    Most likely the Branded/Locked phone itself. You can Debrand/Unlock the phone yourself or get someone else to.

    Debrand the phone and you should be able to use any MP3 as a ringtone. I debranded my SE w300i and my SE w580i. Both had the MP3 ringtone restriction and now both are able to use regular MP3s as ringtones. My Nokia N95-4 had a similar issue and debranding it also fixed this issue for me.

    Most carriers will restrict the use of MP3 as ringtones since they want you to purchase ringtones from them.
