    it cannot be done i'm afraid.

    the only way around it is to:

    a) never switch it off (use the offline mode)
    b) press any button repeatedlay to negate is making the sound when turning it on

    annoying i know as the volume of the startup tune has no correlation to the ringing volume set on the phone!

    :think:

    Don't switch if off.

    Change it to a different profile i.e. silent

    :rolleyes:

    Is it not in the menu then? Other Nokia phones have this in Phone Settings > Start-up tone (on Nokia 3120 menu 5 5 8 2 turns it off)

    Before turning the phone off, press and hold the hash key (#). This will activate the 'Silent' profile. Then when you switch it on and it has started up, press and hold hash again to return to the 'General' profile.
