previous phone mp3 ringtones

[ethan]

Do my previous (mp3) ringtones have to be converted to an iphone format to enable me to use them on my Iphone? Only just received this phone and so I need a little time to understand all of its features. Thank you

they need to be converted to .m4r files check the iPhone sticky or this guide:

Thanks for the advice but will this work with the latest itunes as I read somewhere that Apple had patched the ability to change/convert to .m4r?

Oh I should have previously stated that my "old" ringtones are under 40 secs and are just musical/jokey tones not musical songs. Obviously they were previously paid for as well so there should not be any digital rights management.
