Dispatch texts have sequential address - how to set unique ringtone?

Good evening all,
I'm a volunteer firefighter and our department utilizes a text-based dispatch system as one of the ways of notifying us.  The texts have a sequential number as part of the FROM address... i.e. [email protected]  One message may end with ###138 and the next may be ###165.  Obviously, this makes it difficult to set a contact and assign a unique ringtone as the address constantly changes.
The question I have... how can I set a unique ringtone to a constantly changing address?????
Thanks!
Pete

Yes. It's come up a few times.  The iPhone uses the caller ID string to associate an incoming call or message with a custom ring/text tone.  Unfortunalely, it can not base that on a partial number match. It must match the entire number.
The only real solution would be to assign a custom tone to all of your contacts and a separate tone as the default. That causes its own issue as anything coming from anyone other than your contacts will use the default.

  • I have no idea how to set up a pie chart for tracking spending with categories

    This is what I want to do to help me track my credit card spending.
    I want to make a Numbers sheet where i can jot down how much money i spent on a item, and what category that item would go with (example, food, electronics, gas, so on).
    and then i want to have a pie chart that will show much how much money i'm spending in each category and how much of a percentage of the total each category takes up of the whole.
    I have no idea how to set this up in a sheet. I tried typing it in a few times and every time i go to make a pie chart, it never shows me any of the results i want to see.
    can someone please help me set up a sheet to be able to get this information to display correctly in a pie chart?

    Brad,
    Create a table with the categories and the data (for now you can make up the data):
    Now add a chart from the Charts menu in the toolbar:
    Now click the "Add Chart Data" button just below the chart.
    Now select data (from column B) in the table.  Last trick is to click the menu at the bottom-left corner of the window and change the selection to "Plot rows as series" :
    Now add formulas to the table to properly summarize the data from your data entry table using the sumif() function.

  • How to set purchased ringtone

    How do you set a ringtone purchased from itunes?

    iPhone Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > your purchased ringtones should be at the top of the list.
    To set up ringtone for your contacts, use Contacts app that came with the iPhone.

  • Any suggestions on how to set all ringtones at once?

    I want to know when a call comes in if it is from one of my contacts (and therefore someone that I know), or if it is not (and therefore probably a sales call).  I only have 5 contact that currently have unique ringtones and would halve no problem resetting those after I did a full change.  Again, just changing the default does not accomplish this distinction, all incomming calls ring with the default ringtone, unless the contact is has a different ringtone.

    that is correct. That is the action that you are describing. The default ringtone is just that, default. Unless you set a unique tone for other contacts. The only way to set a unique ringtone for someone is to manually set it, and there is no way to set a default for contacts and then a default for unknown callers.
