# Posted: 19 Oct 2007 20:38:04 I tried a realtone just for kicks on my W375. It downloaded fine but says "this file type is not supported by this handset" Any Ideas as to what I need to be looking at for types that are supported ? |

# Posted: 19 Oct 2007 20:53:23 it is strange that you have a w375 but your phone identifies itself as a v171? did you used to have a v171? |

# Posted: 19 Oct 2007 20:55:04 Yes I did have a V171, I did the test but it didn't change the phone model |

# Posted: 3 Nov 2007 16:33:23 yea mine wont even download , it either says try later or it just says i got a new message every time i try to download a realtone. |

# Posted: 3 Nov 2007 16:35:15 also, in the manual it says you can only download MP# tones from the phones browser, which ive tested and it does work...but costs like 30 mins per tone.... |

# Posted: 3 Nov 2007 19:00:19 Yeah I got it figured out. You can only download ringtones from the browser, which only goes to the net10 site. It costs 30 minutes for a real tone and 20 minutes for a polyphonic tone. |

# Posted: 3 Nov 2007 22:18:03 yea that blows, hopefully someone figures out a way around this problem, because not only is it expensive but they dont have that many good tones to pick from. |

# Posted: 4 Nov 2007 00:55:16 I would have to agree, although I got alcoholin' ass by hell yeah. I had to hunt through the website to do it though. |

# Posted: 4 Nov 2007 09:17:02 thats cool, im praying that the powers that be on this site figure a way to get files into our phones, i had to go buy a new airtime card just to get tones, that sucks. |

# Posted: 11 Nov 2007 20:29:28 For Net10 and Tracfone: ringtones may not be working until Tuesday. We have delivery issue that will affect older phones on Net10 and Tracfone until Tuesday... dedz looks like he is pretty close, because he got 3 green check marks on his MOT-W375. There should be a way with that phone because it is reaching the wap.crostel.com site ok. |

# Posted: 13 Nov 2007 14:31:28 ok i up loaded a song and i try to send it to my w375 and when i got it is said that the application was removed form the massage as not supported. i guess the only way to get ringtones is to the browser .................sucks |

# Posted: 13 Nov 2007 17:56:32 im not a teckie or anything, but it seems like net10 has made this phone so it cant get free ring tones. doesnt seem to be able to recieve tones in messages, and you also cannot send a ring tone in a message like the older phones. the only way ive seen so far to get tones is to get online and has them sent to you, hopefully there is a way around this because net10 charges to much for tones and they dont have much to choose from :( |

# Posted: 14 Nov 2007 00:10:21 What about pictures? Are they working on the W375? If pictures work, then I think we can get ringtones and realtones (real-audio) to work. |

# Posted: 14 Nov 2007 00:19:56 I've had luck with receiving pictures in an mms message. |
| doug Admin |
# Posted: 14 Nov 2007 00:23:07 It looks like you can receive the text messages from crostel. Have you been able to receive pictures from crostel on the W375? |
| davey Member |
# Posted: 14 Nov 2007 07:47:55 Yes, I can get pictures and poly tones. |

# Posted: 15 Nov 2007 20:25:09 I can receive pictures from this site on my W375, but MP3's are blocked and when I send it as a .wav it sounds horrible and doesn't give me the option to "save as " the way a picture does. |
| dedz Member |
# Posted: 19 Nov 2007 07:19:41 same here, i can download pics fine, but its blocking the mp3 ringtones :( |

# Posted: 9 Jan 2008 19:23:04 yea i cant get them either. also i cant hook my W375 up to my computer it doesnt recognize it. that is the only way i could see us getting realtones on the phone |

# Posted: 10 Jan 2008 01:57:30 Net10 is like TracFone. The only way to get MP3 realtones is to buy them from Net10 and TracFone. They have everything and I mean every way possible to download them blocked except from there own site. I finally gave in and bought 1 cause that's the main reason I bought the W370 in the first place to be able to download MP3 tones. It didn't cost as much as I had expected, just 10 minutes and that included the price of the ringtone and the time it took to download it. I finally got what I wanted, a MP3 tone but I still hope someone will figure out a way to download them for free. Someone has got to be smart enough to figure it out. |

# Posted: 14 Apr 2008 21:14:47 Ok, so I sent myself an email. I got the email. My phones email addy is "myphonenumber@mms.att.net" I have just sent myself(phone) 2 emails with a 13 second mp3 attached. One email without a subject or body, and the other fully filled out. It has been almost 10 minutes, and so far, my phone has not chimed. I will keep you all posted on this situation. |
