How to Change the Ringtone on a Samsung Intercept

by Melissa King

Your Samsung Intercept phone comes with several ringtones featuring a variety of music styles, including the rock, pop and techno genres. If you have a microSD card installed, you can customize the phone with your own ringtones, such as song clips from your favorite artist. The Intercept allows you to set a general ringtone that plays for all callers by default. You can also assign different ringtones to each of your contacts for easier identification.

Change Default Ringtone

Step 1

Turn on the Samsung Intercept and press "Home."

Step 2

Tap "Menu," then select "Sounds & display" and "Phone ringtone."

Step 3

Select a ringtone from the list, then tap "OK" to set it as your default ringtone.

Change Ringtone for Contacts

Step 1

Power on the Samsung Intercept and tap the "Home" button, then touch "Contacts" to go to the overview screen.

Step 2

Tap "Menu," then select "Edit." Scroll down and tap the arrow icon next to the Ringtone field.

Step 3

Touch "Default" to apply the default ringtone to the contact. Touch "Phone ringtone" to choose a ringtone available on your phone. Tap "Sound" to select a ringtone on your microSD card.

Step 4

Touch "OK" to apply and save the change.

Tip

  • You can also change the ringtone that plays when you receive a notification, such as a new text message or voicemail message. Go to the Sounds & Display screen and tap "Notification ringtone," then select a ringtone and tap "OK."
  • If you want the Intercept to vibrate instead of play a ringtone, go to the Sounds & Display screen and tap "Phone vibrate." Alternatively, hold down the volume button to enable vibration.
