Transfer a ringtone to new phone

fixerman · 19-11-2005, 16:44

I have got a new Nokia 6230i and I want to be able to use my old ringtone "Hurdy-Gurdy" from my old 6610i. I cannot see how to send it as a message as it is not listed in the gallery on the 6610i.

Please help

Is this one of the included ringtones on the phone? If so, Nokia have a habit of locking their ringtones and it's usually not possible through conventional means, you'd have to get a third party file manager to copy it anywhere.

Yes! It is included in the phone. It is not in the Gallery and I cannot find it using Nokia the nokia PC Suite software. Where can I get a third party file manager?

surely you'd be better to transfer an mp3 of the song to your phone and use that instead?
