Assigning different ringtones to contacts does not work in IOS6.

I believe this is a SW bug in the iPhone5 or IOS6.


I created a ringtone for my daughter and went through all of the correct steps to get it into iTunes and then onto the phone.

From contacts, I select her contact, edit, then I select the ringtone. It seems to take and shows the new name for the ringtone.


When she calls, however, it plays whatever the main rintone is set at (whether it is customer or standard).

My brother tried it on his i5 and the same thing happened.


Anyone see this?

Like GayleA,


I have properly assigned individual ringtones to contacts. When I go to contacts, it shows the ringtone. I have restarted, double button reboot, synced, deleted ringtones, synced using selected ringtones and rebooted and double button booted after each change. With my Iphone 4s OS 6, nothing works. I will head for the genius bar when I can, unless a genius reads this and tells me what else to do. Thx.

Well not sure about anyone else but finally spoke with "support" today.

First call I made I was told if I paid $79.00 I would receive assistance for a year.

They could fix my problem through my pc.

Well not paying.


Phone 1-800-APPLE and was told that because didn't pay for call display through

my provider it isn't going to work for me.


Seems they don't advise you of that when you are making a decision on buying a phone.

They at least could have put a *note saying function only works under specific conditions.

I would have checked that out first thing.

Lesson learned I guess. Now my provider supplies that option free for new plans but won't

apply it to mine. So much for customer service. This all within a couple of months.


Now if anyone has any information that would change what I was told please let me know.


Gayle
