Assuming that you downloaded it from a mobile browser:
Go into the Downloads app, long press the mp3 to select it, then click the 3 dots in the top right, click "Copy to...". Go to internal storage (you may need to click the 3 lines on the top right), scroll to and click Ringtones, then click copy.
Now when you go to select a ringtone in Settings->Sound & Notifications ->Phone ringtone, you should see the option in the list.
Bumping this thread because the above instructions did not work for me. Nothing I put into Internal Storage / Ringtones, or into Internal Storage / Notifications, would show up to be selected!
Background: My Priv is an unlocked AT&T model with the latest OS update (AAQ289) for that model. I had installed a 16 GB SD card but hadn't used it.
What finally did work for me was putting the files at sdcard / media / audio / ringtones (or notifications). I have no idea why that's the only path that seems to work on my phone, but as long as it works, I guess that's what I'll use!
Found a YouTube video that suggested an alternate location: Internal Storage / Android / media / com.google.android.talk / Ringtones (or Notifications), which sounded reasonable because there's already an .ogg file in each. But it didn't work for me either.
The video also claimed .mp3 files would not work; only .wav. That was incorrect. On my phone at least, .mp3, .ogg, and .wav files all work, as long as I use that specific path.
