Nope, I got 'em on my phone almost a year ago.
I believe you had to put your whole number in including country code.
So you would put in something like "1 800 555 1212". They will then send you a text message with a weblink to download the tones.

Interesting... does anyone know a good way to extract the ringtone files from the website? I'm talking about getting .WAV or .MP3 files. My cell provider doesn't make it easy to get free ringtones, so I have to use some of my own trickery to do it myself.

To call the US via overseas would be +1 or 001. Maybe this will help?

US area code is 011 or 01 from my understanding. Yeah, if someone could extract the MINI horn ringtone that would be great!

I would love to have a distinct MINI ringtone, but neither of those two tones does it for me. The "MINI tone" one is a just an extremely annoying jingle. I like the "MINI horn", but I'd just confuse it with normal rush-hour honking in traffic. I'll stick with my standard ringtone for now.

It does work. I was able to get one of the wallpapers. Haven't tried the ringtones yet, though.

EDIT: Just tried the MINI horn ringtone - worked perfectly! I got a message almost instantaneously after putting in my number. For the US, put in +1[your number w/ area code, no dashes or spaces]. For example, +17035551212

I get a blank text message in return.. no link. I'm with sprint maybe thats the deal but I am able to send myself ringtones as text (links to download). If anyone is sharing the file I'd like it too.

I have tried to get the "turn your mini" wallpaper but whenever I hit send I get an error message that says "please try again later". I am on Cingular & I don't have a Nokia phone but my phone does support wallpaper with motion. I tried entering +1 & my phone #. If anyone has the wallpaper on their phone & knows of a way to send it to me I would love to have it. PM me for my phone # or tell me how in the heck to do it
