How to Set Different Ringtones On Your Blackberry

Blackberry Phone

Because Blackberry phones can do so much, sometimes simple things, like setting ringtones, can seem complicated. Such a task is really easy, however, and this article will show you exactly how it's done.

Things You'll Need

• Blackberry Phone (I'm using an 8330 Curve for this article)

Instructions

1. Press your menu key (the one with the little dots on it).

2. Highlight and select the Profiles icon (the one that looks like a speaker).

3. Scroll down to and select the Advanced option.

4. Select the option that you'd like to start with (i.e. loud, vibrate, quiet, etc.).

5. From where you are, you should see Browser, Calendar, Level 1 Messages, etc. Click on the option you'd like to set a ringer for.

6. From here, you can select the notifications you'd like to receive for when your phone is in and out of the holster. You can also select the volume, number of times it should beep (or ring) and whether or not you'd like the LED to flash. Be sure to save your selection before exiting this screen!

7. Go back to steps 3 or 4 and repeat this process for each alert you'd like to receive. For instance, you can receive one ring tone or alert for SMS (text) messages, a different one for incoming calls, another for Facebook messages, another for email messages (and a different sound for every email account set on your phone), etc.

Tips & Warnings

• It may seem like a pain to do this for all of your message types the first time that you set it up, but really you only need to do it once and it's a convenience to have all of your tones customized and separated.
