How do you make a song on your phone a ringtone?

Protected question
On most Windows mobile phones:

Click File Explorer on your Windows Mobile cell phone.

Click the your music folder, wherever it is, for example "My Documents" or on a storage card.

Right-click on the MP3 music file.

Click the "Set as Ringtone" option, the song will now be your ringtone.

There are also programs available to create ringtones

AT&T customers can create their own ringtones using an application downloaded to their cell phone. Make-Ur-Tones is available will require a monthly subscription of $6.99 for three ringtones, with additional ringtones costing $2.99 each.

From Wikipedia: A ring tone maker allows a user to take a song from his/her music collection, pick the part that he/she likes and send the file to his/her mobile phone. Files can be sent to the mobile phone by direct connection (e.g., USB cable), Bluetooth, text messaging, or e-mail, however, most ring tone makers have adopted a "one size fits all" strategy of downloading through the Internet; while appealing to the lowest common denominator, this method usually results in charges to the user for Internet time used on his/her mobile phones.

Be aware of deceptive ads offering ringtones for free - the ads in question offers one free ring tone to cell phone customers who respond to ads via text message, but fail to inform users that they would be subscribed to a monthly service

It depends on the model handset that you have. If your phone is MP3 capable, you should be able to either bluetooth, infrared, or SMS the MP3 over. Other handsets require software and data cable in order to transfer files. Make sure that you can set MP3's as ringtones too. Some models, like the Sony Ericsson K700i will let you have MP3's on the phone to play, but you are unable to set them as ringtones.
