                        @Diane:

                        -Go to MENU->SETTINGS->PHONE PROFILES
                        -Choose NORMAL,
                        -Press LEFT or RIGHT keys until you get to SIM 1 or SIM 2 NEW MESSAGES
                        -There you can change the MESSAGE ALERT TYPE, TONES, ALERTS, etc... each differently for both SIM 1 & SIM 2.

                        Goodluck!

                        Cheers!!

                            Nice preview there GSMArena and a nice dual-SIM handset there Samsung!
                            However, some people might have liked your dual-SIM lineups better if at least you will release a Duos handset that has a camera WITH FLASH. I wonder why all Dual-SIM products don't have flash on their cameras? Is putting a camera flash really impossible for a dual-SIM handset?
