I don't have a v180 so I can't help you specifically, but a few things
to look out for are most phones have a requirement for bitrate,
maximum size, and length. Perhaps the Emergency file is too short? Too
low or high a bitrate? too large?

Just some ideas...

I had to same problems, it was because I saved a wav file to an mp3
without the proper codec. Upload it to the group and I'll fix it for
you.

No, chances are the server won't accept it, or it won't make it to
most severs.
