Oddball Profile question
- O.K. - Due to the fact that at night when I'm sleeping - i really don't care to hear all the e-mail, SMS/MMS alerts, and etc other than the possible actual phone call. So I set my sound profile to the standard "Phonecalls Only" setting. - Simple.
Except: for 2 weeks every 3 months I rotate to the On-Call position for work. We have a system status monitor that sends out SMS notices if something fails.
I would absolutly LOVE to know how I can create a profile whereby I will get ONLY this 1 SMS contact & phone calls. No other SMS or e-mail notices.
If anyone has any idea how I can go about doing this - PLEASE help a brother out ??

Then on the contact that you are wanting to hear, setup a custom ring. Leave the phone ring alone. Change the message to the volume you want. The key is to not leave it on "active profile" or it will not make a sound. The volume setting overrides the sound profile. Like I said, I believe it will work, but I have never tried it.02-09-09 06:35 PMLike 0
- Yep. Set up a custom profile and set everything to silent you want to ignore. Then add an exception for a specific contact to play a ring.I do this as I have my skytel forward to my phone then have a contact entry for skytel that plays an alert. Not sure what your setup is but this should point you in the right direction.

I was on the right track - I had already set the one contact to the desired sound / volume instead of "Active Profile", but at night I was still using the "Phone Calls only" profile so I wasn't getting any SMS notices.
I have created a custom profile called "On Call" and left phone calls normal and everything else is set to silent/off. I will test this today @ work and see how it does.
Thanks again for the help.02-10-09 06:54 AMLike 0
