left a voice mail. Well, I just was sent the new LG Env2 by Verizon because my Motorola was defective and unfortunately, although it has some cute regular music ringtones, the ONLY actual "tones" for texts or voice mails are beeps....very annoying, and the only one that would get my attention is idential to my Nextel beep for my work phone, which I don't want to use on my personal phone. Lord knows I hear enough of the "beep, beep, beep" when my Nextel goes off a million times a day at work. I have searched the internet on 3 different occasions for hours and although I've found "you've got mail" and many other talking text and voice mail, I can't seem to find just a regular NO TALKING "tone" to use, one for my texts, and one for my voice mail. Is there anyone out there in internet land that can tell me where on the net is somewhere you can find actual just TONE sounds, not anything that talks, that I can download to my new ENV2? I was really shocked at a phone that was just launched the first week of May has only a couple of "tones" one can pick for texts or voicemails...I'm not 16 like my daughter, I don't want a voice mail message telling me "you've got mail" or, all the silly "you've rec'd a text" talking ones out there. I love all my song ringtones...but this is different and those beeps are driving me nuts, I keep reaching for my Nextel. HELP, HELP HELP. My email address is a.m.carter@netzero.net if anyone can help me out...you'd be saving this lady's sanity! ;)

Actually best thing to do is make your own of course, here's two good sources, they've been around for a while (I recommend a plop-up blocker on the second one);
