My 13 year old son purchased a ring tone, which is now shown as a song on his song list. He wants to set this song as his default ring tone. We kow how to change ringtones, but the song does not appear in the ringtone list. How can we either get this song into the list of ring tones or set the song as the default ringtone?
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
You choose the default ringtone on the iPhone in Settings>Ringtone. If you don't see the ringtone he purchased there it may be a song rather than a ringtone (especially if it appears on the songs list in the Music app). He can still create a ringtone from this song using iTunes, then sync it to his phone and set it as his default ringtone.

My son is at boarding school and does not have access to iTunes via a PC. I agree that it has downloaded the ringtone as a song, but how does he therefore turn this to a ring tone so that it is listed in the Ringtone List using only his iPhone?
Surely iPhone doesn't need an app to transfer music on the handset into a ringtone? That is something I can do very easily on my Blackberry in a number of ways. Surely Apple wouldn't have made it that difficult and so unintuative?
