Nokia 6255i / 6256i
Ringtones for this phone!
I wanted to know if anyone knew how to add ringtones to this phone, in the past I have heard of people saying that they have used voice recording as ringtones, I would please like to know how because when I try it, the phone says the file in Invalid. The weird part is that I can use the voice recorded ringtone as a message alert. What's up with that, its weird if any has in answers could you please respond.

Although there is probably no difference, mine is 6256i.
I too am having difficulties trying to set an AAC or MP3 as a Ring tone.
I can upload both file types to the phone and play them from the phone but when I go to set either as a ring tone it says "Invalid file type".
The file type I haven't tried thus far is MIDI but I don't seem to have the software for this type of conversion (i.e. from CD to .MIDI).
PhoneScoop specification states that custom ringtone file types supported are AAC and MP3. Is this an error or are they referring to the 6255i only?
My concern is that Verizon has arranged an agreement with Nokia to not allow uploaded MP3s as ringtones. This would be extremely unfortunate and, in my mind, unfair.
Any help would be ...

U.S. Cellular's Nokia 6255i has the same problem, unable to set ringtone for *.mp3, *.amr, *.mid, etc. I did talk to one of the U.S. Cellular representative, and it sounds more like Nokia has enabled DRM on the phone. Otherwise, it is a very nice phone despite not able to assign custom ringtone.

Thanks for the reply u27554.
After going through the forum it is apparent that the DRM is the 'Gate Keeper' (so to speak) for custom ringtones ðŸ¤.
I agree that it is a very nice phone and I will reluctantly live with the Ringtone selection (as limited as it is 😡 ).
But, I would like to point out again that Phonescoop specs state that this phone 'supports' MP3 AAC ringtone which is vague and misleading 😕 .
Before I signed the Verizon agreement I was aware that they limited their customers to GetItNow for ringtones and the like. Currently, Verizon is offering only one vendor for the selection of ringtones called Masttones which is mostly a collection of Arabic tunes and/or remixes of US tunes in the Arabic sound. They do offer some U...

So basically what your saying is that the phone only plays Polysonic/midi tone from Get it now and nothing like realtones with American songs?
...
There is a limited selection of American tunes which I believe are polyphonic or polysonic on the GetItNow from one Verizon ringtone vendor called Masttones. It appears that Masttones specializes in Arabic Ringtones (don't get me wrong...I have nothing against Arabic music...It's just not my style). I think these are MIDI tones on get it now.
I am not sure what the difference is between MP3s and realtones, but assuming they are both a replication of the actual song (lyrics and all) the answer is No 👿 Verizon will not let it's users set the ringer to an MP3 or realtone.
The phone (6256i) however can play MP3s and AACs (and like I said, quite nicely).
