This tutorial created for beginners, so you may already knew it. If you get lot of call daily and want to identify those special persons calls then this tutorial definitely help you.

Assigning Custom Ringtones  To Phone Numbers

After new ringtones have been  installed, you can assign different ringtones to numbers in your address  book. That way when the phone rings, you know exactly who it is, or  to what group they belong, without having to check. If you have a lot  of contacts, it may be easier to organize them into groups such as “family”  and “clients” and give the entire group the same tone than  to try and assign each one a unique ringtone.

To assign a ringtone to a number,  first, open your address book and locate the phone number that you want  to assign a custom ring.  Press menu, and then edit. Select “Add  Custom Ringtone” and choose the ringtone you want from the list.  After custom ringtones are assigned to the numbers in the address book,  you will be able to identify callers without looking at the screen,  a definite advantage when you’re trying to drive, in a meeting, or trying  to avoid someone. Ringtones can also be assigned to other phone sounds,  like email alerts and alarms.

Ringback Tones

Ringback tones are a different  personalization service, replacing the standard ringing sound for your  callers to hear while they wait for you to answer. You may set up to  25 different ringbacks, and can even use the Time Of Day function to  play different ringtones at different times. Ringbacks go by different  names depending on your carrier. They’re known as ringback tones for  Verizon and Altell, Answer Tones for AT&T, Call Tones for Sprint,  and CallerTunes for T-Mobile and Vodafone. You’ll have to visit each  carrier’s individual ringback tone store to get the tones and make  sure you’ve signed up for this service with your carrier first.
