Blackberry curve 8530/verizon SMS/Alert issues

[Quinton]

I have recently bought a brand new Blackberry curve 8530 in which I am already facing some verizon SMS/Alert issues. The actual situation is that I am not able to change any of the tones for SMS, ringing and so on. There were no such problems yesterday and I can assure about the same because I had checked changing all the tones the other day.

I had transferred all my stuffs from the older Blackberry into this new phone. I am not able to understand why this is happening, even if no setting was changed. Any possible help to get rid of this issue is duly appreciated.

There is a possibility that you must have changed the profile in Blackberry curve 8530 due to which you are getting the verizon SMS/Alert issues. I suggest you to change to the general profile and check out if the issue is persisting still. If this does not help you, then format the device after backing up the same. No problems are reported with the operating of Blackberry till now.
