Change SMS Notification by Contact

[sharper4]

I searched for all kinds of different words hoping to find a quick but simple install that will fix my problem, but I kept finding these full blown applications that do WAY more than I need.

The phone already has ringtones for individual people, but I get system pages from the servers at my office and I'd like to set an SMS ringtone to those that will silence them. I still want the SMS from my friends, etc to come through with the default tone.

I haven't tried it, but would setting a silent ringtone in the contact silence the SMS for that contact too? I thought that was exclusively for voice calls.

Is there something simple I can use rather than buying one of these huge packages that have profiles and more advanced settings than I can shake a stick at? Should I just suck it up and get Ringo or something like it or is there something much simplier that is free that anyone is using? I only want the one e-mail address to be silenced.

(And this is on WM6.1)

Man, I am in EXACTLY the same situation.

I tried Ringo Mobile and it's a piece of junk; didn't work half the time. Was a pain to remove.

The other is phonealert, which is just too much overkill and it didn't work either. I wanna barf.

One thing I've noticed is many of these don't know how to handle SMS messages sent from an email address.

Maybe if they had a "reverse group" logic. That way I could set my default alert to be something loud while every other SMS message played something else.

I'd gladly fork over $20 for something that does this, and that works.

$15 bucks.

Has a trial, but worked on an SMS alert from an email address.

FINALLY!!

I've downloaded the trial. It does appear to be working with the e-mail addresses though. Whew!

Thank you very much for the lead! This is very helpful.
