sending a ringtone to a 6100

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I took an mp3 file and downconverted it to a 16 kHz 8 bit mono PCM
wav file to use a ringtone for my 6100. I created an account on
vzwpix.com and then emailed the wav file as an attachment to
myphonenumber@vzwpix.com. When the message arrive on my phone, it
displayed the text of the message and the following [note the message
states that it is an mp3 but the file I attached was a wav]:

Attachment Dropped:
<filename.mp3> of
type: <audio/mpeg;
name="filename.mp3">

I tried selecting the 'save sound attachment' option but the phone
states that there is no attachment to save.
I then tried taking the original mp3 file and downconverted it to
a 128 kbit mono mp3. Again I emailed it to my phone as an attachment.
This time the message arrived and displayed:

Failed to play PIX message

I'm unable to see the message body and there are no options to
save the attachments. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I don't
want to experiement with it too much because it will get costly at .25 per
attempt. Thanks.

Why rename it? just send it as a .mp3.
