How to Make Your Own Sprint Ringtone
Sometimes when we look to mobile service providers to purchase ringtones, we don't always find exactly what we're looking for. For this one particular reason, users opt to create their own customized ringtones. Making Sprint ringtones will give you the ability to put just about any song of your choice on your phone. While the procedure can be rather tricky for those less tech-savvy, it can still be accomplished with detailed instruction. You can make your own Sprint ringtones in approximately 10 to 15 minutes tops.

Tips & Warnings
This is the method used for the majority of ringtone creation sites online, but some site's instructions may be slightly different. You may be prompted to set indicate where you'd like to start the song by entering the minute and second, as opposed to using the marker on a waveform. Then you'll need to simply enter a number for how long you'd like the ringtone to be in seconds.
Keep all ringtones between 15 to 30 seconds. In most cases, mobile phones only ring for 30 seconds before going to voicemail. Therefore, any ringtones longer than this will not be able to playback throughout the duration of an incoming call. Long ringtones also take up more space in the phone's memory. So make sure you are aware of the length of your ringtone.
