I have several ring tones from you on my phone. I just purchased an iphone. Can you help me with transferring these to this phone? I am on ATT service now.
You had to help me when I was with Verizon.
Thank you,
Putting any audio file on the iphone as your ringtone is no problem. It's actually getting the file from your source that could be the issue. In the old days (last year) companies would provide a link for your phone to directly download a sound file to play on your phone. Now, with smarter phones like the iphone, this is unnecessary however this also means that that company will now loose money so they don't want you to be able to download the actual audio file.
OK new information. I went on itunes and found a couple of sounds that are acceptable. I paid for them $ .99 mind you! And they are on my playlist in itunes. HOW do I get them to a specific contact? Thought this might be easier than using the other ones.
Sounds like you're solving your own problem! That's great. You can purchase ringtones from itunes but you can also create and edit them within garageband. It's included on your mac if you are using a mac.
Here's tutorials on each:
From the iPhone home screen, tap the Phone icon. In the Phone application, tap the contacts icon in the bottom center. From your contacts list, select the person who you want to assign a ringtone to. When that person's contact information appears, tap the Edit button in the top right corner. When the contact information is editable, you will see an item below their phone number that reads "Assign Ringtone." Tap that. When you do, the list of iPhone ringtones available to you will be displayed. Select the one you want. When you have selected the ringtone, tap the Info icon in the top left. This will return you to the person’s contact information.
