After months of owning a 8700 I finally came around to update the ringtones. Been using one of the defaults, SPELL I think it's called. Anyway, did some research about transferring ringtones and found one way is to email me a link of the url where I post the file to my own webserver.

I tried this with a mp3 file and my device said it was an error and could not load this file because it has no app associated with it. I thought 8700 could do mp3 files? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I'm running OS v4.10.284 on the Fido/Rogers network.

You need OS 4.2 in order to do mp3's on the 8700.

Follow the instructions in the thread below to upgrade your OS.

Thank you John. I'll give it a try tonight.

Wow! What a difference from the old OS I was using. It's like a new device that I need to learn again.
