Hello,

I can't seem for the life of me find a way to change my text sound on my new Blackberry. Can anybody help me?!?!?! Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about the notification sound when a SMS comes in? You have to go to your profiles and scroll all the way down to "Advanced..." Then highlight the profile you want to change and press the menu button and go to edit. Then change whatever you need to there.

Profiles>advanced (at the bottom)>SMS>notification>choose what you want as your sound.

Simple as that.

I was just searching the web for an answer to this very question. I just picked up an 8330 two days ago, and this one is still stumping me.

I tried mirco T86's suggestion, but could not find any SMS properties in Profiles>Advanced, only call properties.

Then I attempted Somoa Joe's instructions:

"Profiles>advanced (at the bottom)>SMS>notification>choose what you want as your sound."

Still no luck. After "advanced", I found no option for "SMS".
Am I an idiot? This should be fairly easy, I think!?!

Signed,
Bumbling noob.

After that click the profile you are using (normal or whatever) and SMS and MMS are near the bottom of that list.

Thanks for the tip guys, hadn't discovered it yet.

I think you're all correct, I'm just so new to this device that a few [obvious] missed steps in the translation left me lost beyond belief. Fortunately, I woke up this morning with a clearer mind, so I tried again, and was able to figure it out. I'm assuming my cerebral flatulance is uncommon. But in the off chance that anyone else, as technologically challenged as me, stumbles over here looking for an answer to this, I've made a quick (very amateur) video.

This is a cool forum, BTW. Thanks for all the help.

You're definitely not alone. A lot of people new to BB's seem to have trouble getting the hang of the profiles. However, the profiles and profile exceptions are both very useful.
