FAQ
I can’t sync to my computer now, how do I install a tone right away?
We wish we could install the tones directly, but the above method is currently the simplest method allowed by Apple. There is a way to install RCP tones immediately to your phone through the iPhone's iTunes app, but it comes at a higher price. Search in the iTunes app for “rcp” and you will find several RCP ringtones that can be directly installed to your phone for $1.29 each.

How can I use these tones for SMS and text messages?
Unfortunately, custom SMS and text tones are not currently supported on the iPhone. We encourage you to write to Apple requesting this feature! iPhone is one of the only smartphones that doesn't support custom text tones.
