I have a Motorola V265 CDMA phone. I have an .mp3 on my computer. I want it to be the ringtone on my phone. Does my phone support this, and if so, how is it done? I don’t think I have mail but I do have text messaging.

Google isn’t helping me on this, and I am ignorant in mobile technology, so maybe somebody can help me out here.
