Question: What happens once my phone receives a ringtone sent by SMS?

Answer: Your phone will automatically recognize the message as a ringtone and prompt you: "New ringing tone received". You will then be given the option to listen to it, delete it or store it and keep it.

If you use a Motorola phone, the message that you will receive should look like a normal message with non-sense data in it. However, if you select &options,& you will be given the possibility to listen to and store the melody.
