About custom ring tones

You can assign a custom ring tone to a contact without changing other notifications.

Custom ring tone options appear with your contacts and your notification profiles. When you assign a custom ring tone to a contact, a new profile exception appears with your notification profiles as "Calls From <contact>". Notification profile exceptions are shared between your contacts and your notification profiles and changes that you make in one application are made in the other application.

Your BlackBerry® device bases the volume for custom ring tones on the volume that you set in the active notification profile.

Assign ring tones and alerts to a contact

You can receive different ring tones and alerts for incoming messages and calls from specific contacts or groups of contacts. When you receive a call or message from the contact, your device uses the assigned ring tone or alert, even if you switch your sound profile to Silent or Vibrate Only. If you do not want to be notified with the assigned ring tone or alert, you can set your sound profile to All Alerts Off.
