First you have to copy the ringtone you wannna use, into the windows/rings-directory. ( my experience tells me that with SMS-tones, it's actually better to just put it directly in the Windows-directory, I have renamed mine, so my custom-ringtone is now my default ) :wink:

Then go to Start/Settings/Sytem/Add ring tone, when it's finished reading all your soundfiles, add the ringtone you want to use.

Then go to Start/Settings/Personal/Sounds & Notifications, open the dialogue-box, scroll down 'till you find SMS- settings, add your ringtone and bingo :wink:

Hope this helps...

Thank you!!

Don't copy them to Windows\Rings.
Copy them to Windows.

made a mistake of purchasing this software called "Ringo" that handles ringtones and sms tones. Should have just moved the ringtones to the \windows folder :-)
