How-to: How to > Put mp3's as ringtones on your phone

Ok,
I am disappointed in that apparently I have a phone that no one has yet tried this w/ on here at this forum.
It is an alltel samsung sch-r600.
I can Bluetooth the mp3 files to the phone no problem, I can play them, they are in "My Ringtones" folder. But I do not get the option to "Set As" a ringtone at all, I can only play them. Lotta good that does. I tried to use the uploader, FAIL.
I got the sms, but no attachment, I used the web browser, went to the site, entered the code, got the message, "content type not supported".
Am I FUBAR'd on this or what? File size is less than 300kb, I am at a loss as to what to do. I have dozens of custom ringtones that I made and used on my old handset (PPC 6700) but am quickly running outta hair on my head to pull out at this point.
WTF anyone know what I need to try next. Just read through the entire thread, I am going to go and try a few other uploader sites, but I have a sneaky feeling that alltel/verizon has somehow blocked using anything other than what they want you to use. That being said I know there has to be a way.
Help help help please!

does all samsung cell phone has data cable does it come with when i buy the phone or is it optional??

and if it does not come with it does that mean it can't be transfer files via data cable??

why dont you just use data cable to like upload ur own ringtones?

it's free to connect from pc to bluetooth via bluetooth really?

dont get those cd things they were pretty usless for me

kool thanks

Thanks for the advice.

I have a Samsung SGH- T229 and I was trying to create some ringtones of my own. I will give this a try to see if it works.

Awesome

Hiiii! I don't have internet not a ms card. Is there a way I can save an mp3 into my phone or get it from another one via bluetooth and then use it?! HELP!

hey, thanx

I have the Samsung T456, will this work even though I live in Canada? I am using Rogers, and have lots of free tones.

thanks a lot
