Assigning a ringtone 2 a contact, text message sound is same

When I assign a ringtone to a contact that ringtone also plays when they send me a text message. Surely there is a way around this. As how do you differentiate between text then and phone call. Any other motorolas I had used do it, but can't seem to get it working on this. Love the phone apart from that.

No didn't work.

The information for text messages is not in the options when editing the persons contact info. When I edit the contact info, there is a long list of changes that can be made but nothing on the messages. I have the contacts changed to my phone too.

That's just the way it's designed. all all contacts from that number, voice or sms get the same alert.

You should be able to change the ring tone and text message alert when you are editing the person's contact info. If there is not option for that, then you may have your contacts being saved to your sim card. Change it to your phone, when you do that a lot more options appear when adding/editing contacts. Hope this helps!

My LG 220cm phone text message alert is stuck on message # 8 tone, which is a computer voice that says "message from" (contact name) no matter what I do to change it. Tried changing tone in contacts,...

I have assigned ringtones to certain people, but it just says "Judy calling" or who ever it is. Why won't the ringtone play?

I need to know how to delete ringtones and how to assign ringtones to contacts

to delete ringtones, open the file explorer application from progams. navigate to device\my documents\ my ringtones , select the ones you want and delete. nice and ease. set a new ringtone either in the sound and notifications section of settings, or on a file, tap and hold on the screen on a file you wish to have as a ringtone and select "set a ringtone". if you are looking for these as a message tone you need to convert the file to a .wav file and import this to the windows folder on the device then select in the sounds and notifications tab in settings.

assigning tones to contacts can only be done if your contacts are outlook contacts, not sim contacts. open and edit a contact, scroll down to ringtone, although again with these i belive the file must be a .wav file and be located in the windows directory.

Call ID must be activated in your phone. Your cell phone provider customer service must help you with that.

Assigning downloaded ringtones Razr V3a

Before you can assign a ringtone to a contact, you must first go to "settings" and then to "ring styles". Click on "Detail" and go down to "Ringer IDs". Make sure it says "On". After that, you should be able to assign a ringtone to a contact by editing the contact details. (Custom ringtones are at the bottom of the list instead of at the top.) Hope that helps.

Ringtones

I had the same problem... after much fiddling with it, found out that only contacts saved on SIM card could have ringtones assigned. Don't know why... but saving all contacts to SIM & then assigning ringtones worked for me.

Assigning ringtones to a profile

If you set the profile ring tone to OFF. Then select a contacts' number and assign it a Ring Tone. When that contact calls you the Ring Tone you assigned will ring.
If you select the same Ring Tone for all your contacts in a group they will all sound the same when they call.
Or select the same ring tone for a profile, but cancel the Tone you assigned to the contact(s).
