Text Tones

My latest hairbrained scheme is to try to get my very loud, two toned text alert off my old Z10 and onto my iPhone 5s. Why, I hear you ask...or maybe not as not many will be interested in the ramblings of an old grumpy one :D

I like to be able to hear when messages come in, when I'm in a different place to my phone, which invariably I am as I wander aimlessly around the house looking for mischief, or go outside to torment the neighbour.

And I need my email tone/alert too. "YOU'VE GOT MAIL". If you consider that I'm old enough to have used AOL dial-up internet, which at the time was an absolute a must have, the sadness of me needing such a tone becomes apparent as I cling onto the past.

And so, I shall spend the rest of the day trying to Bluetooth, trying to share a file, trying to find the same tone on the internet, and in a bizarre act of final desperation texting and emailing myself to record the tones. :D :rotfl:

The iPhone volume has it's limits. Even if you get your loud tone on the iPhone, it likely won't sound as loud as it did on the Z10.

I think you might be right there. Although the text tone is quite a piercing sound it will be governed by the iPhone volume. I did look in the App Store and found the email tone that I'd like, so that's going to be the easy one :D
