What are yours? I have the last verse of Handlbars (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AuK2A1ZqoWs) for calls and, much to the amusement of those around me, the last line of Cigaro (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uIfnr9yueRE).

Mine is "Neko Mimi Mode", by Dimitri From Paris.

This, albeit that the ringing noise is a recording of a 70s British rotary dial telephone (i.e. it's BRING BRING, as opposed the RIIIIIIING sound that tends to come as an option with phones these days), but it's just a ring, nonetheless.

I confess that I do use a WWII sonar 'ping' noise as my text alert though, a holdover from an obsession with U-boats that I developed a few years back :$

Folks, once and for all - linking to /answering with xkcd comics is of course the royal, most favorable option of them all, but: If you pic-link it that way, you lose the mouse-over text, and that's absolutely not tolerable and makes people like me have to got through the trouble o f locating the strip on its homesite to find out.

Bad, bad Neo Art.

My phone either vibrates or makes a ringing noise, depending on whether I wish it to be heard. Silly ringtones are dreadfully vulgar and plebian. People choosing a ringtone which makes everyone around them have to listen to the latest rap sensation being misogynistic or glorifying guns are universally dreadful scum, who quite frankly require immediate annihilation :)

I was actually wondering if there was a way to incorporate the mouse over text...

But just for you m'dear I'll follow up with a link from now on.

I can't stand people trying to be funny via their ringtones.... they aren't. There ARE no funny ringtones! All there is is annoying noise!!!


My phone has a normal ring for calls, and vibrates for texts. That's it. It's a bloody phone, after all! If you need to express your personality with your phone, get a fecking personality first!

My ringtone is "Brave Sir Robin." It's too silly to make up.

But I wanna let everyone know that my cock is much bigger than theirs, every time I get a text. :(

Take it from me : If you're not currently swimming in the money you make from p0rn, it most likely isn't. And everybody knows. :p

I can sense your condescension from across the atlantic :p

Oh, good! You're so nicely developing into a man who's in tune with a woman's sensitive feelings and vibes! Good boy, you'll be real popular with the ladies one day.

I usually have my phone set for vibrate, but when I need it to be heard, I have it ring with whatever song I like at that moment which has cool opening bars. At the moment, it's the opening bars of Golden Brown (made famous in Snatch, amongst others).

For messages, I have an R2D2 beep.

But as I say, normally to have a phone go off with an actual sound is impolite and excessively annoying. I only have it like that when I need it, and cut off the sound as soon as I can.

The sound of one hand clapping

The Imperial Darth Vader March.

Nokia Tune.

Normally I keep my phone on vibrate, but when its on volume, a +44 song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-S0wKuSKoc) plays.

As for texts.. I have a warping sound, so when I get one, it sounds like someone is warping into my pants. It used to be a doorbell, but my balls started to hurt from all the knocking.

my phone rings

i really want the ringtone my nephew has that sounds like an old fashioned bell ring phone. but i cant be a copycat that way.

sigh

My phone lost it's ringing speaker about six months ago. I've had it on vibrate since then, and not missed the loss at all.

My phone doesn't have a ring tone as such, it has Gene Hunt from Life on Mars telling me that 'if you don't answer the phone I'm going to come round your house and stamp on all your toys' - scares me into picking up but admitted sounds really embarassing when I get a call in a shop
My text alert is a cockerel crowing and my e-mail alert is a submarine ping

I now know I am very sad

vibrate and Dr. Kelso from Scrubs saying "Make it very quick, I'm about to vomit."

I want that one:)

A fragment from Mike Oldfield's "Amarok". Vibrate wouldn't make sense as I usually have my phone in my bag. Also, classical "ring"s scare me.

There is a very practical reason for different ringtone melodies.

It's so that when someone else's phone rings, you know it's not yours, and similarly, so that you can recognize your phone even if you've left it in your overcoat.



I have an Ericsson R310, though, which is a bit short in the term of melody features. Well, if you know what it is, you know what "a bit" means here.

I don't actually know, my phone has been on just vibrate for as long as I can remember.

I now know I am very sad

I've recently read an article (that I agree with) detailing how, yes, "sad" people were who feel the need to have their phone say mean/degrading/abusive things to them. I'm fully aware that a phone is just a phone and not a person and all that, but I still find it highly worrying if someone seeks out verbal abuse like that.

It was "Spider Pig" (the choral version, of course) up until fairly recently, when I missed a succession of calls because I just couldn't hear it very well. Now it's some random tune that came with the phone.

When I still had a phone, I programmed it to ring with the rejistanian national anthem (which I composed myself).

I want that one:)

here you go :D

I don't own a portable phone. If I did, I'd either use the theme song from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show or Karl Rossmann's "Fragment V".

