Can a ringtone be set so that I know a text message has come in and how would I do it? Can it be set to show on the screen that there is a text?

Yes, you may set a ringtone when you receive a text. Open the Messaging app and go to Settings, you'll have several options on message notifications including vibrate. There will also be a message icon in the status bar indicating you have a text message.

Because this isnt a prepaid SMART phone,the only thing we've been able to customize; in so far as tone; is my husbands ring tone,which he had to load from an on-line ring tone downloading site.Perhaps you could contact Samsung directly to discuss OTHER possibilities for this phone?I apologize that I couldnt be more help.

I have never sent a text message. However, the menu has an option for something called sms. Under that option is a selection for new message.

No, I don't think so; I didn't see a menu option for that. The system appears to be designed around the concept of a different ring tone for the various callers. I really like that because I always know if a family member is calling.

It comes with ringtones already on it, and it you get a data plan on it, I am sure you can download more ringtones. As far as custom ringtones, I am not sure. You can probably find that out on Google. Look up the phone Model and check the product description/specifications.Thank you for your inquiry...

I have a V-Tech phone, Model i6767 which in the set up allows for the answering machine to beep when a new message has been received but not accessed. It's a great phone. My only complaint is you can totally turn off the ringer and you can lower the sound on the answering machine to not hear an incoming message, but when someone leaves a message it BEEPS which wakes me up. Other than this, it's a great phone. WHY DID THEY DO THAT!!!!

I put in a MicroSD card with songs. When I go to a song and select option I can use one of the songs as a ringtone. Besides that if you go to your contacts you can edit them with custom ringtones.

Hi,I'm sorry I don't text.But, I went to the User's Manual and under Section 6:Messaging It reads thus:Viewing A Text Message from the Message Inbox1. From Idle mode, press Menu>Messaging>Message InboxSentbox1. From Idle mode, press Menu>Messaging>Sentbox.There is no mention of Message Threaded in the Manuel.I also call T-Mobile Customer Service and they said Message 'Threading in only on Smart Phones.Thank you, I Hope This Helps

It is my understanding that since you have to pay extra for voice mail from the phone company ...it is added toyour wire service coming in and will intercept your calls after so many rings.. then your phone will beep whenyou pick up the receiver to let you know you have a message(s). To be sure ..just call the phone company and ask them if having a plain touchtone phone is all you need for their voice mail system to work. Voice mail has been around longer than these newer fancy phones.

Yes. You hear text sound via device. Read back of message is optional. You turn on or off. Not able to reply via text.

The ringer on your phone will 'only' ring if your phone is plugged into the telephone port and then only after the code number is entered. If your phone or answering machine is plugged into the answering port, it will not ring no matter what.... you only know you have a message is when the answering machine message number lights up. I have found this product to be the best thing I ever bought for silence from telemarketers and robo calls. Have not had any since I put in on the line. Hope this helps

You cannot hear your message but you can hear the caller if the phone is set for call screening. Hope this helps.Amelia

Yes. You can make the ring tone from a "cell call" the same one you use on your cell so you can tell the difference and know the source of the call when your phone rings. Once you set up the bluetooth connection, anytime your cell phone is close enough, the landline will automatically pick up the call. Also, all the contacts from the cell were downloaded to the landline phone so it announces who is calling based on recognition of the source number.

Yes you can listen to music. As for texting, I don't believe so because you can't activate the phone's voice commands.

My cell device does not offer this as a feature so I can not say if you would hear the callers name. I do hear the phone rings and my specific ring announcements (you have a text, your mother is call, its the boss do not answer the phone). I suspect that hearing names would work.

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

Yes. You can hear calls. You can also hear the phone's turn-by-turn navigation and any other sounds such as notifications, etc. If you put the phone in Drive Mode (if you have that option), text messages will be read out loud, and you'll hear that through the speakers as well.
