Customize notifications for a contact
Notifications that you customize for contacts override the notification settings for profiles and apps. For example, if sound
is turned on for phone notifications for a contact but the sound is turned off for the phone, the phone still rings when the
contact calls you.

Customize notifications for an app
When you set a customized notification for an app, you can use that customized notification as the default setting for that
app in all profiles. Customized app notifications override the notifications in profiles, but don't override the customized
notifications for contacts.

profile overrides all other settings and the BlackBerry device remains quiet, even if you set customized
