Couple of things can be happening.

1. your phone may be locked which will limit you from using your own and forces you to buy from them, totally unethical and bull but.., and you need to either unlock it or hack/patch the registry or XML setting that controls it. As suggested by rudeboy, if you search for it, I am sure you will bump into one. I have an unlocked phone, so I don't know.

2. you may not have your phone configured right or not trying to apply it correctly. Although it "should" appear in the list if its in the folder, just play it or go through the file manager and use the menu to set as ringtone and go from there. NOTE: this requires an unlocked phone and one that is not bastardized by the phone company either.

good luck.
