Hey I tried what you did and it did the same thing - if only we could find out what file format or sampling rate they are using... that seems to be the issue. Maybe I will just keep playing around with different formats and sample rates until I get it... I will let you know then :)

I believe the underlying softphone is from SJPhone. The user guide is here:

It might give you some info.

It may be as simple as file size, too. On other applications I have experienced the need for the replacement file to be the same size, or smaller than, the original. Sometimes the application reserves a specific amount of memory and if you exceed that it cannot read the resulting file.

According to the manual for SJPhone...

You may use an incoming call sound of your own choice if you rename the sound file into ring.wav and place it in the SJphone™ folder, default is …\Program Files\SJphone 1.65.
You may also use another sound file named beep.wav as a second incoming call notification (it will be played if you have an active session). Place it in the same folder.
Those files should be in the PCM 8/16 kHz, 16 bit, mono format.


I tried it, it accepted my custom .wav file but then all I got was silence when it was getting an incoming call... :?

Note that their is no SJPhone folder - I went into the OPTIONS menu and the option for custom ringtone was there. Wierd how it shows up all these hidden options when you remove the skin files... :?:
