VX8600 - Cannot get MP3s as ringtone!

Hey everyone,

I got the data cable connector with my new vx8600 and I was able to copy an mp3 onto my memory, then when I go into Get it now-->Music & Tones, it only shows up under "Music", I cant get it to play as a ringer!

Any ideas?

And you won't be able to. It just can't be done with Verizon phones. As I have posted in about a hundred other threads, all you have to do is pix message the :30 mp3 clip to your phone and save it as a ringtone.

Assuming VX8600 works the same as a VX8500

Access Ringtones from a microSD card:Transferring files to the microSD card through the phone using BitPim is very slow, users should transfer files to the card directly from a PC.

On the microSD card, create a subdir called ringers
Copy your ringtone files to the ringers subdir.
Insert the card back into the phone and start BitPim.
Retrieve Ringtone data from the phone:
Menu Data -> Get Phone Data.
Check on Ringtone, and click on OK.
Write Ringtone data back to the phone:
Menu Data -> Send Phone Data.
Check on Ringtone and Replace All, and click on OK.
All of the ringtones stored on both the phone and the card are now available for assignment.
Step 3 through 5 should be repeated for all changes made to the ringers subdir.

Ringtones stored on the microSD card will not show up in the Ringers tab, since BitPim does not add or delete those files.
