I did get it to working. I use AT&T but the phone is unlocked and will work with whatever it is compatible with it. Just change out the simm card thingy. I did find out that you can just transfer them over to the card after putting the card in the phone and doing a power up. It works well. One thing I have found out, you have to transfer the mp3s to the phone then you can set them as a ring tone. The option to do that is not there until it is on the phone. I sort of think that defeats the whole point of having the extra memory but it is the way it is. I think I'm getting the hang of the thing now tho. I am finally getting use to the space key being on the left instead of the right on my old phone. ;-) Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
