Mid. I also think amr is also possible. No info about length though. There is another thread of similar name where DC-UK had a try.

The sms sound that plays in the main speaker when not making a call are stored in midi format. The sms sound that plays in the background of the call is stored in amr format. If you replace these sounds they must have the exact same name as the old and be in the same format - period!
I don't recommend you to do it if you don't know what you're doing! I spent a lot of credits finding my ways around how to do it, but most of all, I was willing to accept the fact that I was playing around and that the price could be a dead phone without any warranty! If you cannot accept that, DON'T DO IT! (But... even a dead phone can be woken up though.)
Don't play around with different file formats than the original ones. Don't play around with different names than the original ones either. And - of course - you cannot use SE Tool with IR - period!
I can't recommend you where to get a cable since I don't recommend you to do this! Why? Because I don't know what skills you have and if you are willing to loose all the money you spent on your phone. Lastly, if you don't write the script correct, then SE Tool will still use up your credit(s)...
gbrooks3 and vee tought me what I know in this subject, but most important - I accepted that I could have a dead and useless phone afterwards and go straight out and buy a brand new one without nagging... so, what you need to know is found here on esato (just search and read) and if you are willing to take the risk, fine with me... but don't just "say" that you're prepared to take the risk - mean it!

I am not familiar with this credits thing,each time I want to change the sms sound it will cost me money? I though only firmware upgrade was not free with setool

Of course I will not go for destroying my k700
-I don't have ''credits''
-I wanted mp3 for sms alert
-the rs232 cable seems to be not suitable
Now that setool has revealed this sms secret,SE will perhaps give us a new FW which permit us FINALLY to change them with no danger

Mp3 is not possible for sms tones, only midi.

Have to say with what i have read about changing the sms tone using setool, (imho) it sounds rather dodgy, to attempt if you haven't read as much about it a possible, or been advised by someone that has used it successfully.
I would rather wait for a firmware update although i would be very supprised if
made this option available, if they were going to do this, surely they would've done it already ? There's been loads written about this subject, it's a shame that they don't take a lot of notice and do what the majority would like to see happen.
I believe you can have whatever you want as an sms tone on the p900/910 so unlike the p series phones the K700 is aimed at a larger market sector, that with standard tones, is easily recognisable as a
and therfore a clever way for them to advertise/brand their phone ?

I would have to disagree with that gov, although changed slightly from my t610, the tones are fundamentally the same, and each one is recognisable, yes ok not as reconisable as a nokia and a great improvement on nokia's standard 'beep beep' but nevertheless you can tell tell it's an
a mile off with anyone of my 6 tones being used.
