Hi unknonazn1989,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below should help you understand how Ringtones work on your iPhone:
Using the iTunes Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1491
Tones
You cannot purchase ringtones and alert tones from your computer, but you can purchase them using your iOS device with iOS 5 or later.
To locate tones in iTunes on an iOS device:
- Tap the iTunes app.
- Tap Tones. If Tones is not visible, tap More > Tones.
- Browse for tones. Once you purchase a tone, a dialog is displayed. The dialog gives you an option to set your new tone as your default tone or assign it to a Contact. If you don't want to do anything with the tone just yet, simply tap Done.
- On an iPod touch or iPhone, you can find tones in Settings > Sounds.
The iPhone User Guide explains how to assign ringtones to your contacts on page 49 and 139:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Ringtones, Ring/Silent switch, and vibrate - pg 49
Assign a different ringtone for a contact: In Contacts, choose a contact, tap edit, then tap Ringtone and choose a ringtone.
Sounds - pg 139
You can set iPhone to play a sound whenever you get a new message, email, call, Tweet, Facebook post, voicemail, or reminder. You can also set sounds for appointments, sending an email, pressing keys, and locking iPhone.
Change sound settings: Go to Settings > Sounds.
Set the ringtone. To set a ringtone for a person, go to their card in Contacts.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
