Second, the Attachment Service doesn't handle audio files. To get a ringtone onto the BlackBerry, the ringtone needs to be posted to a Web site with a link on a web page that you can browse to with one of the BlackBerry's browsers. When you click on the link, the file will play. From there, you can click the wheel and select Save from the pop up menu. Once saved it will be available as a Ring tone.

For music (Pearl/8100 only), use Desktop Manager 4.2's Media Manager. I'm not sure if it handles ring tones.
