What's your ring tone?
 
Mine's "Tubular Bells" from The Exorcist.

'cause Cell Phones Are Evil.!

Theme from "Batman" - and I do call it the Bat Phone. . .

Cloud 06-19-2007 03:02 PM

the one from the old show?

Sundae 06-19-2007 03:02 PM

Not doing this to be mean (I need distracting tonight as you know)

sorry. I did actually do a search before starting this thread, but I searched for "ring tone" (2 words) and I guess it didn't pull it up.

We could delete it or merge or something.

Nope, it stands alone - we have new posters and these things change after all!

Cloud 06-19-2007 03:14 PM

The Cheese stands alone. Hi Ho the Derry O the Cheese stands alone!

Kitsune 06-19-2007 03:23 PM

"standard". Strangely, it sounds a hell of a lot like a phone.

I really did not like the pre-loaded ones that came on my phone at all.

elSicomoro 06-19-2007 03:38 PM

I make my own ring tones now...fuck paying $2 for them! I currently have "Tarantula" from The Smashing Pumpkins as my main tone.

wolf 06-19-2007 03:46 PM

I change my ringtone fairly often.

I have recently discovered how to use the distinctive ringtone feature, and I've gone a little crazy with it.

General Ringtone: We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister)
Nuthouse: They're Coming to Take me Away
Mother: Psycho
S.O.: Rome (HBO Series Theme), considering resetting to the Flint presidential hotline phone.
Best Friend: Raiders of the Lost Ark (she loves the movie, even named her Macaw Indiana Jones)
2nd Best Friend: Kinda new-agey thing that came with the phone, need to download something specific to her.
Other Best Friend: It's Raining Men (because at every company party this song would be played and all of the males would dance around her.)
Sycamore: Merry Melodies theme

elSicomoro 06-19-2007 03:51 PM

Yeah!

On my old Moto, Wolf was represented by the 1812 Overture. My Nokia didn't allow me to personalize, but my new Moto does. I'll have to see what I can dig up.

wolf 06-19-2007 04:01 PM

If you would like, I'll send you the link for They're Coming to Take Me Away.

elSicomoro 06-19-2007 04:07 PM

Oooh! That'll work!

rkzenrage 06-19-2007 04:09 PM

Cloud 06-19-2007 04:28 PM

what, no debate about whether ring tone is correctly spelled as one word or two?

elSicomoro 06-19-2007 04:31 PM

Why, you trying to start one? :)

Cloud 06-19-2007 04:35 PM

nope! nosirree!

just thinking that the Cellarites are slipping, that's all!

Badger?


My phone is an old Nokia...the choice of tunes wasn't vast. It's set to Nocturne...has been for best part of three years.

So the obvious choice of Badger, Badger, Badger is just way too much?

Kitsune 06-19-2007 05:18 PM

Verizon is working on the ability for their software to push a ringtone from one phone to another. Quite soon, your phone won't ring with what you select, but with what the caller selects.

God, I hope they let me turn that ability off.

rkzenrage 06-19-2007 06:51 PM

You will be able to.

I refer to him (my husband) as that on the cellar. Badger is his account, but rarely logs in. In real life, he's Pete.
And no, a badger badger ringtone would get me shot.

lumberjim 06-19-2007 07:03 PM

HUH. griff's wife is actually named Badger, and her log in is Pete. wierd.

Star Wars - Imperial March

I have that set for anyone who calls me.
With my old phone, I had about 12 different ringtones that I would swap around, and then I'd forget what tones where mine and what ones were someone else.
So with this one, I use one ringtone,
However, I'd love to find out if "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is out there as a ringtone.

freshnesschronic 06-20-2007 01:17 AM

Throw some D's - Rich Boy

That's what I'm using for Sycamore.

Cingular/AT&T has it. Search for "Looney Tunes".

Cloud 06-20-2007 11:32 AM

I wanted the Star Trek communicator sound, but it's not available for my phone.

Have I mentioned I'm a bit of a SF nerd? :)

wolf 06-20-2007 11:35 AM

I want my phone to make the communicator noise when I open it, but it won't do that either.

Undertoad 06-20-2007 11:40 AM

I use the TNG communicator sound as voicemail notification.

I use the TOS "red alert" sound as TXT notification (which is appropriate, since it is my defacto pager for work, and usually represents an actual problem)

Outstanding!
Got it.
Thanks for the info.

Urbane Guerrilla 06-27-2007 03:47 AM

The wife's got hers rigged with various ones; perhaps the least standard of which is that calls from our home phone ring "Cwm Rhondda."

You don't have a ringtone?
How do you know when it's ringing?

That's funny. I use the sonar ping for my blackberry whenever an email comes in (only when out of the holster). Cool sound. I served on subs for 10 years. That's why I am nuts. :crazy:

Urbane Guerrilla 06-29-2007 01:43 AM

Mnahh... submariners are just interesting -- to compensate for not having a view of sunsets at sea like the Targets get.

vsp 06-29-2007 08:53 AM

I've actually only owned a cell phone for about three weeks now. I picked up a T-Mobile prepaid when it came to my attention that it fit my needs.

At the moment, discarding the horrible built-in ringtones, I have my choice of:
* clip from "Green Onions," Booker T and the MG's
* clip from one of my wife's favorite TV shows' theme as her custom ringtone
* George of the Otto & George ventriloquist act screaming "Let's all take a shit right here."

*

fargon 06-29-2007 09:43 AM

The phone on my desk is a Western Electric model from the early '1970's it's ivory colored, and works no matter what you can run thing over with a truck and it will still work. The ring is a mechanical bell.
the cordless ring tone is we wish you a merry christmas.
my cell ring tone is island tune, and tom's is some ringie noise.
Keryx's ring tone is Fur Elise.

I have an extra Western Electric. Bidding starts now with a $500.00 reserve.

jinx 01-02-2010 08:25 PM

The first 25 seconds of this. It makes me smile...


lumberjim 01-02-2010 08:27 PM

it took me 45 drunken minutes to convert that from a you tube file to an mp3 to a whatever that works on a blackberry.....but it was totally worth it.

livvalah livalahh timmeh!

Cloud 01-02-2010 08:45 PM

HA! mine too. Now I just keep it on silent because I really don't want to talk to anyone.

dar512 01-03-2010 03:21 PM

Main ring tone is the ATT retro bell. Calls from home have the chorus from CSNY Our House. Text messages get a morse code bit. And meetings have a factory sound.

BTW, if your phone has a usb cable available, you can make your own ringtones for free. I've put instructions online for Windows Mobile phones if anyone is interested.

BrianR 01-05-2010 10:04 AM

Mine is pretty simple. Wagner's Der Fliegende Hollander (the Flying Dutchman) for all calls except the wife, who gets a guy saying "Answer the phone or I'm kickin' yer ass!"
