Set Default Photos -- Opens a screen that lets you assign, change, or unassign default Photo IDs for Unknown Photo, Not-found Photo, and general Default Photo, as follows: Smartphone User Manual 39 Unknown Photo: This photo will display whenever the phone number of the incoming call is not known to Caller ID because no phone number was "passed in" to your phone. This would occur if the person calling you has blocked their phone number from being displayed to the receiver, or has not enabled the broadcast of their Caller ID. Not-found Photo: This option in the Set Default Photos screen lets you assign a generic Photo ID to any incoming call from a person whose number is not found in your Contacts. That is, the phone number of the incoming call is known, but has no matching entry in your Contacts. Default Photo: This photo will display when the incoming call is found to be from a matching entry in your Contacts database, but so far there is no user-assigned Photo ID for either that individual Contact entry, or for the Group it belongs to. Display Settings -- Selecting this from the Options submenu opens the Display Settings screen, which allows you to specify whether the Photo ID should consist of only a photo (Use Photo Only), or a photo merged with a template (Use Template).

And, to add more fun and a stronger visual impact to your incoming calls, you can assign an animated "template ID," which will serve as a frame around the image, if desired. Templates are animated GIF files, and are available in both Portrait and Landscape orientation.
