This NG is for wireless computer networking devices (802.11). You'd
probably have better luck in one of the cellular phone NG's.

....but, since it looks like you are posting from a web portal, I'll try
help.

Yes, make your recording as an .mp3 as her phone is more than likely able to
playback .mp3's
(Do you know the model?)

Then to transfer the .mp3 to the phone:

Can you get physical access to the phone (and the phone's computer cable)
you want to transfer to?

If so, just plug it into your computer. (Likely USB port.) Most phones
these days have a "file transfer mode", in which they (along with any memord
cards in the phone) appear as a drive(s) under Windows. You don't need to
install the phone (Nokia, Ericsson, etc) PC software. Just plug it in and
go from there. Copy your .mp3 to an appropiate directory (ringtones, music,
etc.)

If you don't have a cable, but the phone and computer both have Bluetooth,
you can use that. Probably won't need to install the phone PC software, but
may need the Widcomm drivers.

If you don't have access to the phone at all, then you need to allow the
..mp3 to be pulled from the phone some other way.

Since you said you don't have a phone, SMS is out.

Does the target phone have the ability to receive internet email with
attachments? If so, just email the .mp3

Does the target phone have the ability to access the web? If so, just put
the .mp3 on a website.
