How to Make a QCP Ringtone
A ringtone (or ring tone) is an audible file that plays a sound on a cell phone for incoming calls or text messages. Most phones with firmware dating from mid-2005 until the present utilize "realtones" as ringtones and support audio formats such as MP3. However, for phones with older firmware, the QCP ringtone file type must be utilized. A program created by Qualcomm, Pure Voice Converter, will quickly and easily convert an audio file type to a QCP ringtone with just one drag and drop (See Resources).
