vodafone have killed your phone. Due to copyrights, voda will not let you use mp3 for ring-tones, without DRM. do a search here.......

P.S. Avoid vodafone and SE like the plague....They've done it with the T610 and K700...(

you should still be able to use mp3 ringtones bought via the voda live! service. voda don't lock out mp3s, just the ones that aren't theirs (i.e. all the ones you'd probably want )

do a search for 'DRM packager' and you will find a detailed guide on how to add DRM to your MP3's so you can play them. I've been told it works on K750.

scroll to the last post in this thread to find where to download the DRM packager itself.

Good luck

Thanks
