Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.

In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.

Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.

Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.

Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)

On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r

Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.

Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.


If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.

Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.

Hope this helps.
