Why can't you change the SMS tone?

One of the many caveats I still have with the iPhone OS. Another caveat is the fact we can't decide between full screen pictures for incoming/outgoing calls and the mini pic on the top right.

Strange but all of a sudden I don't feel like changing my sms tone....😛😀

If you add the contact picture from the phone it will be fullscreen, if you add it on your computer you get the mini pic on the the top.

I know that one. I just wish I could choose directly from the phone itself. Would make things much, much easier.
I know that,but if you read my original post you will see I have no interest in jailbreaking my phone 😉
Sorry if I wasn't more specific,why can't you use a custom tone instead of the few options Apple gives you?
😛😉
lots of times that doesnt even work and fusterated me to no end!
I tried with my gf's picture for days doing the trick and for some reason finally it worked.it'd always change back once i syncd .ugh! they need to really make it simplier

I wish I could change it too... however it's WAY better than what other companies offer (except for BlackBerry).
My cousin got a phone last year and the SMS tones pre-loaded on the phone, I kid you not, were about 15 seconds long... they were like a ringtone. It was the most retarded thing I've ever discovered and we couldn't figure out how to load our own... so he returned the phone lol.
I don't remember the name of the phone, but if it comes to mind I will edit this post. (I believe it was an LG though...)

Not everyone does or can jailbreak their phone. Jailbreaking is a poor excuse to make up for Apples shortcoming and failure to implement the most basic of features.