My Ringtone. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0) Srsly.

Vibrate!

I don't see the need of an annoying noise when I can just feel it in my pants.

Something that came on the phone

I use a random melody that came with the phone because it was the only one of the however many tones that was halfway bearable. I hate about 99.5% of all ringtones out there.

I like ones that sound like old-timey phones, I'd love to have the title melody to the black & white Miss Marple TV films with Margaret Rutherford, and about the best ringtone I've ever heard was a slowly repeated loud knocking on wood sound. Sounded very real and made for many confused people.

I can't remember the last time I had my phone on anything other than vibrate. I find those of others to be irritating enough without adding to it all.

If I were to have it on, it's set as 'Soul Limbo'.

Icewind Dale II - Shaengarne Bridge battle theme as a ringtone and the "receiving transmission" prompt from the Starcraft Battlecruiser for text messages, just so that it's unique enough for me to know that it's my phone ringing when it's not in my pocket. If it is, it's silent/vibrating anyway.

Star Trek theme song.

Also, one of my students got an I-phone and was quite pissed that I could hear it ringing during class......:confused:

He said I wasn't supposed to be able to hear it.......but I could. I think I must have missed something.

My old phone had Ratatat's Tropicana (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEZECN_gvTc) as the tone I generally used, though sometimes I'd switch it to Donde Se Fueron by Ozomatli. I got a free upgrade to the new Palm, though, and can't get custom tones without a freaking memory stick so I just use Nokia or, more of than not, leave it on vibrate.

Er....not Donde Se Fueron, it's Dejame en Paz...though, if I ever get a memory stick to make custom tones on, I'll probably switch it to Chango (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y49s7J_2P6E).

There is a high-pitched ring tone that most people over 30ish or something, I think, generally cannot hear. Personally, I think it's fucking obnoxious and you might as well just use vibrate.

I have a unique custom ring tone. It's not one I downloaded through Virgin. It's one I cut from an MP3 and condensed into a perfect ringer size. I have the Type A music from the original Gameboy Tetris as my ring tone...

"Beating Heart Baby" by Head Automatica. For most of my phone-owning years I had a generic ring, but then it was hard to tell when MY phone was ringing. I don't have a different ringtone for different callers, I just have one clip of a song, and if you don't like listening to Daryl Palumbo sex his little voice out for 10 seconds then you can bloody well take a hike.

This, and it's a really stupid generalization. Everyone's hearing doesn't deteriorate at the same rate. I can hear a lot of high tones that most adults don't seem to notice or that don't seem to affect them as much. I'm glad they don't use those sounds to ward off teenagers from stores like they've been in London--they'd never get my business.

for the ring i currently have part of "5 million ways to kill a ceo"
and the icq uh-oh for txts

Thing is, even assuming it works as it says, which is a pretty big assumption, it still annoys every person of your age around you that can hear it.

Oh, was gonna change a buddy's ring to chorus of this wonderful piece (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0_50gXTlyU) (I realize it's a remix), but never got around to it. Too much trouble for a practical joke.

Mine just Vibrates...anything less and I wouldnt Notice, Anything more and i wouldnt be able to keep my phone on me in College...

My phone sounds like a phone. I have considered changing it to the Soviet National Anthem, which would lead to comedy when I have my drills with the National Guard.

Okay I have just seen an advert for a ringtone that is supposed to make people think you are farting.

What is the world coming to.

Mine plays the Shawn Michaels entrance theme for calls, and 'The Game' by Motorhead for the alarm.

For calls I have a few bars of an unrecognizable latin jazz piece that came with the phone. Texts and messages are the whistle that Willy Wonka uses to summon the Oompa Loompas.

If you play my ringtone backwards it reveals Cheneys new undisclosed location.

Generic ring.

"Fields of Anfield Road" as sung by the Kop.

I thought more of you, Ruffykins.

Incidentally, are there fields near Anfield road?






Also, I also have the sound of a shotgun being fired for my "you haz a txt, lol" tune.

But I wanna let everyone know that my cock is much bigger than theirs, every time I get a text. :(

Oh yeah?

My cock can run right through the door!

My phone rings for a call, and when I get a text it beeps twice. Simple and efficient.

I once did program my phone to say "Answer the damn phone!" when my mom called...

My mobile is on vibrate all of the time. I hate ringtones with a passion.

You, sir, are awesome. Sadly I don't have a cell phone.

Keep Your Hands To Yourself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN7bPjuZT4A)for the wife.

Take This Job and Shove It (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knetbVx5A-Q) for work.

Copperhead Road (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc86_Weoye0)for everyone else.

I wanted the Imperial March for the wife...

Vibrate for most, the x-mas tune for my parentals and a tropical tune for whoever my current girlfriend is.
