    Put the ringtones in the my documents folder - not in any subfolder

    You need a Virgin mobile sim to allow the phone to download the electronic-license file to allow you to watch the TV. For 3 months it's free (BBC1 longer) and after that it is only free if you have a Virgin contract SIM else you pay £5 a month on pay-as-you-go.

    Will any virgin sim do, for example the argos on mentioned earlier on here or does it need to be aspecific one for the tv to work?

    Cheers

    Ok - It should be mp3 or wma format

    Sometimes you need to turn your phone off and on again so do that

    click start and more and more until you can see settings

    go into settings then sounds

    Under ringtone either use your left right arrows to go through the tunes or click on the centre button to get a list of your ringtones

    Well I already have a contract with Virgin so I checked my upgrade allowance, which was enough to order this one for free :)

    @Totoriko & ginjim - I think it's called sarcasm...
    Got them both, hook line and sinker.
    BTW - I hadn't noticed that these have come back into stock again. Fill yer boots.
    ALSO - did anyone notice that this fantastic TV wasn't allowed to show the FA Cup Final?? So much for being able to see that on the move :(
