Help How can you use a custom notification tone??

Not my ringtone. My text tone. I know how to change it to one of the ones that come on the phone, And I know how to change my ringtone to a personal one, But as far as the tone when you get a text message goes, Can you change it to a personal tone and not one of the standard notification tones that come on the phone?

go into your applications drawer. select My files. Make a file that is called Notifications. Move the tone you downloaded to that file.

Now go into your main Menu. Select Sounds & display, Notification ringtone, select music, Music...and viola it should be there for you to choose.

It doesn't give me the option of selecting music in notifications. Only thing in the folder is the standard notification tones. :(

Thank you so much for this answer!! I called Verizon to get the answer to this question and while on the phone with them for 35 minutes, I found this. It felt good to be able to tell the VZW rep that I found what I needed here and did not need their help!! Thanks again!!

I am new to this forum, but I will come see you guys before I waste my time with the so called "Tech Support" at VZW from now on!!!
