iPhone Ringtones Features

As with most phones there are a variety of ring tones that can be selected and played when incoming calls are received on the iPhone. In addition, certain tunes can specifically be associated with specific people in the iPhone address book. When these individuals call that particular tune is played and the iPhone owner is alerted as to who is calling without even looking at the caller ID. This corresponding iPhone feature is activated by choosing settings found on the home screen and selecting sounds and then ringtone. At this point simply choose the ringtone and assign that ringtone to a specific contact.

However, this particular feature of assigning ringtones is common to most phones. The uniqueness of the iPhone in regards to ringtones is that there is a dedicated switch on the side of the iPhone. This particular switch allows the user of the phone to activate or deactivate the ringing of the phone in a quick fashion.

Also the iPhone allows the user to alternate between the ring and silent mode of the phone. This iPhone ringtone feature can be activated by toggling the switch in the appropriate direction. The switch is again located on the side of the phone.
