Abstract: A system and method for managing mobile phone ring tone profiles sets a first ring tone profile, a second ring tone profile, and a trigger value. If a phone number of an incoming call or an incoming message exists in a contact list of the mobile phone, or if the phone number exists in a call log and a communicate count of the phone number is more than the trigger value, the first ring tone profile is selected as a current ring tone profile of the mobile phone. If the phone number does not exist in the contact list and the call log, or if the phone number exists in the call log but the communicate count of the phone number in the call log is not more than the trigger value, the second ring tone profile is selected.
