Receiving 1 MMS text with ring tones Questions.

I have a phone that can only have ring tones added via enhanced text (MMS/pics and vid). My questions are:
1. What is the cost to send 1 of these types of text....does the actual size of the attached ring tones matter?
2, If the size of files does not matter in regards to cost of this text, what is the maximum amount of kb or mb
   that can be sent in 1 MMS text?   
I have only sent one of these types of texts via my email account to add 4 ring tones to my phone.  Some of them
were not loud enough when actually used on the phone.  I would like to add many more to my phone, but want
to understand the fees I would get if doing so.  I only have the basic $5 monthly text plan feature.  Thanks for your help.

Ok.....in regards to my $5 text plan:
I understand that I can send the pics and vids in a text, I just did not know if I would get charged extra data type fees to send a text like that.  No, they are all text, and part of your 250 messages.
So then on all the 10 possible blocking settings there are.....as long as I have them all blocked except  "Block Picture and Video Messaging",  I will not be charged any additional fees?  Correct.  The only fee would be per message if you went over your 250 message allowance.
In regards to sending ring tones via a email from my PC to my phone:
I will get a $0.25 charge fee for every email sent to my phone with the ring tones added ?  No, this is also a text message, and will come in as a picture message.   I am trying not to get any additional fees charged to my monthly service.  (to do this I have to take off the "Block Premium Messaging"  and or "Block All Data Services"  ?  Same settings as above, you can leave the Premium message block on, make sure picture and video messaging is allowed.  Although it's a sound file, the message is treated as a picture message.
Thanks again for your help.

  • Receiving mms texts with AT&T what a pain to get in the account!

    Ok when I get an mms I gotta go to that link and put in the message I'd and a pass word. No matter how many tes I type and retype it t won't log In. Is there an easier way? Why does the message I'd and pass gott be different every time I ger a mms?

    Just have people type your e-mail address into the "To:" field when they send, instead of your phone number. Then you will get it in e-mail and can look at the pic without going to any site at all.
    No, they do not need internet or e-mail on their phone to do this.

  • HT201401 When I receive a call my ring tone only sounds 40 seconds or less and then  stops and disconnects the call. What can I do to solve this problem?. I lost a lot of calls because of that.

    When I receive a call my ring tone only sounds 40 seconds or less and then  stops and disconnects the call. What can I do to solve this problem?. I lost a lot of calls because of that.

    Ring duration & voicemail are all controlled by your carrier. Your issue seems to be voicemail...doesn't appear to be setup on your phone. I'm not aware of any carrier that permits a cell phone to ring longer than 30 ~ 40 seconds, so that appears to be normal. Contact your carrier as it looks like your issue is voicemail.

    I meant SMS and MMS text messages in my previous question.  I'd like to thank everyone in advance for their help.

    Instead of posting this as new thread, you really should have posted your correction to original post as a reply to the first message so that they form a single thread. In that way no one has to go hunting to find the various bits and pieces.

  • Ring Tones Question

    I just created and purchased a ring tone from within iTunes. Unfortunately, I did not do much research prior to doing this! I do not have an iPhone. I thought I could simply create and purchase a ring tone and send it to my phone (Nokia) much as if I were on my service provider's website.
    Is there any way to use my new ring tone on a non-iPhone?

  • Cannot send/receive MMS texts, have AT&T as carrier.

    Anyone know what could be wrong? I've tried sending and I've had someone try sending pix to me but it isn't working. In the message inbox there's a clock icon next to the Subject of the message, don't know if that means anything?

    I had this same problem when I ported my phone number over  from Virgin Mobile to Verizon. I could send or receive messages from ATT. For 3 months I went round and round, ATT said it was on the Verizon end and Verizon said it was on the ATT end.  I called Virgin Mobile and they said it was not on there end either. I was  on the phone with customer service everyday for 3 months, and they were great and tryed everything and could not figure it out.  So I had my number changed and everything was fine, but I still wanted to know why I had this problem, I went on the Virgin Mobile web site and read every word of the contract and somewhere in there in very very small print there was a clause about if you could only send text messages from a virgin mobile phone. I was able to text Verizon and Virgin mobile but not ATT. I think because they have a certain amount  of available numbers in an area that different cell companies don't want  to have to many of there numbers ported out.  Good Luck in trying to get yours fixed.

