About ringtones, sounds and alerts

The profile that you select in the Sound and Alert Profiles application defines how your BlackBerry smartphone alerts you of phone calls, messages, reminders and browser content.

Your smartphone has a Normal profile and five other preloaded profiles: Loud, Medium, Vibrate Only, Silent and Phone Calls Only. By default, some of the settings in the preloaded profiles are based on the settings in the Normal profile. For example, when you change the ringtone in the Normal profile, the ringtone in the Loud profile, Medium profile and Phone Calls Only profile is automatically updated. If you don't want specific settings for a preloaded profile to update automatically when you change the corresponding setting in the Normal profile, you can manually change the settings in that preloaded profile.

Change your ringtone, notifiers, reminders or alerts

In any sound profile, you can change your ringtone or notifier tone to an audio file that's stored in your BlackBerry smartphone's built-in media storage or media card. You can also change the options for volume, notifications during calls, LED and vibration in all of the profiles. The All Alerts Off profile can't be changed.
