Youll also hear what the tone sounds like.

If you dont like it, find another.

On an Android phone, the process is very similar.

Go toSettings|Sounds and vibration.Tap onRingtoneorPhone Ringtoneand choose from the preset choices.

When you touch your choice, the circle next to your choice will be filled in.

From there, some Android phones will let you continue your work.

Others require you to tapSave.
