Tips & Warnings
Ringtones should be no longer than 25 seconds to save space in the RAZR's memory. Sprint cell phones only allow the playback of customized ringtone files formatted in MP4. You will need to convert the file before uploading it to your Sprint RAZR or the file will not playback properly.
Allow 30 minutes to an hour between ringtone transfers. You do not want to overload your RAZR's server. Do not alter any other modules within the program once you have edited the ringtone to your liking. All of the other modules will distort the sound of the final product.
