Add a contact alert
You can create contact alerts that allow you to customize ring tones and alerts for calls and messages from specific contacts or groups of
contacts. When you receive a call or message from the contact, your BlackBerry® device uses the assigned ring tone or alert, even if you select
the Silent profile or Vibrate Only profile. If you do not want to be notified with the assigned ring tone or alert, you can select the All Alerts Off
profile.
