Hi, i just got myself one of these phones recently and i'm still getting used to hit
Here is how you change your SMS ringtone

Go to PROFILES
You will then see a list starting with Blackberry Messenger Alert and Blackberry Messenger New Message etc etc
Scroll down to SMS
Press enter(touchpad)
Then you will see all the options you can change
Scroll down to the Ring Tone and highlight the name of the tone
Press enter
Now you can select from any tone that you have put on the phone or any pre-loaded tone
If you want a pre-loaded tone they are all on this page
If you want one of your own loaded tone select browse
You will then have a choice of two...select Media cards where your own ringtones should be
Press touchpad and you can select any tone from there
Once selected it will bring you back to another screen which you then need to press the back button(right of the touchpad)
Then all you have to do is SAVE

Good luck

Hi, How do I change the SMS alert to a tone on the Blacberry 8520? Thanks, Elaine

Hi there

Turn on your BlackBerry. Press the "Menu" key to go to the applications page, and scroll down to find the "Profiles" icon. Click the icon to enter the "Profiles" options menu.

Scroll down and click "Advanced."

Highlight the active profile and press the "Menu" key. Click "Edit."

Click "SMS Text." Change the field next to "Ring Tone" to your desired text tone. You can also change the volume and vibration option of the text message alerts from this screen. Press the "Menu" key when you are satisfied with your changes. Click "Save."

How do i change my sms text message ringtone on my blackberry pearl flip?

You need a notification profile.

1. Go to Profiles > Advanced.
2. Highlight the active profile (typically called Normal), press the Menu key, then choose Edit.
3. Scroll down to SMS Text and press the trackball.

You can then change the tone there. Now this tone or sound will be the same thing you hear when you get a voice message. The Voice Message sound is always the same as the SMS Text sound.
