Nokia 6225i - Assigning mp3 as ringtone for a contact?

Hello,

Just purchased my first Nokia phone, the 6225i (with Alltel). So far, I like it very much.

My question is in regards to using an mp3 as a ring tone for a specific contact in my phonebook. How do I do this and/or can it be done?

I'm able to get the mp3 I transfered via infared from my Axim X50v PDA to act as the default ringtone for the phone. However, I can't see a method for assigning the mp3 to a specific person in my contacts as their very own ring.

Any ideas? Until then, I'll keep searching.

Thanks,
Chris

should be around the phone book option shouldnt it!?

You'd figure, but I've think I've scrolled through all options.

For example, I pick a person in my phonebook, click on details, then options, and then have a menu of things I can do (ie. add voice tag, edit number, etc.). The only one that seems applicable to adding a specific ring tone is "Custom Tone." I click on that, and it gives me all the standard Nokia ring tones and one called "default" which I assume refers to the mp3 file that I have set as my default ring (I'd set the default as my custom ring for this person, but what would be the point because then the person would simply have the same ring as any default call). I would think I'd see something like "Gallery" listed so I could pick a tone from the Gallery that list my music files but Gallery just isn't listed.

Contrast the above with this (for setting the Mp3 as my default ring which I have been able to do). If I got to settings, then "tone settings", then "Ringing tone", it pulls up all the standard Nokia tones BUT also has a listing for "Open Gallery." If I click on that, it opens the gallery with all my MMC downloaded files and ring tones. If I click on the mp3 I want and hit options you can than hit "set as ring tone." Of course, this just sets this mp3 as the default generic ring tone.

Hopefully someone has figured this out because it just seems odd that Nokia would allow you to save the mp3 as the default ring tone, but not allow you to save the mp3 to a specific contact in the phonebook.

Thanks for any help. Other than this minor puzzle, this phone is a major upgrade in features compared to my previous Motorola phone.

Please, anyone. . . this is my first Nokia phone. I'm dure the 6225i works in a similiar fashion as other Nokia phones.

Surely someone out there has wanted to use a downloaded mp3 as a customized ring tone specifically for someone in their phonebook?

If you know how to do it or know that it can not be done please let me know.

Thanks!

I need to know this as well.

Don't waste your time in this forum. I've had the question posted since June 29th.

I did google search for cell. phone forums last night to find another forum and came across Howard Forums. Asked the same exact question and had an answer right away. I haven't tried to do it yet, but here is the link to the thread:

I really like this phone other than the lack of this feature. I have registered a complaint with Nokia and Alltel concerning this perceived (on my part) problem. Hopefully Nokia will see the error of their ways and correct this issue.

Maybe if enough people complain to Nokia they will speed this fix.
