Individual ringtones for duplicate in Contacts entries?

I've set up three different people (my wife, daughter a me) in the Contacts application to have the same phone # and ringtone (which is different from installing default ringtone in the settings).

When my wife or daughter calling me from the phone at home, I think that the iPhone would ring using the ringtone I set up for them.

However, the rings of the iPhone using the default ringtone instead.

No idea why and how get the iPhone sounds using the ringtone I have install for these contacts?

Thank you

OK, here is the solution to the problem.

I have the same phone number in my contact, my wife contact card card and the contact card for my daughter (which houses our phone number).

The minute I removed the entry for this phone # in my card, my iPhone has produced the correct ring when called from this #.

Perhaps, in the spirit of Apple, whenever someone calls my house phone number, his will be either my wife or my daughter, not me (there is no option in my card, as the owner of the iPhone, to set the ringtone as there are in other contacts).

  • Ringtone for Contacts blackBerry Smartphones

    Recently got my Storm a couple of weeks. So I apologize if this is a question that has been answered, or simply a newbie question. In any case, it is possible to assign a different ringtone to each contact? Thanks in advance for any response.

    Oh Wow! I think I can really help with this one! (LOL Fellow newbie here!)

    Here is how to assign a ringtone for each contact:

    Click on the contacts icon and open it. Then, find the contact you are looking for and click on it. When it is open, click on the BB (the one with the points!) and find where it says edit. A click on it.

    If you scroll along the contact information, you will see where it says "your/custom alerts.

    There is one for the phone and the other for messages.

    If you click on each one, it will come a menu allowing you to choose a ring for each type. Then click on the back button (curved arrow), press on save and you should be good to go.

    In the sound profiles, make sure that you are ready to receive the alert tones.

    Oh boy, I hope this helps and makes some sense. If this is not the case, let me know where you are stuck, or better yet, maybe someone else can simplify!

    Hope that this will at least help you get started!

    Good luck!!

  • Mail creates a new contact for already existing contact card

    I recently find cards duplicate in my contact list that were apparently automatically created sort of correspondence. If I e-mail to Joe Blow, whose address is [email protected] in my Contacts, the e-mail address will be displayed without the name attached to it. The courier will say "to: [email protected]"instead of "Joe Blow.". " I'm in my contacts and see the two cards, one with the name and address and whatever other information that I have to contact and a second map which is completely empty except for the e-mail address.

    I had two recent changes. I upgraded from Yosemite El Capitan and my employer like us all on a Microsoft Exchange Server. As far as I know, the problem above isn't to Exchange. I see them duplicate that in my Mac app Contacts contacts, not in the list of Contacts online for the Exchange.

    If anyone knows what is happening and how I can stop the Contacts for the creation of new maps for already existing contacts, I'll be very grateful to hear from you.

    Please open Contacts preferences window and select the general tab, uncheck the box marked

    Thank you.

    It is very easy to set custom ringtones for each contact you want... also add any sound as a ringtone.

    Install a file manager (I use ARE), copy any wav, ogg, mp3 audio file etc to/0/ringtones
    These will be immediately available.

    in your contacts list to change any contact (pencil top right corner), then hit up 3 points to the right and "set the tone".

  • BlackBerry Z10 assign a ringtone downloaded to a contact

    Hi all.

    using dropbox, I was able to import ringtones to my z 10. I am able to use by browsing through files, but only for all contacts as a group.  When I try to assign a downloaded ringtone to a specific contact I'm unable to access my new downloaded files. In the drop-down list there is no link to other music files.

    Should I save to a different folder? If Yes, where and how? I need different ringtones for different contacts, but the phone does not come with enough acceptable options. Help, please.

    Thank you

    Download from your drop box, to any folder on your device or sd card, you can use the file manager to move the folder to a location had hoped.  Contacts select your contact, change, select phone rign tone, it will pull down all your sound files you z10, including music files.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones individual ringtones

    Hello, I noticed that ringtones seem to be a subject of regular discussion and my question may have developed before but I thought I'm new to this, I would ask anyway.

    I put a (music) ringtone to a specific contact, but I found that 'all' incoming calls were affected.

    I created a different contact with a different ringtone (music) and this new ringtone eventually became the ringing tone for incoming calls... I checked the first contact that I put a ringtone for and it still shows the old name of the song that I had put to him, but as noted, has played a different song.

    You can set different ringtones for a variety of different contacts and if so, how are you?

    Thank you

    When you create a new exception, you choose to:
    It's a contact that you choose.

    for any phone number of this contact, it should behave the same.

    She is not, maybe it's because the person calling you, using his phone number of non-professionals, has set up his mobile phone to hide the phone number.

    Access your Contacts, scroll to the one you want, click Menu BB button, Edit, highlight the contact info here made place defiler scroll to Custom Ring Tones/alerts section, highlight the phone option, click the Trackpad when the next screen comes up the first box at the top is where you choose the ringtone. Click on the Trackpad and all your ringtones should mount automatically, if you want one that is not on the list scroll all alerts, all voice Notes or all music and choose what file you want to use. The same procedure applies to the evolution of the beeps for messages. Your vibration, volume, etc. will be all settled on active by default, if you want volume and the different vibration for a specific contact you can also change these options at this time.
