Ringer and Notification Sounds
Understanding the sounds that come from your phone will help you determine if
you’re receiving a call or simply getting a notification that you just received a text
message, email or voicemail.
Notification sounds are typically shorter and are only played once per message
received.
Ringer sounds, on the other hand, are typically longer and will loop until the caller
hangs up, the call is directed to your voicemail or the call is answered, similar to a
landline phone.
For more information on how to customize your sounds, see “Changing the Sounds”
on page 110.
