How to Give Different Contacts Their Own Ringtones for the iPhone 4

The iPhone 4 will hold as many contacts as your available memory allows for.

The iPhone 4 comes standard with a variety of ringtones that will alert you to incoming calls. If you are unhappy with the selection of ringtones offered by Apple, it is also possible to download new tones from the device's iTunes application, for a fee. Assigning a unique ringtone for each of your contacts, or at least the ones who call you the most, makes it easy to identify a caller before you even look at your iPhone.

Instructions

1. Tap the "Contacts" icon on your iPhone's Home screen.

2. Tap on the name of a contact for whom you want to set an individual ringtone.

3. Tap the blue "Edit" button in the top right corner of the contact's profile.

4. Tap the "Ringtone" line. Select a new ringtone for your contact from the list that appears. You may choose from both ringtones you've purchased in iTunes and default iPhone ringtones.

5. Tap the blue "Save" icon to confirm the new ringtone.
