    Does anyone know if there is a way to personalize the ringtone from a specific sender in SMS texts that same way we can with Phone call notifications?

    yup... go into sounds and scroll towards the bottom and select custom alerts and add names. You can also do this inside of contacts. Edit the contacts and choose sms ringers for them.

    Go to SMS/MMS folder > BB Key > Message Alerts & then click on whatever alerts you want to change (email, SMS, MMS, etc)

    I don't believe you can assign a different tone to individuals for sms. You can use a tone of your choosing but it will apply to all incoming sms.

    Edit: Hmmm, is the Storm so different that it allows this personalization?

    Thats what it looks like to me too. You can do it for phone calls but I get SMS Texts when any of my company trucks cross gps fence lines - I keep looking at my Storm when I would just as soon ignor these messages during the day and pay major attention to them after hours. All the texts come from the same sender.

    Go into your contacts. Select the contact who the SMS's come from. Blackberry Button>Edit. Scroll to Custom Ring Tones/Alerts. Choose Messages. From here, you can select your tones and volume settings.

    All of my family members have different ring tones for SMS. My old 8130 Pearl could not do this. Man I love my Storm.

    How did you do it?
    Do you have a diffrent tone on the SMS than a Phone Call?

    This is fairly simple to do, goto your sound profiles and scroll to "Set Contact Alerts"

    From there select the contact you want to apply the changes too

    Then you csn set custom rings and dings for that person or group of ppl

    Ah, Thanks for clearing that up Niubeav! That is a great added feature, wish the curve could do that.
