Assigning Custom Ringtones to Contacts
Sometimes, it is both fun and useful to give a unique ringtone to a certain contacts in
your address book. This way, you know who is calling without looking at your phone.
You can use ringtones that are already on your DROID, or you can use one of the
following options to get new ringtones:
Purchase ringtones using the Amazon MP3 or DROID Market apps
on your DROID.
Create or download ringtones to your computer, and then copy them
to your DROID.
Use your own songs synced to your DROID as ringtones.
For example, one of the authors (Gary) sets the ringtone for his son Daniel to the ring
tone of Elton John’s “Daniel.” You need to edit a person’s information in
Contacts to
change his ringtone. Follow these steps to do so:
1.
Tap the Contacts icon.

Gary Mazo
