1. Once you have transfered the MP3's into the Audio folder and disconnected the cable etc.
2. Make sure your phone is out of the silent mode.
3. In the phones menu go to "3.Profile"
4. Select the "Outdoor" option or whichever you prefer from the list and then go down to "Personalise"
5. From the list select "Ringtone" and then select "Download"
6. Select the "Audio" folder and then just choose whichever MP3 you want and then just save it as a ringtone by pressing the top left button

hope that helps

Got it working now, it appears I was using the wrong profile

Thanks for the help

Already tried that but still cant get any results still saying empty file even though when I look in windows explorer it say the files are in my phone. Have even looked under mp3 player - all files say empty file.

ahhh !!! the phone will only play mp3 files, so you will have to convert them from wma to mp3 using conversion software.

P.S i have PM'd you some software that is quite good and is free

Thanks

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

Many thanks have now sorted problem though someone suggested switch as soft ware which I found easier to follow. Thanks again

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

I'm on also xp and don't get that convert audio file option either.

I got my new battery and my cable this morning and the cable works brilliantly. I'm so happy! :D

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

Find a screen snap of where "Audio Convert Format" appears, should be attached...........NickThefox

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

I wonder why it doesn't show on my xp :confused:

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

No joy for me i'm afraid! First they promised a data cable within 7 - 10 days with no joy but a froogle link to a site that doesn't sell them (?), then an apology sent on the 5th of this Month that they had new stocks and i will recieve one within 7 days. You can all guess the outcome ;)

Why lie to me? If they can't source the cables for a phone that they sold me months ago then i can only assume they are incapable of running a business and i would advise any other potential virgin mobile/media customers to stear well clear.

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

Well ive been searching for a cable for months and have just found this site! Just sent an email to virgin so...well...fingers crossed :p:

good luck, i was in the same situation as you until i came across the thread on here, emailed Virgin and ended up getting it around 6 weeks later...for free, works just like a plug and play device, no need for any software or anything :D

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

Hi, I got a virgin lobster 575 for christmas and i hav been tryin 2 get a cable 4 bout 4 months now!!! I rang up vorginmobile bout 1 month ago & they told me to go to a virgin mobile store or the store i got the phone from, and see if they have any in stock which they, of course didn't!!! pez help me im getin desperate!!!:help::bigcry:

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

sorry to hear about that.

Ring up Virgin Mobile and just be really firm with them and tell them all the hassle and messing about you've been put through by them already and demand one!!!

Having said that, i managed to get one after a couple of emails. But i think a firm phone call should do the trick

Good luck

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

Sick and tired of beeing peed about so i sent this ..

OK! Now i'm fairly peed off!!

Initial request for a cable 31/10/06 over six months ago.

01/11/06 Nathan Pitcher - Tracking #A00000580354-00003961219
Nathan sends me a link to www.m-99.co.uk suggesting they stock my lobster 575 data. They don't! They pulled the product due to high customer returns.

10/11/06 Chris Hodges - Tracking #A00000580354-00004018574
Told Chris that without a cable the MP3 and 1.3 MP camera was useless without a data cable and asked if i can return it for a refund. Good news, i can if bought within 28 days! Unfortunately for me i bought before that period expired so that wasn't much help.

03/02/07 Victoria Cooper - Tracking #A00000580354-00004526905
Good news :) They have received new stock of the cables so i will get one within the next 7 days! Nice one, now maybe i can use my MP3 phone and get the pictures i've taken with it onto my PC.

16/02/07 Tony Davies - Tracking #A00000580354-00004608256
Seven days had long passed and still no cable :( Tony tells me they did have cables but i didn't get sent one!! Awaiting new supplies.

27/02/07 Mark Elliot - Tracking #A00000580354-00004681852
Now i'm getting somewhere :) Mark promises a cable will be sent out within the next 7 days. Hang on, Victoria said that 2 weeks ago didn't she? My hope is raised when Virgin Mobile call me that night to confirm :)

23/03/07 Daizi Reynolds - Tracking #A00000580354-00004834985
Daizi now tells me that they have no stock of the cable but promised i would get one within the next four weeks. Daizi wrote that she'd understand if i switched networks. Nice of her i suppose?

TODAY
Still no cable, no call, no email or any sign of the above mentioned actually doing anything to help at all. For six months i have received nothing but lies from your Mobile Choice award winning customer service department.

My family own four mobiles phones all locked to Virgin Mobile. I am so upset by your lack of help that I feel I must ask for unlock codes so that i may switch our network provider.

Is there a secure email address where i can send the IME codes?

Thank you.

Re: Lobster 575 USB Data Cables

The data cables are worth more than the actual phone on eBay !!!
