"The addition of full-track over-the-air music downloads from Wind-up's independent artists once again demonstrates that Verizon Wireless is meeting the needs of our customers that have a diverse set of musical interests."
How to useV CAST Music
If you are a Verizon Wireless user, you can download songs over-the-air to your phone, the cost is $1.99 per song (of course plus airtime). This will get you two copies of every song, one for your phone and one for your PC. Another option is to choose songs to download to your PC for just 99 cents, and then you can transfer any existing compatible music collection (ie. what you just downloaded) from your PC to your V CAST Music-enabled cellphone or memory card. Transferring directly from your pc is free, so for a little extra management time, this is the cheaper way to go.Until next time, enjoy your ringback tones, and keep coming back to our verizon wireless ringback tones site for more updates and cellphone ringback tones howtos.
