How can I set the "Chime" ringtone for calls on iPhone?

I used to have the ringtone “Chime” (not Chimes) for incoming calls. I inadvertently changed it awhile back and can't get it back. It is listed under text tones but not for incoming calls. Any way to get it back again?

Some time ago, Apple removed some tones for calls and some for text messages. The Chime tone you used for calls is no longer an available option, so you can't use it for phone calls. You can use it for text messages as you've noticed.


If you want a Chime ringtone for calls, which can't ever be removed, open the iTunes Store on your iPhone and search for a Chime Ringtone in the Tones store. It will cost about $1, but once purchased, you'll never lose it.
