How to set a ring tone to text message for lg ph 9703 smart phone

SOURCE: On the LG VU CU920, how do you set ringtones as message alerts?

After going through the manual and talking to an AT&T rep, I found that it is not possible to set your own ringtone as a message alert tone. You can only use your own ringtones for calls and ringer ID's. We're stuck with the 10 pre-loaded rings for the message alerts. :(

Go to settings to phone to sound and select message tone. (or on those lines). There you will find a list of all the ring tones, including your MP3 collection. Select the ringtone that you have as your ringtone.

You CAN set a song as your text alert tone. Here are the steps:
1- Go to: Settings> Profiles>
2- Select your options (e.g. normal, vibrate and ring, etc....)
3- select Options> Customize (2)>
4- Highlight "Message Sound" and select Options> Customize (2),
5- Then browse to the folder your song or sound is in (e.g. audio) and select the file you want to use and save it.

I noticed that the songs have to be under 30 seconds to use as any type of alert tone for calls or texts.

Hopefully this helps.
