Utilize Profile Setting

Just imagine that after a long night of work and you want to stay in bed for a little bit later in the morning, but someone called you early in the morning but finally it is a wrong number call!!

What would you do? Turn off the phone? What if your secretary in the office is calling you and try to tell you that your BOSS is looking for you?

The function of Profile

You can find profile in most of the Nokia and Ercisson mobile phones. The function of Profile is for you to set a pre-defined condition for a select event. For example, you will not accept any call at night but urgent call from your clients only!

To setup/define your profile :

Nokia : Menu -> Profiles
Ericsson : Setting -> Profile -> Edit Profile

The most useful function in Profile is, you can select calls you like to accept. In most Nokia and Ericsson, you will have an option to accept call from selected calling group. "Accept Call" in Ericsson and "Incoming call alert" in Nokia. Only people in these selected caller groups will ring your phone! The rest of the caller not in these selected caller groups will have the following treatment:

Nokia : The phone will not cut the call but the phone will not ring! The call will keep on until timeout or the caller cancel the call!
Ericsson : The phone will cut the call and the user will hear a busy tone!

As long as I know, only Nokia 8210 onward and Ericsson T39 onward will have the function like "Accept call for select Caller Group" only. My Nokia 3310 does not have this function!

If you would like to creat a "Morning Profile" like what I do, follow the steps below:

1) Nokia 8310/8250/8210

• Go to "Profile" and select an unused profile
• Select "Personalise"
• Select "Ringing tone", pick a tone with lower sound. "Bee" is my choice in 8310!
• Select "Ringtone volume", pick a lower volume, Level 2 is enough for the morning!
• Turn off the "Vibrating alert" because you don't need it!
• Turn off "Keypad tones"!
• Turn off "Warning tones"!
• Select "Alter for" and pick the Caller Group you wolud like to receive their call early in the morning. You must have assigned the Caller Group for the people you like to receive their call!
• Rename this Profile as "Night" or "Morning" or anything you like!

2) Nokia 3310

• 3310 does not have "Alter for selected Caller Group" function like 8310 or 8250! So you have to something more!
• In 3310, you can assign Personal Ringtone for people in your Phonebook. Go to "Menu -> Phonebook -> Assign tone"
• Assign a lovely ringtone, for those important persons, like your girl friend, secretary, business partner, clients and etc.
• Send a ringtone with no sound (nothing) to your 3310 by using Logomanager or the like. You can find a sample here. Download No Sound Ringtone (right-click and select save as)
• Now, go to "Menu -> Profiles" and pick a unused profile and select "Personalise".
• In "Ringing tone", select the No Sound rigntone mentioned above.
• Select "Ringtone volume", pick a lower volume, Level 1 is enough for the morning!
• Turn off the "Vibrating alert" because you don't need it!
• Turn off "Keypad tones"!
• Turn off "Warning tones"!
• Rename this Profile as "Night" or "Morning" or anything you like!

3) Ericsson T68i/T68/T39

• Ericsson T68i and T39 do have "Accept Calls" function in the profile setting! You can select accept call from all, from list or from no one.
• Anyone NOT in the accept list will hear a busy tone, because the phone will cut the line!
• It will not nice to cut the line of the caller, even they are calling you not in a good time.
• Why not treat it like what Nokia do, allow it to ring but you hear no sound?
• Keep "Accept calls from all"
• Ggo to "Phone Book -> Personal rings -> Add new?" and assign a lovely ringtone for someone important.
• Send a ringtone with no sound (nothing) to your T68i/T39 by using infra-red or cable! You can find a sample here. Download No Sound Ringtone for T68i (right-click and select save as) / Download No Sound Ringtone for T39 (right-click and select save as).
• Now, go to "Settings -> Profile" and pick a unused profile
• Go to "Settings -> Profile -> Edit profile"
• Set "Ring volume" to 2/6 is enough for the morning
• Set "Ring signals" to No Sound ringtone mentioned above
• Turn off "message alter" and "key sound"

Ok, before you go to bed, select this "Night" profile! If you have 8310, you can also set the Time for this profile too.

Good night :)
