I just get them from audiko.net, all are iPhone ready and you can preview them first rather than relying on someone else's random collection. Been using that for SMS & email tones for months. R2D2 was too much for a text, I got Jawas instead
 
Wow, old threat revival!

iOS doesn't seem to distinguish between ringtones and SMS tones. All of your custom ringtones can be used as notification tones for any of the major system notifications - alerts, email send and receive, tweets, reminders, and of course SMS/iMessages.

iOS won't let you select any ringtone longer than 30 sec for the other tones. Other than that, they're the same.

Can anyone confirm if the difference is that for an SMS alert, it plays once, but for a ringtone, it loops until answered or the call goes to voicemail? Thanks.
 
Is there a size too small to be used as a ringtone?
not that I know of I have one that is suppsoedly "one second"

you see though if we amassed a big enough collection people could just pick and choose from a selection of them without having to download them separately

If you jailbreak that ish, you can download custom tones.
now with iOS 5 you can have custom sms without JB'ing

it plays once, if you do not answer it will repeat again five or so minutes later, then it will no longer notify you.

well done for totally missing my point! Lol

It only repeats like that if you have texts set to repeat though, just to make that clear

no I understood your point quiet clearly and I support using Audiko.net, but having them all in one zip file is also an added bonus as you can one click download 20+ ringtones.

and thank you for making that clear.

My point is that it's pointless getting packs cos you will get tons you prob don't want and also it may not be what you're expecting. But with audiko you can preview so you know what you're getting.

point taken, I Still see value in both though.
