How do I personalize alerts for individual contacts on my BlackBerry?

(for BlackBerries operating on OS 4.2 and above)

1. Go to profiles and create a custom profile named after the intended contact.
2. Edit the notification ringtones for SMS, MMS, messages, level 1 messages and phone for this profile.
3. Save changes. This will send you back to the profiles page.
4. Wheel click and select New Exception.
5. Create a title for the new exception (the name of the contact makes the most sense)
6. In the From line select the name of the contact from the address book. This should add them to the From line.
7. Scroll down and change the Use Profile option from Active Profile to your newly created custom group.
8. You may remove the check box from "Custom Phone Tune" if you already have a custom phone tune for this contact, or leave it and set it in the new custom profile as well.
9. Save the changes.
