I dont know how to save a photo or ring tone when i recieve it in a text message.

hi, it not usually possible to save ring tone received via text message..try tell the person to resend it through blue-tooth or infered.

Go to the sounds icon in the upper left corner of your main Home screen (the one that looks like a speaker with sound coming out of it). Scroll down the list that appears and select Set Ring Tones/Alerts. Click Messages, then SMS Text. Select the ring tone and volume that you want for text messages, as well as any other options (like vibrate) and then exit out and save your changes.

- Applications
- Sounds
- Set Ring Tones/Alerts
- Messages
- SMS
- Select Tone, Volume, LED, Vibrate, etc
- Press BB Menu Button
- Save

Go to Menu, Setting, Sound Profile, select profile, I prefer Normal, go to the drop down menu (you should see Call), select Message, go to Message Alert Type and choose Melody, go to Message Alert Tone and touch Tones (bottom right corner) select the tone of your preference, press Add and Save... have a Blessed day!

Boost Mobile does not accept ringtones from 3rd parties, whether its sent via email or mp3 attachment. U might want to try sending it through the SMS. Maybe u can save it that way. Only way I've been able to get ringtones is thru the Boost site only. No "free ringtone" websites are able to send ringtones thru a message, cuz Boost blocks this. And Ive tried them all. Until they provide us with phones with SD cards, were outta luck, sorry.

Most samsung models dont let you use ringtones as txt alert. Soz.

Hello there! thanks for using Fixya.com!

Try the following instructions, to personalize your Nokia E50!
Profiles
Warning: In the offline profile you cannot make or receive any calls, or use other features that require network
coverage. Calls still may be possible to the official emergency number programmed into your device. To make calls,
you must first activate the phone function by changing profiles. If the device has been locked, enter the lock code.

Select Menu > Tools > Profiles.
You can adjust and customize the ringing tones, alert tones, and other device tones for different events, environments, or caller
groups.
To customize a profile, scroll to the desired profile in the list, and select Options > Personalise.
Define the following settings:
• Ringing tone — Select a ringing tone from the list, or select Tone downloads to open a bookmark folder containing a list of
bookmarks for downloading tones using the browser. To listen to the selected tone, select Play. If you have two alternate
phone lines in use, you can specify a ringing tone for each line.
• Say caller's name — Activate the text-to-speech ringing tone feature. When someone from your contacts list calls you, the
device sounds a ringing tone that is a combination of the spoken name of the contact and the selected ringing tone.
• Ringing type — Select how you want the ringing tone to alert.
• Ringing volume — Select the volume level of the ringing tone.
• Message alert tone — Select a tone for received text messages.

What phone do you have?

In order to use tones other than the presets for text messages, you have to put new .WAV files on your phone. Any 8bit .WAV file will work; just connect with ActiveSync and navigate to your /Windows directory on your phone, and place the files there. You will then be able to use them as text message alert tones.
