Make ringtones out of your own mp3s – free.

Really. I’ve used this website before to make ringtones for my BlackBerry. The overwhelming majority of the ‘get ringtones’ sites out there are actually expensive subscription services. They will give you a ‘free’ ringtone that they have already made, and next thing you know, you’re getting a $9.99 or $19.99 charge on your phone bill every month. Make Own Ringtone is not like that. It is not a subscription service. It’s an easy to use Flash based tool that will simply crop audio files that you already have and make them ringtone friendly.
Here’s a screenshot of what the tool looks like:
You simply upload your files (mp3/aac/ogg and a few other formats) and edit them with the Flash tool, and then you can save it to your computer, send it to your phone, or have it emailed.
You can also do similar stuff with iTunes, but unless you have an iPhone, it’s a little more difficult to get them onto your phone. The basic concept is the same, and some directions on how to do it can be found here.
Stay away from the ‘subscription’ services because they can be really difficult to cancel, and there are other free (really, free!) alternatives out there.
