SMS Text Tune

sylus27 · Thread Author #1 10-01-2007, 05:17 PM

Guys - In my active profile I've set an mp3 as the ringer when I receive a text message. However, when I get one my Curve beeps once and doesn't play the song at all. I've missed quite a few because I don't hear the single beep. It plays the correct mp3 for a phone call but for some reason doesn't want to play it for a message. Please help...

To my knowledge the curve will not access a mp3 from a mem card to use as a ringer. I could be wrong, but I'm almost positive this is the case unfortunatley!

I have a curve and half of my contacts have mp3 ringtones. I haven't tried it for a text message, but I know for a fact that mine works for incomming calls. What I did is when I went into profiles and went to vibe and tone. for the tone I had to go to browse and then picked a mp3 that was on my memory card.

Sorry, i was on break at work i didnt have to much time to type! You can use any MP3 tone as a ringtone of course, but for text you can not to my knowledge. Sorry for the Confusion! :P

Can you use the pre-loaded tones to change your sms tone; if so, how? This is my 1st BB, and I've yet to figure out how in the past cpl of days.

Thx in advance.

Okay - it works with about 5 of the 30 songs I have on my SD card. I don't really know why it doesn't like the others, the only thing I can think of is that there's some sort of song length restriction
