Change the Ringtone on a Samsung Phone
Change up the Ringtone on a Samsung device by selecting a pre-loaded ringtone or use a custom music file. You can even select an individual ringtone for a specific contact; so when your phone plays a special ringtone you'll know who's calling. Need help customising your notification tones? Check out our guide How to set a music file as a Notification Tone on my Samsung Phone for step-by-step instructions.
If you would like to extend the number of rings before a call is sent to your voicemail, you will need to get in touch with your network provider as they will be able to increase the ringer length before your call is diverted to your voicemail.

If prompted, select Sound Picker to find music files on your device.

There's no limit to how many different contacts you can select a custom ringtone for. See the steps on how to choose a separate ringtone for just one person in your contacts:
