Answer Tones for iPhone 3g
Technically, no. There are ways around it, but basically it boils down to the iPhone doesn't use ATT's Media Net service - this is why you can't purchase ringtones or games from ATT with the iPhone. To purchase or manage answer tones, you have to use your Media Net login information, so if your phone doesn't support media net, your SOL.
The way around it is to activate another device, such as a RAZR or something to your account, then purchase your answer tones, set them up, etc. Then when you switch back to your iPhone, they will still be there, but you won't be able to manage them unless you switch out phones again. Pain in the ass, and not really worth it if you ask me..... ☹️

actually the answer you got is a correct answer any phone from att can get answer tones. because they are from the network and have nothing to do with your phone. however since you cant sign into media net on your iphone you have to do it on your computer. to sign in go to this site.

if this site does not work then go to wireless.att.com and in the search bar type in media net then click on the link

it's a known issue that affects iPhone users - AT&T media net log in information does not work for a lot of iPhone users the system recognizes it's not a media net supported phone I am unable to log in either on my phone or through the AT&T websIte
...
ive done it for several customers and had no issues with it. i sometimes had to do the wireless.att.com/db reset and thats all i had to do
...
lol, you wanna try mine? j/k, I don't know why it works for some, and not others, no one can ever give me a straight answer other than its a known issue.... I've had my media net/db account reset, deleted, turned upside down and spit on, and nothing.... 😢
...
try going to this website if you already havent gone to it already.www.wireless.att.com/db and reset account. it that doesnt work then call cust serv. to get the feature readded or you can just have them transfer you to our tech support. and dont take no for an answer
...
Been there, done that. I actually have several friends who work in a backend tech group for ATT (they work escalated network tickets) - they are the ones who advised me it is a known issue affecting some iPhone customers.
...
If I can log in to media net should I be able to download answer tones and or ring tones?
...
yes it will send you a text with a link to download the ring tone. or if it is a answer tone you just manage it online
