Cellular Phones/bluetooth connection fails

Question
Hi,
My boyfriend recently bought a new Razr V3xx.  When I try to send him ringtones from my not quite so new Razr V3xx via bluetooth the connection keeps failing.  As soon as I hit the button to accept the file transfer, the screen goes right back to his wallpaper and I get a message on my phone that the connection failed.  We also tried to put the ringtones on using Motorola Phone Tools, but keep getting an error that the phone will not accept the file.  Help!!

Answer
Unfortunately, you will not be able to send ringtones via bluetooth. The bluetooth connection does not support the transfer of ringtones between these two phones. It is likely that the ringtones on your phone are not supported by his. Do you have the same wireless carrier?
