that setting is in the ringer profile section... you have to set it for each profile ....

Go to
SETTINGS
AUDIO
(ringer profile) DETAIL [change]
VOICEMAIL [change] select the sound/ringer

You must do this for EACH profile setting if you use a different profile

You can set the length of your incoming ring to in the Call forwarding portion of the phone. Usually, it is set to 25 seconds. It can go as high as 30 seconds. To set the ringer to be longer or shorter, it goes by 5,10,15,... set of 5 increments. up to 30.
I would also recommend to use a factory set ringtone, set the profile to LOUD or OUTDOORS. With vibrate option on. Some downloaded ringtones don't play as loud.

Here is how to set your default ringtone:
Main Menu Settings Audio __ Detail (2nd line .. if style:loud then line 2 will say Loud:Detail .. if style:soft then line 2 will say Soft:Detail) Now you'll see
Ring Volume: Calls: IM:  Messaging: Voicemail: Calendar Alarm: Data Calls: File Transfer: Ringer IDs Key Volume: Reminders:
Click on Calls  Click on Music
Now you can set the default ringtone.
To set a specific ringtone for each person in your address book:
Main Menu Address Book Click Options Click Edit Contact Scroll down to Ringer ID Music
Now you can set ringer ID for that contact.

most phones i have seen have the individual ringtone set in the contact entry itself, you did not specify your phone type so i cannot be more specific

Go into ring styles, and see if you can't select the ringer from there.

settings>ring styles> detail > calls, and hit change/select

hi, before applying tone, play it & listen, if it plays sound. Resent ur mobiles master setting & apply now. bye

If this doesnt work then your phone must be possesed.. 
1. Go to your phone book.  Choose a contact.
2. Go to options. Then Edit Contact.
3. Now scroll down all the way to Ringer ID:__ and hit select it.
4. You should see a list of songs  and sounds like silent, Vibe Dot.. etc
5. Scroll down until you want the ringer for that contact.
6. Once you found the ringtone hit select it.  You should now have the ringtone for that contact.  NOW hit "DONE" or it will not work!  If you dont hit done it will use the DEFAULT ringtone provided by the phone.  Also, if you have a memory card in your KRZR k1 and all your songs are on the memory card you wont be able to use it, move them to your phone memory so you can choose it from the list.  mobiles24.com also can give you free ringtones too.. check it out.

The formatt of the ringtone you have recieved might not compatible, if it is polyphonic try to download midi format.

TXgrl, To change your ringtone, try the following: 1. Press Menu 2. Goto and select settings 3. Goto and select ring styles 4. Goto and select style detail From there you should be able to find the ringtone option and you would select that to see other ringtones to select from. Also, your phone does have capabilities of having individual ringtones for different callers, but the contact has to be saved to the phone and not the sim. To change the contact from sim to phone, try this: 1. Goto Menu 2. Goto and select Phonebook 3. Goto the contact you want to save to the phone and press menu 4. Goto and select edit 5. In edit, there should be a option saying, "Stored", if it's saved to the sim, it will say sim, select edit or press left/right and it will change it from sim to phone. 6. When saved to phone, some options should appear. One of them is ringer id. 7. Select edit on ringer id and that's where you'd select the ringtone to use for that contact. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Let me know how it works out. thanks. John
