Customizing Rings and Message Indicators

You can customize the way your phone indicates an incoming call or a new voice mail message for each of your lines. Customized ring sounds and other indicators can help you quickly differentiate between multiple lines. For example, you can choose a chirping sound to indicate an incoming call on Line 1 and a drumbeat to indicate an incoming call on Line 2.
