    Question Cell phone question

    I have Apple Iphone 11. When I get a text I also get tone (Boing) on my phone to let me know I have received a text. I have 1 contact in my phone that when he text me I receive no tone. I got him to text another phone and they received a tone from his phone. Any ideas why this 1 contact does not generate a tone for a text on my phone? Thanks

    You can set up what you get as an "alert" from individual contacts. Go into your contacts, find the name of the person you want to manipulate. Click on their name and you should see their name and either their contact pic or their initials on the top half of your screen. Up in the top right corner, click "Edit". Scroll down and you should see "Ringtone" and "Text Tone" with an arrow pointing to the left. Click that arrow and you can change what happens when that person calls or texts you.

    I did this and all looks correct! I have tried deleting all of his info from my contacts and have reentered him as if new contact. Now I am trying to find him to try it! LOL
    Did not work!
