Custom ringtones on the Alias 2

[im_annoyed]

I used to have ATT and this was very easy but now I'm having headaches with my new Verizon phone.

How do I actually use a custom ringtone that I save to my microSD card?  I can play it through the music player but there's no options other than play.  I've read that I can email my ringtone as an attachment to my phone but will this charge me data even if I have unlimited texting (including pix) in my plan?  I shouldn't even have to do that if I have the file on my phone already.  Please help.

Thanks

You can either text it to yourself then you should have the option to save and set as ringtone or attach it to an e-mail and send it to your phone using yournumber@vzwpix.com, make sure the clip is only 30 seconds or less.  You can also send from phone to e-mail just inputing your e-mail address instead of a number.  Mary

No data charge, it will count as a text message.  Mary has provided instructions... I shouldn't even have to do that if I have the file on my phone already.  On some phones you can use ringtones from the SD card.  On others the file has to be on the phone memory itself.  The Alias2 sounds like it uses ringtones from the phone memory, so you will need to receive it as a text message and save it as a ringtone to get it to work.  Technically if it is on the SD card it is NOT actually "on the phone".  Please help.