  • TS2972 having trouble with ring tone and or ring back tones...i followed all directions and cant access ring tone from my play list.

    having trouble with ringtone and ringback tones ..i followed all directions for home sharing.  does anyone have a real solution???

    Hello sairdoor123
    From what I understand the issue seems to be with the hardware, obviously since the phone was dropped that could cause undesired results.
    If all your data is backed up to a computer then I would recommend doing a hard reset: http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
    If a hard reset is done then I would caution you with the following choices:  ( Should I have the audio circuit repaired as suggested by one of the repair guys? Or would that be risky?) - I would say this is risky because the person repairing the devise could easily sodder the wrong part of the hardware.
    If you really do think repairing the circuit board is more cost effective then I would recommend researching all your possible repair shops before doing any work. Make sure they have the credentials and experiences.
    Hopefully things work out for you.

  • Can i send and receive mobile texts with bb bridge?

    I would like to know if its possible to use my t-mobile messaging service using the bridge mode through my playbook.
    Do I need to download an app from t-mobile? When I open messages, the file is empty, and there is a load of messages on my phone.

    There is an app in appworld called sms bridge for playbook. it is used on the phone. it converts to an email and you can reply and it converts back to txt. there is a small fee but works well.

  • Problems receiving MMS with Video

    I have Alltel (if it matters) and have only had my curve a few days.  When I receive mms messages with video, I am directed to go to axcessmypics.com to retrieve the message.  When I do so, I am only able to view a still of the video.  There is no way to play it.  The video never plays from the message itself.  These videos are being sent from friends, most of whom have verizon, none of whom have a blackberry themselves.  Is there some software I need to have on my phone in order to view these?

    At this point in time Alltel doesn't support MMS messages on their BlackBerry devices. I believe I read somewhere that they will be changing that, but I don't have a firm date.

  • Advice needed regarding hands free ring tone

    I own a curve 8520 & also use a Bluetooth Supertooth visor go hands free kit in the car.
    When the two items are paired and i receive a call the ring tone from the hands free kit is not the same as the ring tone on the phone.
    When this happened with my W810i i was told it was due to the phone not being a2dp compatible ? if i have the correct name for it.
    Can you advise how i can make my ring tone play throught the hands free the same as the phone.

    Thanks Russ. If I remember right, I have been following your advice regarding archiving of projects.
    I do import using optimized media. I do not understand what you mean by trashing Pro Res files. Where are they located? I tried to find out by openeing up the one archived project and have found this:
    I clicked open the 'info' for all the four icons and have found that the Render files had occupied the largest space. Upon clicking open the render files folder, I found this:
    Can you guide me further? Where are the Pro Res files you have mentioned?

  • MMS texts

    I can send and receive MMS texts but cannot reply nor can I tell who is sending me the messages unless they sign their name.  What am I doing wrong???

    Hang on.  It's not you. BB's sometimes take some getting used to. 
    What is in your messages settings? Go to: messages-Blackberry button (menu)-options-general options
    The "threads thing" is what we are writing in right now.    The "thread" is the correspondence you started to try to get the answer to the problem you are having with your BB.  A 'post' is each individual's response within a "thread".  Think of it as a "thread" of individual "posts" that make up a conversation that is working to find a solution to a particular user's problem. 
    In my signature I try to remind everyone to show that their issue has been resolved (solved) by clicking the "solution?" box in the post that contains the solution to their problem.   When a thread is shown as solved, it makes it easier for other users who have the same or similar problem to find the solution within that thread.  Have I helped or confused you more?  The former I hope.
