You will need to access your phone as an external storage device and save your ringtones onto the SD card.

Plug your phone into your computer with the USB cable. On your phone, pull the notification screen down and select USB connected. Select "Mount". Your computer will now recognize your phone.

Go to your SD card and you will need to create a directory titled Media. Inside this directory, create another directory title Audio. Within this directory, create one final directory titled Ringtones.

Place any supported sound files in that final directory and they will appear in your ringtones list.

You can also create an Alarms directory, and use any supported sound files as alarms for your phone.

Remember to pull the notification screen to turn off the usb storage.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Change ring tones

TXgrl, To change your ringtone, try the following: 1. Press Menu 2. Goto and select settings 3. Goto and select ring styles 4. Goto and select style detail From there you should be able to find the ringtone option and you would select that to see other ringtones to select from.

To change the contact from sim to phone, try this: 1. Goto Menu 2. Goto and select Phonebook 3. Goto the contact you want to save to the phone and press menu 4. Goto and select edit 5. In edit, there should be a option saying, "Stored", if it's saved to the sim, it will say sim, select edit or press left/right and it will change it from sim to phone. 6. When saved to phone, some options should appear. One of them is ringer id. 7. Select edit on ringer id and that's where you'd select the ringtone to use for that contact. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Let me know how it works out. thanks. John
