> K700i MP3 Ringtones
Bookmark topic
The K700i manual says you can only use some copyright-protected MP3 files specially designed as ringtones. Is there anyway you can create an MP3 file so that the K700i will use it as a ringtone. I have tried and it says 'Cannot use this file'. Are there specific dimensions of the MP3 file that the phone uses?

welcome to esato mate.
is it a vodaphone K700?
vodaphone have decided to restrict the MP3's that you can use. You can only use the ones that you pay fro and download of vodaphone themselves.
pretty annoying.

welcome to Esato
I'll quote you something from the
S700 Ringtones thread from a couple of days ago which might be useful

Got my S700 last week from voda and it has the usual Voda Live annoying crap that goes with it.
I have read in various places that with Voda Live you can only use ringtones downloaded from them. Based on my experience, this ain't true.
While normal MP3's don't work as ringtones, there is a program called Sony Ericsson DRM Packager which converts them to a perfect working format and I have already made a few ringtones that work.
The software can be found here

The other option is to Debrand your phone. Then you can play Normal MP3's

@nleeb68
The DRM packager won't solve your problems. The only option is de-branding. I did it following the lenthy thread on this board, now have full functionallity and no vodacrap branding

@stevehulse, I haven't tried this packager (and don't have a vodafone branded phone) but vlammetje wrote the following in that other thread in response to the post that I quoted, so I am interested why you say this suggestion doesn't work as I don't want to suggest it in another thread if it doesn't work. thanks!

Vodafone has blocked the option for using any non -DRM MP3 as ringtone. The DRM packager from the
developper site does a good job though and is a simple and free solution for everybody with vodafone branded phones.
Thanks a lot mate!

Thanks SteveHulse!!!
So how do I go about debranding? Don't suppose it will get rid of the vodafone label on the phone! lol

If he is having the same problem i have got, then you are wrong. The SE software does make it possible to use mp3s on a branded phone. I have got several i did over the weekend on my s700.
