I recently bluetoothed a few ringtones to my phone and can access them
through the sounds section in multimedia. However, I cannot use them
as ringtones and they do not show up under the ringtone list. What can
I do to fix that? Currently there are only four ringtones I can use
that work in both sounds and ringtones.

It's been awhile since I used a v3i but if you go to the sound and select
options or menu you should see an option to apply as ringtone. You could
also copy the sound into MPT and load it as a ringtone.

I still use a V3i and never buy a ringtone or wallpaper. When you
Blutoothed them across did they go to the phone's memory or the memory card?

Check where Multimedia is getting the tones from as in which (Switch)
storage device. Just pick the tone, select Apply as and ringtone and the
sound will be copied to the 'phone's memory.

I did what you said, but the ringtone didn't copy over. It said the
ringtone was changed, but when I checked it the tone was the same. Is
there something else I can do to save it to the phone? I can't find
any options that would do that.

You checked the phone memory to make sure it had copied across? The only
reason I can readily think of why the tone wouldn't play is the bitrate or
similar settings. How large are the non-woring files? Would you be
prepared to mail them to my proper email address so I can twiddle with them
and make them work <vbg> on a V3i? Some of my larger tones are around
125KB, 44MHz I think and quite noisy. Addr is gjgoddard at tesco dot net.

I can think of another reason: He is on Verizon and he has not hacked
his phone yet.

But then he would have told us he had a v3M not a v3i. No?
