It's got to be a .wav file...paste it in the windows folder on your device and it'll show up in the list of options for message tones...

Okay, I just tried this and it didn't work. It still showed up under only the incoming call options...

You can also use a program like PockeMax PhoneAlarm. That will allow you to use almost any type of sound file.
I use Nero Wave Editor to convert sound files to WAV/MP3/WMA.
WMP has a converter that will change most sound files to WMAs so you can use them as ringtones.

After a soft reset, go to Settings;Personal; Sounds & Notifications->Notifications. Drop down:Messaging: New text message. Check "Play sound" box and in the newly enabled drop down list your WAV file that was put in your PPCs Windows folder should appear.
