Customising the ringer for SMS seems to be quite a chore, following are a few methods that i have discovered for customising SMS and call ringtones.
method #1: Copy the mp3 or your choice of music file to My Device\My Documents. Any mp3 there could be set as ringtone for SMS, call, etc. Basically any event could be customised with the music file placed here.
method #2: Copy the file to My Storage. You will have to keep the file on the root folder of the16GB storage space. Similar to method 1, any files placed here could be set to any events.
method #3: Place the file in My Device\My Documents\My Ringtones. Files are can be set as caller ringtone only.
method #4: From any folder, just right click on the audio file (tap and hold), select Set As Ringtone. The system will copy the file to the folder mentioned in method 3 and set it as the caller ringtone.

I can set ringtone for incoming call but for SMS it doesn't affect. I cannot select my ringtone for SMS because it's not in the dropped list.
hmm, is it a mp3 file??
it might b a format that is not recognised?
I have the same problem too.. i can't set it as my SMS tone.. Any help...?
hi calvin, did u try using a mp3 file? cos not all format are supported
thanks for the tip.. method 1 worked for me.. ^^
glad it works for u :)
Save the ringtone you want as a Text notification in the sounds folder in the application Data folder you wont be able to save a lot due to the limited main memory but you can really only have one set to txts anyway so when you want to change it to another ringtone you will have to completely replace it.
You are a genius thank you sooo much!
Is there no way to set a ringtone for each person that calls you from your phonebook? I have all the ringtones but I can only figure out how to set just the main ringtone
Hi Zarshiey
To add ringtone to individual contacts, you hav to go to each contact from samsung phonebook, choose edit > menu > add details > Ringtone.
cheers
