Configuring ringtones for FRITZ!Fon

FRITZ!Fon allows you to use different ringtones. In addition to the default ringtone, you can also set the following special ringtones:

  • different ring tones for your phone numbers
  • ringtones for specific phone book entries
  • ringtone for important persons from the FRITZ!Box phone book
  • ringtone for internal calls
  • ringtone for the alarm

With the 'Voice' ringtone, the caller's name is announced when they call if their phone number is in your contacts. If there is no phone book entry for the number, the city or the country from which the call is coming is announced. You can change ringer volume in the phone's menu and also specify whether the ringer volume should increase.
