How to Set a Different Call and Text Tone for a Samsung Stratosphere

Set a different ringtone for phone calls and incoming SMS and MMS messages on your Android-powered Samsung Stratosphere. The Stratosphere Sound Settings menu enables you to assign a phone ringtone for incoming calls, and then assign a different tone for all other notifications, including notifications for text messages.
