I am trying to change my text message ringtone. I would like to put a song from my music as a message ringtone.

Hi,
You can't change the messaging tone to a song from your music playlist, these options for choosing your own music as ringtones are restricted to an alarm tone, phone ringtone and caller ringtone (caller ringtone is when specific people calls you, a certain ringtone would appear for that caller to differentiate between callers)

Thank you for using FixYa!

I havnt found a way for text messages sorry!

i have a samsung gravity t459 nd they only gave me 4 text messgae rintones nd i dont like them so how do i put one of my songs off of my music player nd put as my text messga ringtone

Why don't you have a try to use Daniusoft iPhone Ringtone Maker?

you cannot change your text ringtone to a song, you can only choose from the 4 ringtones provided with the phone, its stupid and im switching to verizon. they have better phones.

If you have version 3 software there is no way that you can use mp3 or downloaded tones as message tones, best thing you can do is upgrade your firmware to version 4. Type this on the dial screen to check your version *#8375#

You have to go into the "My Audios" folder on the phone to access the card tunes. (Menu > 4(Multimedia) > 6(Audios)) for a shortcut. Once you are in the folder, move the highlight to the song you want as a ring tone. Now hit (Options > 6(Move/Copy) > 1(Move)). Now the little icon by the song will be a picture of a speaker without a memory card in front of it. (If it has a memory card icon, it is still on the card) It is on the phone's internal memory now so you can push (Options > Set As > Ringtone/Ringer ID/Message Alerts). You should be good to go!
