Help with my 6101- assign a tone

I can't figure out how to assign different tones to different people's numbers like I have with my past 3 phones.

I have always had a separate tone for my sister's number so that I know it's her straight away.

Does anyone know how to do this on the 6101?

Hi vjackman1976,

unfortunately, this is not possible with the 6101.
As a workaround, you could assign the ringtone to a group which has only one contact.

Assigning an individual ringtone to each contact is possible with latest phones like 6280, 7370, ...

Thanks for that.

Vodafone enticed me to stay when I was thinking of leaving them (I was 6 months out of contract) by offering me the 6101, saying it was the latest flip phone that nokia had. I only wanted Nokia.

From what you say- they were making that up! I don't know much about what's new in phones so I just believed them. Now thinking of sending it back and asking for something better. I have 14 days to do that and I've only had it for 2 days so far.

Hi vjackman1976,

the 6101 is still an excellent phone. Keep it!
6280 and 7370 are not flip phones (but slider/swivel).

You could use following workaround:
In phonebook, create a group with only one member (your sister). Assign your sister's ringtone to this group.
