to change your skype default ringtone, go to

var/mobile/Applications
then look for the folder that has skype, go into the skype.app folder in there and just drag a .wav file nameed "call_ringin.wav"
respring and enjoy

Is it possible to access that folder without jailbreaking?

btw I'm so disappointed in the skype app... customing the ringtone is a bit trivial of an issue but is just one of many glaring examples of poor development by them.

so how does this happen? ive got everything working on skype so that i can use it in the hospital where i work which gets no ATT signal and yet the only way i know its ringing is with dhort busts of vibrate...there is no ringtone even though the files exist in the folder referenced above. is there anyway that you know of to link the ring to another ringtone or to fix the cuurent situation (id be happy to take the stock ringtone back, even though i didnt do anything to lose it)

Skype actually rings into headphones, you just can't hear it unless you are holding it by your ears. I do not know how to make it ring into speakers.

Well like above , just get yourself diskaid and go to your applications folder (I wrote this for 2.2.1) but theirs a file inside skype.app named call_ringing.wav , replace that file with a converted wav file of r desire and respring, should work fine

[linuxnoob]

does it have to be a wav file or can it be an m4r or mp3 file?

[z3r01]

And it does ring to speaker , just make sure it's not in silent becuase if ur phone is in silent it won't ring to speaker

It had to be wave because that's what the app looks for unless there's a plist to change
