Re: Can i use a saved or created mp3 ringtone?


Seems you can import that saved or created .mp3 file into Garageband (for iOS) app, and then "share" it as a ringtone so it can be used on iPhone. If the ringtone is longer than 30 seconds, you can either shorten it to suit, or it will be shortened when exported as a ringtone.
