New .m4r Tone Created in ITunes

So I was able to figure out how to create a .m4r tone and get it added to my iPhone where it automatically created a Tone folder. But in my settings on my iPhone, the new tone only appears in my Ringtone choices. It does not show as an option under the Text Tone. How can I get it to show as a Text Tone option?

Is the tone 30 seconds or less?

Nope, so apparently they weren’t. It originally said they were 30 secs when I looked in one place but in another they were showing longer. Because I recorded another that was 26 seconds and it showed up under text tones. Thanks!

Perfect, enjoy your text tone.

Sorry I couldn't find the link that showed how to create a ringtone using itunes.
