dingie ringies

We upgraded our T-Mobile to a better phone recently. Unfortunately, it lacks a capability our worse phone had, of being able to record a ring tone acoustically over the built-in microphone. As a result, I have to choose from an array of, frankly, undesirable sounds for my ring.
I spent some time today on the phone with tech support specialists, asking
if I could record one with the microphone (no),
if I could put an mp3 on that I recorded myself (no),
if I could use a USB to the computer to transfer a file (no),
if I could pay for a month of extra service and email it to myself (no),
if I could upload it to a provider who would then let me download it (no).
They also said the ringtone I recorded on my Siemens phone is still on the phone, not on the SIM chip that saved all my phone numbers for me. After a while, he even said that the mp3s wouldn't work as ringtones, only "HiFi Ringtones" and "Mega" ringtones. He mentioned that I could convey files over from another Bluetooth device, but I don't have one except for Cathy's phone.
I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point, but I still don't like any of the [insert adjective here] sounds that they think I want to have come out of my pocket whenever someone calls. Does anybody here know what I could do? I'm already setting it to vibrate, but there are times I might want to be able to hear it ringing in my backpack.
Oh yeah. It's a Motorola RAZR V3. Grey.

I already have a USB cable, and I had the phone hooked up to my computer, but it didn't recognize it. Say, I haven't tried it with my Mac yet.
Yeah, it sounds like I need to call you when you get back. Thanks!
