Troubleshooting Tool
Reasons why you can’t use MP3 files as ringtones:
- Any MP3 format file not purchased directly from Fido or through a legitimate website can’t be used as a ringtone.
- Ringtones are considered public performances. Purchasing a CD or a song for an MP3 player doesn’t give the buyer the right to use it for a public performance, which includes ringtones.
- Any MP3 file used as a ringtone must include digital rights management (DRM), meaning that it was purchased from a legitimate source.
