  Version: Xingtone Ringtone Maker 4.2.01

  "If you need support from Xingtone kiss your cash GOODBYE!"

  by rcox1963 on September 29, 2005

  Pros: This product makes adding ringtones to my phone very simple. I could do this all myself with itunes and audacity and bluetooth but with Xingtone I just pop is a CD and have a cool ringtone on my phone in minutes.

  Cons: What? No ZERO star ratings. OK, then I give it a ONE.

  I downloaded the trial, liked it and bought it. I was sent a serial number which displayed an "invalid" error message when I attempted to upgrade the software to the paid version. Despite NUMEROUS attempts to contact Xingtone all I have gotten back in the past two weeks is ONE form email saying they got my support request and another canned response culled from the FAQ which I had already read.

  Xingtone is the poster child for bad customer service from technology companies. There web site is basically a brick wall. The only way in is a web-based form. You can't speak to a real person. They won't call you (even though they have your cell phone). Their e-mail replies are canned, auto-gen responses.

  At this point I am out $20 bucks and am forced to file a chargeback request with my credit company to get that back.

  If you are willing to wager $20 that the product will work flawlessly then go for it. Otherwise, STEER CLEAR.

  PS, I had to laugh when I saw the COO of Xingtone posted a response to previous criticism - that Xingtone has "tremendous customer support". What a hoot!

  Then there is this whopper from the COO:

  "We guarantee a 24 hour customer support response."

  Ha!!!! I guess by that they mean that within 24 hour you will get an auto-gen email that reads "This is an automatic acknowledgement to let you know that we have received your inquiry. There is no need to reply to this email."

  Or maybe they mean they will give you a "response" that does not resolve the problem and no way to indicate to them that the response did not resolve the problem. Basically, here is AN ANSWER to your email. If that helps great otherwise tough luck buddy!

  If you go to Google and search "trouble with Xington" you can easily find my blog post at The National Debate.

  "make unique ringtones / save $$$"

  by eskee on September 19, 2005

  Pros: With this program, it's so easy to create custom ringtones with your own music - you'll kick yourself for buying them in the past. Once you download one, you'll want to make 10 more - it's addictive, but the one-time flat fee for unlimited tones is amazing - finally, a product that high-fives its customers.

  "One of the worst programs on download.com"

  by sabir_cheena on September 24, 2005

  Cons: The program takes 8 minutes to analyse each song. I can burn a whole disc of mp3's in that time. You have some useful programs on your web site but this certainly isn't one of them.

  "Not reconfigurable and no customer support available"

  by Ronzini on September 16, 2005

  Pros: Will let you convert and midi or wav file to a ringtone sound file

  Cons: App uses SMS messages to send ringtone to phone via web. So you also have to have a web enabled phone and pay message and web access charges. If you ever change phone numbers, forget about hearing from customer support to reconfigure the app. My advice, get a bluetooth phone instead and download sounds from your PC.
