i'm sorry, but i have never heard a ringtone in my life that hasn't annoyed the hell outta me. some doofus with headphones in the library here just had his red hot chili peppers ringtone go off mighty loudly (not good chili peppers either - newer stuff. sadly, my boss has a 'californiacation' ringtone. i don't get it). at least the kid heard his phone ringing over whatever crap he was listening to on his headphones. they don't always

i actually thought to myself earlier this afternoon that the sound of an ice cream truck would be a cool ringtone. then i questioned my sanity

how many people here have unique ringtones that they THINK are cool?

betcha they're not

beep and a vibration here. i can't stand the sound of a ringing phone.

i heard a "stayin' alive" ringtone on a teenager's phone last week. after her friend asked where she got the song, the girl with the phone said, "i have the saturday night live soundtrack at home."

i have the theme to the benny hill show(yakety sax) on my phone. it annoys the hell out of people like you.

my old phone had "strangelove" as the ringtone. People who heard it liked it. Now my phone has some standard crap.

Thank you.

i hate ringtones even more than those face devouring sunglasses.


i hate cell phones period, but it'll always be something standard when i'm forced into one.

My friend has this on his phone along with The Final Countdown by Europe. When "Yakety" comes on, we typically chase each other around until he needs to answer his phone.

I used to have Sanford and Son on my old phone. Like the legit audio rip of it too, not some midi.

And for people who want to upload their own schnazz on their phones, I recommend the site 3gupload.com. You pay a base fee for like six months, somewhere around 8 bucks, and you can upload any files to their server and they will reformat them to become ringtones. Thanks to that site, I have the Silver Jews "Punks in the Beerlight" as my phone ringtone. It just repeatedly goes "I love you to the max!" I also have the chorus of Nada Surf's "Popular" and the theme from Curb your Enthusiasm. That site is tits, I say.

Why oh why can't they just make a ringtone like a regular phone!

As for me its vibrate, then low beap.
ladytron: the tv series
I have "Back Then" by Mike Jones as my ringtone. I always pick up right at the part in the song where he goes "mike joooooones". and I laugh. it cracks me up.

this phone is boss



MP3 playback and the sound quality is tops.

My phone lets me upload MP3s via Bluetooth, so I have the first 30 seconds of "Bastards of Young" by the Replacements as my ringtone. Of course, I don't get enough calls to get sick of it.

ugh. my friend put that as his ringtone for when i call him, just to piss me off. that song is the bane of my existance.

i love ringtones, if only because they are soooo god damned annoying. mine is the worst, the first 30 seconds of "rock lobster". i really miss the mono midi0style ghosbusters theme and "crazy in love" on my old phone. there's this great look on peoples faces that goes from "your phone is ringing... what the hell is that? .... why is that your ringtone, you idiot"

my ringtone is a mp3 of manamana from the muppets.

sometimes i switch it with a midi of J-E-N-O-V-A

Mine is a generic, built-in one on my Nokia. I like it because it sort of sounds like a lost theme to some Street Fighter-ish videogame and it gets me pumped up and excited to answer the phone. Also, it's the least annoying out of the batch that I can choose from.

dude, i uploaded Carl Weathers on Arrested Development to my phone discussing the finer points of getting a stew going. it's soft, but if you can hear it, it's pretty much the most awesome thnig since jesus and that thing he did with wine.

Ringtones can never suck on this phone.

i just got one of these a month ago. your right the mp3 player does sounds pretty good. i think i need to upgrade my memory so i can get more stuff on it. i only have 6songs on there and it's almost full.

not being totally savy with it..but can you take the songs from your player and make them your ringtone?

I actually found the go team as a ring tone so I masturbated and then bought it. I have an mp3 player on mine with the bluetooth and shit but I'm to lazy to figure out how to use it.

Mine plays "How We Do" because I gave up dLing ring tones when I figured out my lame-ass phone can only play midi versions.

Best ringtone I have heard:

I was in a library, and suddenly hear this:


Voice of Darth Vader: "You have a call from the Dark Side".

I look up, and this dude is grinning like an idiot. I say "that better not be your wife".

He sighs, and says "it is", and answers the phone.

I proceed to fall off my chair laughing.
without_opinion
mine is something that came with my phone, called "block party". my old phone was one called "clubbin". but i've always wanted to have my ring be donnie saying "phone's ringing Dude. Dude, your phone's ringing."
