nokia 6205 and ringtones

[formerdoc5898]

I have a Nokia 6205 and I have three ringtones that I made and are 15-30 seconds long in an MP3 format. I have downloaded them to the MicroSD and then into the phone on Songs, Music, and Playlists. I can access all three of the pieces and play them but I cannot figure out how to move them to the Ringtone category in order to use them as Ringtones. Help!

I believe the ringtones have to be in midi or WAV format.

Are you with Rogers by any chance?

Maybe you could convert them first. That always works for me.

If you want at least a personal high-quality ringtone (can't be applied to your contacts), you can follow the tutorial I wrote on my blog at:

(I can't put the hyperlink because I'm a new member)

Basically, you save the song as a MP4 video file and put it into the "my_flix" folder on the phone. I don't know why Verizon lets you put videos as ringtones.

Hope this helps,
