You can still transfer the files and listen to them all day long, just can't set them as ringtones. AT&T would have, but they are having trouble doing it because of the technology they use.  However, the newest iPhone does not support the feature. My guess is the new Vu is the same way. Setting bluetoothed songs as ringtones is a thing of the past, everyone has to get their money. PM me your name if you don't care, I was born in that area and still have some family down there.

Status: offline 		Wow. I haven't heard of this, my above post is just a guess. I hate to hear that it is blocked on the new shine as well.  Makes my life easier, get tired of people griping because they can't do this with Alltel, looks like it is hitting everyone now. I've had customers switch to AT&T just because of the Bluetooth issue. Anyone else with AT&T have a phone that is blocked?

Status: offline 		It IS AT&T. In the past months, A Motorola RAZR for Alltel would not do the bluetooth. The same phone with AT&T software would, and due to the technology type AT&T has had difficulty blocking the feature. It is something that they more than likely will be implementing on ALL new AT&T phones. It has already happened with Alltel. At first it was just the new iPhone, now looks like the Vu, it's only a matter of time before ALL new phones are programmed with the software. With Alltel I know people who had a phone that would allow it, had a problem with it that require the software to be updated (flashed); once this software update was done, the people were no longer able to apply the files as ringtones. The phones are manufactured in two major formats: GSM (uses the SIM card) or CDMA (uses serial numbers only, no SIM).  Each carrier then adds their version of software. That is why you see many GSM based phones advertised as unlocked, the software has been hacked and modified so that it will work with any GSM based carrier.  So, it is the software that AT&T used to program that particular phone. This is new, so not sure how long before others are flashed with the same software. I guess you could say it is the phone, but in reality AT&T is the one disabling the feature.

Status: offline 		My post is a guess, I never said I was sure. It could be a different software version since yours, even if you purchased about the same time (our store keeps a large overstock on them, so the one you get from the store we've had for a month or two). Maybe you can walk him through it, I'd like to know, because that is a selling point for some phones.  I hope I am wrong, but I know they have made the iPhone not able to apply the ringtones.

And it also doesnt like to send txts to well.  ANd btw this is my second  one. I sent the first one in under warranty cause it was having all those problems and more. But now my new one has the same problems.

Status: offline 		You can always get another warranty replacement if it can't be resolved. However, if you do that you may be hit with this new software (I guess it's actually firmware) if in fact that is the problem with the op's phone. I've dealt with that often: people get a replacement phone and even though it is the same model it will no longer allow the files to be set as ringtones, but that is alltel.

To set the ring tones you have to go to edit Contacts and at the top it will say save to: and you have to change it from smart chip to headset. Then you can set the ringtone

Status: offline 		OK got one out at work today and started playing with it. From what I can tell, it does support the feature. The files must be under 300kb in order to be set as ringtones, that is equal to approx 20 secs, and it must be in MP3 format. All carriers are suppose to be blocking this, but looks like I was wrong and it hasn't hit AT&T yet. Try that, let us know.

Ok, I'm not following you. My statement is that the newest iPhone does not allow you to set a ringtone received via bluetooth.  Therefore, you have to buy the music if you want it set as a ringtone.  To me that means it blocks the feature (setting bluetooth files as ringtones).
