What does your cell phone sound like when it rings? Did you ever pay for a ringtone?
I haven't paid for one. I just use the reggae one that was an option built into the phone. If they had the Doctor Who theme here I'd be tempted.
![]() I actually have quite a few.� The current ring (that I never hear 'cause I always leave it on vibrate) is Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name of." yes, that part of the song, too.� I've also used the Super Mario theme & a really bad version of the Invader Zim theme. The current ringback is Green Day's "Minority" & the one before that was Soul Coughing's "Screenwriters Blues." Edit: I'm an idiot & somehow managed to delete them all... *smacks head* ![]() Wow, where do I start! I have the data cable and my phone plays downsampled mono�mp3s, so almost everyone in my contact list plays a different song.� My default is Explosivo by Tenacious D.� Some others: corner of the earth(jamiroquai) , pass the dutchie(buck-o-nine), trenchtown rock(brad nowell), sexx laws(beck), saga (Pilfers), beer (reel big fish), mellowship slinky in b minor(red hot chili peppers), smoke two joints(sublime), paranoid android (radiohead), going the distance(cake), the theme to Aqua Teen, master of puppets (metallica), flossing a dead horse(NoFX), jays rap from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, sgt pepper(beatles), fraggle rock(allister), kiss me I'm shitfaced(dropkick murphys), lover undercover(the kgb), jen doesn't like me anymore(less than jake) If any Rochestarians have Nextel phones and want ringtones and games let me know! ![]() ![]() ![]()

It's a ring like an old-skool telephone. Freaks people out. I don't really like to use rings that don't sound like...rings. And it was the only ringlike one on my phone I liked.
![]() ![]() ![]() john is the only one with a different ringtone on my cell :D it's just a high pitched "baloolalooolaloolaloo!" the rest are defaulted to the invader zim theme, but non-caller id calls get a sound like�a real phone. on my vx6000, i had like 20+ downloaded ringtones plus the 30odd that came with it, so everyone on my (omg, i almost said flist) contacts list had a unique ringtone, and i had some left over. i havent taken the time (or the money) to do it here, other than the $7 i spent to get 5 uses from modtones. i still have 4 left to pick out. this phone, i dont like it so much so i probably will never download too many more. i used to love using the unique ringtone because i knew who it was before i even figured out where the hell i left my phone. :D like i knew it was my mom from across the house :D ![]()

I was using an MP3 I made myself of my old-school Bell System living room phone ringing, but it took my V600 too long to load the ring tone and I was missing too many calls! So now I just use a MIDI of "His Yoke is Easy, His Burthen Light" from Handel's Messiah. No confusion over whose phone is ringing!

I've got lots of rings on my phone, most of them Loveline references...
My default ring is a midi of "A Little Respect" by Erasure. My friend Christopher rings as Minka (#1 Asian Big-Boob Queen) saying "Who is number one?" I've also got Deniro saying "Liar! Liar! Whore! And you know it!" from This Boy's Life, Ace Carolla saying "You stinkin' whore!" from Loveline, and a few from Cartman (Kyle's Mom... and German Dance spring to mind) ![]() ![]()
Do you use "That Sound," for the alert that you have a text message?

I have the Lord of the Rings Theme song as my primary ringtone, which I got from some website for free and then uploaded it onto my phone using a USB connector.
I have assigned ringtones for some people, mainly family members, so I know it's them and I choose to answer or not without looking at the phone. ![]() ![]()

"Paint It Black" by the Stones, but I have quite a few others. My phone is stuck in the dark ages of polyphonics, and a lot of the freebies I find forget to play the melody.

I said "No but I've downloaded free ones" because that is the closest answer. Actually I've made my own. My phone accepts wav files, so you can use anything as a ringtone. Mine are KOS for the standard ring. Message for the message ring, Rocks and Trees for the Canadian ring, and You Send Me by Sam Cooke for Lisa's ring.

My ringtone, as it has been for a while, is as follows
Super Mario Brothers 3 (U) [!].nes ripped to Super Mario Brothers 3 (U) [!].nsf (nes music code as opposed to analog audio) converted to Super Mario Brothers 3 (U) [!].wav converted to Super Mario Brothers 3 (U) [!].mp3 downsampled to mono both for space, and the phone only has a (one) mono speaker. and i realize that i didn't exactly explain which of the songs from the game that my ringtone plays. it's the star/invincibility song, which is really friggin' embarassing to have ring while in a video game store. that's the last thing i need, to look like a fanboy. rockin'. yeah, i could have just gotten to the point, BUT I WAS BORED. people love my ringtone, cause well, nobody else really has it in it's authentic audible form, SON! ![]()

Edit 12/16/06 - My current phone has "Number 9, number 9..." part from "Revolution 9" on it. It totally confuses people.
I've got "I Dream of Jeannie" - it's got a nice catchy bossa nova that just screams "answer me! answer me!" while dancing the mambo. Or something I've totally been thinking that Super Mario bros would be cool, and here there are a bunch of people with it. Hy-sterical. My last phone had the first few bars of Day Tripper. ![]()

Gymnopedie #1, by Erik Satie.
My phone didn't come with any normal ring sounds that I liked, so I had to go with one of the fancy-schmancy tones, and the Satie was a) one that I liked, b) one that I'd never heard coming from anyone else's phone, and c) a piece I once played back when I had musical talent. So it won. ![]() ![]()

I don't have a cell phone or a cell phone ring, but if I did, I'd want the theme song from Quest for Glory (... old seirra game. Awesome.)

I hate everyone, which is why I'm changing my ring to:
WHEN SHE TALKS. Cmon, this has terrible-joke potential written all over it. Tee hee. ![]() ![]()

Mine is an ambulance siren...doppler effect. Music just blends into the background for me and by the time I realize it is my phone the caller has already hung up. I have a phone that barks, clucks and farts but doesn't have a normal ringer. Go figure...why would a phone have a ringer? ![]() ![]() ![]()
Just hold your phone's voice recorder up to the stereo, and record the song you want. Then set the recording as your ringtone.

...since the Treo connects to a computer, I've installed a number of WAV, MIDI and MP3 files to it to use as ringtones.
My main ringtone is the theme from "The West Wing." If you're not in my directory, your ringtone is the "this level just ended" music from the original DOOM game. Text messages use the two-beep "incoming PTT call" sound from NEXTEL phones (my Treo is on Verizon). I've considered (but haven't yet downloaded) using the theme from "Robot Chicken" as my main ringtone. Because I've been a cheapskate, I haven't purchased any good ringtone managers for my phone, otherwise I'd have a snippet from JBL's WWE theme (inside joke) for my old roommate Jeff, and a clip from Lifehouse's "You And Me" as Yvonne's ringtone (I have the clips, but the Treo 650 doesn't natively support MP3s as custom ringtones -- I've tried it, and it crashed the Treo). -- Pauley ![]()

Okay I got a USB cable (LG VX5200) and now I have:
Peter, Paul, and Mary - Don't Let The Lights Go Out (mom) Fergie - Fergalicious (my friend, Lindsay) Stewie from Family Guy saying "victory is mine" as my text message alert. Invader Zim Theme (my friend, Jon) Eddie From Ohio - The Bird as my general tone My Chemical Romance - The Sharpest Lives (my friend, Dan) Someone from MST3K saying "suckiness comes through with great clarity" as my picture message tone Fairly Oddparents theme Lily Tomlin saying "no, no messages" ![]() You must first create an account to post.
