I recently bought a Motorola V3I that is unlocked, whenever I change the ring tone settings they dont stay. It say on the phone that the desired ring tone I chose is there, however on recieving a call, the default ring tone comes up, how can I change this?

Hi. Click the link to download the user manual for of your phone then go to page 49 for the procedure how to change the ring tones.

Go onto the music download and click on it then before playing it look at the options they'll either be "set as" or settings. Go on settings or set as and set it as ring tone. If this doesn't work or them options don't appear go onto your main menu and go on either settings or if your phone has one a ring tone setting. Then go onto sound settings. Then click on it and on there should be your downloaded music NOTE: Make sure it's on your phone not stored on your memory card.

Your phone’s four-digit lock/unlock code is originally set to 1234.
The six-digit security code is originally set to 000000.

If you forget your unlock code: At the Enter Unlock Code prompt, try entering 1234 or the
last four digits of your phone number. If that doesn’t work, press and enter your
six-digit security code instead.

you will need to frist add the contacts to your phone memory then edit the contacts and assign a ringtone to each contact you wish.

did the tones come pre installed on the phone? why dont you try using mp3 ring tones? download mp3 songs on your phone, then you can set them as ring tones. they work much beter than ordinary ring tones

go to options ring styles... then for example your ring style is loud, then go to loud detail and there select the type of alert for messages. similarly it applies for all the other ring styles.

just go to the tone u want to select n then press options n then use tone n then use as message tone

Your outter speaker is damaged - you got to love ebay!
Contact your seller and request a replacement or refund because it will cost you upto $50 to fix it

Maybe your provider gave you a fax number instead of a cell number. Or quit redialing the same fax number and try some regular ones.
