Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu. 2. Select Messaging ( ). 3. Select Settings ( ). 4. Select Message Alerts ( ). 5. Select Ringer Type ( ). 6. Select Voicemail ( ), Text Message ( ), or Picture Mail ( ). 7. Select Single Tones, Ring Tones, Melodies, or Downloaded and press the navigation key down. 8.
