[nabs-l] downloading ring tones to I-phone

[Gloria G]

hi,
Thank you for this information. I am going to try this and see how far I 
get. I am not the smartest person when it comes to technology. LOL! Maybe 
there is one more thing you can assist me with. I had someone send me ring 
tones via text message and they came as media files in my text message which 
I was expecting, but when I go to open the message with the attached file, 
it opens it up as a video, and when I try to save it to my phone there is no 
save button but there is a action button which asks me to open up  the media 
file in either messages or drop box.  I can remember phones that I have had 
like the NV2, whenever I would get a pic, video, or any type of audio file, 
there would be an option to save the file to my phone, but I am not finding 
the same thing with the I-phone. I have tried emailing the files to myself 
so that I could open them and hopefully save them to my phone that way, but 
again, no luck because I am not getting an option to save the file to my 
phone. Am I doing something wrong? Again, I am not the most tech savvy 
person around. I am able to do the basic things I need to with my phone and 
computer, but am trying to expand my technological knowledge, if that makes 
since the way I said that. Sorry if these questions are becoming a pain, but 
I figured there would be someone out there a little better with the I-phone 
who could maybe help me. Thank you for any help you can give.
