I had the same problem. Any application of an individual call tone is
applied when that person or group of people sends an SMS.

It seems to override the SMS vibrate setting and gives you an ear blast
instead.

I dont think there is any way around it, it's just how the phone works.

I am on O2 by the way, so it is not a network issue.

I went back to setting all alerts to Vibrate then ring, with SMS set for
vibrate only. That way you dont end up rushing to answeer ther phone when it
is just an SMS alert.

That suits me fine, as I dont really need to know who is calling before I
touch the phone (i.e by listening to the ring tone). I can see who is
calling from the external display anyway.

Besides that I like to change my ringtones from time to time as they get
boring, and I would never be able to remember which tones were which people
anyway.

Sorry, no solutions there but at least you know your phone is behaving 'as
it should' and is not broken.
