I'm not sure if changing the text message alert tone is possible, but either way you will get a lot more replies to your post over on the iPhone Modifications forum.

Good luck!!

actually you can change the text message sound. settings>sounds>new text message> then pick. i know you can add sounds if you openssh and locate the folder but i havent done that also you can download sounds from installer and use them in there im pretty sure. if not i am sorry i have mistaken you.

I think he meant he wanted to add a tone that wasn't one of the stock selections.

There is a way to change the tone. However, you must replace the tone you want with the one you don't use in iphone.

First you create a tone in .caf (I think that is what it was) format thru iTune, then you connect to your phone and go to system sound folder then you will see 6 SMS.....caf file. Then rename the file that you create to the one you are going to delete/move, then overwrite that file by copy/moving the file.

Then you can choose that sound in setting.
That is how I do it. Hope this helps.

Do I have to be jailbroken to do this?

I think so. Message alerts don't show up in iTunes like ringtones.

You can use customize as well they have a ton of sounds ready to modify the text tone.
