Extract built-in ringtone from Moto razr v3 for vzw?

Dear Moto experts, I would like pull a copy of a few built-in
ringtones on my old Razr v3 for Verizon, primarily the loud and clear
British-style bell ringer ("ringring ... ringring..."). The obvious
ways of copying a sound to a memory card or sending a sound via text
message all seem to be blocked/unavailable. Does the Moto phone tools
software allow access to the built-in-from-the-factory sounds? Anyone
know of any other way? Thanks in advance.

Motorola Phone Tools will install ringtones. A quick look at the
software I have makes no mention of copying ringtones *from* a phone.

If you don't have Phone Tools, I'd recommend purchasing the software
simply for the ease of maintaining your contacts data, calendar, etc.
Trying to enter text via the keypad is not something you'll want to do
unless you're desperate! With Phone Tools you just connect your phone
to a USB port on your computer and you can edit your contacts using a
real keyboard. MUCH EASIER!!!! Make sure you get AT LEAST version 5.0.
(If you get something too far "back level" it may not support your phone
and you won't be able to get support (updates) for it.

You might try calling Motorola Technical Support. I believe the 800
number is in the instruction manual for your phone. If, as I suspect,
that ringtone is proprietary, they may be unwilling/unable to help you!

Another possibility is "BitPIM". I'm not certain that I have the
capitalization right but the spelling is correct. It's software for
tinkering with your phone. You want to be very careful with it lest you
do something you don't want and don't know how to undo!

One thing I believe you can do with it is to make a BACKUP of your
phone's memory. You would save the firmware, your contacts, ringtones,
and everything else stored in your phone's memory to a file. Such a
backup might be useful if you make a mistake and scramble something.

Google for "Continental.mp3". It should be in the first found site.

Thanks. I found Mark Venture's web site. I will leave a message for
him.

But continental.mp3 is not the ringtone I'm after. It's called simply
"Rings" in my Razr v3m for verizon. This tone is a very loud, very
clear recording of a clapper-driven bell with a significant amount of
resonance/echo at high frequencies that continues after the ring
stops. The cadence is two approx half-second rings followed by about
2 seconds of silence with resonance, then repeats. I call it a
british ring, which is very likely wrong. It's certainly not the
cadence used in the U.S. by old ma bell.

Well I am happy to report success. The tone is available from Mark
Venture's ringtones page, among others in a collection labeled "STOCK
Verizon V3C Ring Tones, Pictures, and Themes". Here's the link:
