When you get a call you can assign different ringtone for different contacts so you can easily assign important calls with a specific ring tone , family with a different one this is really useful and practical. now if you want to apply the same on to SMS there is a way thanks to MortRing a freeware pocket pc application.
After installation (ZIP file contains both PC setup and CAB for PPC installation) an icon showing a small cell phone will appear in the tray (lower right corner of the Today screen). If you tap it, a menu will open, which contains entries to open the configuration dialogs. The “SMS filter” allows you to search the sender or message text for given words, and play a special sound and/or even run a program if the search text is contained. The “play internally” options usually only make sense if you disable the system sound, and only WAV files are supported currently. The sense of this feature is compatibility with tools like phoneAlarm, which only supports one single SMS signal and ignores the one MortRing sets, or devices which ignore the registry modifications of MortRing. Sadly, the ringtone modification doesn’t work on every device. Esp. if there are lots of contacts and you’re using a pre-WM5 device, there’s a quite high risk of not working.
Install it to your desired location,either on storage card or on device memory
Login once using your account details,then from the third menu(find vringos) select any one of the online provided videos to set as your videotone.
Buddie-list-you can also set different video ringtones for different callers by creating a buddie-list and adding your personal contacts.
If anyone wants to have their own made videos to be set as videotone,then convert the whole video(max 30 secs) to .3gp format,rename it to pre_vringo & copy it to my device/application data/vringo.overwrite the previous file & restart the application.
