This is a new sms alert.

Try it out and let me know what you think.

Sorry to ask what may appear to be a stupid question, but I've dropped this file into "My Sounds" folder where some ring tones already reside and it doesn't show up in "Sounds" in Settings. How do I get to it to hear it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It should be in /IPSM/Application Data/Sounds.

Create the directory if it doesn't exist.

Okay, thanks for the quick reply. Found the aforementioned folder, dropped in "sms.ace". Still can't find it via "Settings" and "Sounds".

Sorry once again if I'm missing the obvious. None of the other sound files in there have the ".ace" ending...

I think that .ace should've been a zip to save on the newbie questions.

darrelt: Download http://www.firaas.co.uk/sms.zip and open it with WinZip or an equivalent.

Okay, tried your direct link but get page not found. Tried changing the .ace to .zip but then when using Winzip to open it I get an invalid archive error.

Woops, try now - forgot to copy it over.

Another option is to install WinRAR - which is a meg or so I think.

Firaas you're a STAR!!! Thanks for your patience with me over this one.

I've already got WinRAR but it's obviously not associated with a *.ace file extension I'm guessing, as the icon didn't change.

Nice SMS alert. On that note (excuse the pun!) the general quality of ringtones seems to be improving; the drumroll, bubbles, dog and creepy ones from Orange Update are pretty good compared to the more than dire default ones which are worse than the standard Nokia ones.

I must admit it made me laugh. Just a minor thing though, when I looked at the wav file in an editor, I saw that it was in STEREO!, which is pointless as a tone on the SPV, and it makes the file size twice as big. I've converted it to MONO, which doesn't affect the quality at all, but halves the file size.
