Do you have a personalized ringtone for your cell?

gingersoul posted on Mar 07, 2007 | views: 2927 | Tags: ringtone, cell, mobile phones, personalized music, tip, watch, Music, ringtone cell, ring ring, sticking together
I was going to bed when my cell started to produce that annoying sound that means: i am dying, please feed me, charge me, take care of me.
So i took care of it. Now is attached to its oxigen tank.....:-).
 
When i turned it off i have to aknowledge (again) the fact that my cell has one of the most horrible "goodbye" sound ever (and naturally the "hello" sound too). It vaguely resembles the sound of a speeding car but in a high pitch tone.....i don't like it but i know i will never take the care to change it....
 
The reason is that i use my cell for very few features.
I don't use it for watching videos, movies, play games, watching tv, connecting to the web or  to my emails.
I just call,  text message and take some occasional picture.
I know, some would think.......what a waste ot opportunities...lol...have it, use it, lady!....
 
Actually i think to be one of the very few people in the world who doesnt' have a personalized ringtone.
The one that was on when i bought teh cell is still my ringtone.
 
I really dont care to shop for one, i don't mind to have this impersonal music.
At 12 my daughter has already changed her ringtone at least 6 times in 6 months.....lol...
 
But i am curious: what kind of ringtone you have? Why did you choose it?
How do you use your cell, beside calling and text messaging?
Do you feel lost without it?
 
Oh, i have to take back what i said: i do use my cell for something else.
Since my watch broke last year i didn't buy another one. My cell tells me the time now.
And at the restaurant i finally dont have to split my head anymore trying to figure out the rigth tip: my cell have a tip calculator. Very, very useful.....:-)

    ginsoul- The last cell I got, my wife was going through all these sounds. I said "what are you doing?". She said "you need to choose your ring". I said "the one it came with was fine". She said "but what do you want it to sound like?". I said "riiiiiiig". After about twenty minutes of playing she gave me my "riiiiiiig".
     
    My cell has everything on it and what I do with it is talk.
     
    What I dislike about it is "when" people call. It is always, virtually no exception, at a most difficult time to talk. Take today. I went to Lowes and was loading a 4' by 8' sheet of material onto a cart- someone calls. I get to the register to pay, someone called. I get to the truck and am loading that same sheet, someone called. Same thing unloading at home. Immediately after, I piddled in my workshop for six hours- not a tinkle out of it.
     
    And guess what? Not a single person that called had the slightest of importance to talk about.
     
    But I'm a guy. Phones are for messages, business, or emergency- not for my wife to tell me she might have to have her hair trimmed next week-
     
    I've never called anyone in my life to tell them I had to pee, why do they?

    hi ginger, no, I don't have a personalized ringtone for my cellphone, I think those embedded in the phone suits my taste.

    But let me tell you a story about my officemate who recorded the crying sounds of his nephew and set it as his ringtone. When he was taking his exams (he is a nursing student), he forgot to put his phone on mute mode. Then his wife called. Naturally, there was a crying sound. His teacher, obviously annoyed, barked: "feed that poor baby, will yah?"
  • Ladyfly said on Mar 07, 2007....
    I have to confess, I love my many ringtones. I have a different tone for the most important people in my life, ie: mom, sister, best friend. And then I have a different tone for my ex so I know not to answer. And then more tones for alarms. And one tone for gereral calls.
     
    I only use my phone for calls, text messaging, the time, and for pictures when my digital camera is dead.
  • Comfort said on Mar 07, 2007....
    I have various ring tones for various different people. I admit I only really use my phone for calls, texts and the occasional pic..
  • silverwhisper said on Mar 07, 2007....
    i use the default ring tone, b/c that way, it's unique. :>

    i chose it b/c the handset was free: i don't want much out of my phone. i don't need it to be a mp3 player, or entertainment system. i use it to talk, the odd text (very infrequent) and random picture.

    what i really want though is not to have to save my entire damned address book to my SIM card. saving it to my phone lets me identify what type of phone# it is, set distinctive ring tones, etc.

    that prospect is annoying the hell out of me right now: i'm eligible for a free handset upgrade next month. :> o, and i want a bluetooth headset. :D

    Beyond.....LOL......priceless......dont they do this anytime? How come that when we are doing absolutely nothing our cells never rings BUT when we have both hands occupied they scientifically target us?....mistery of technology... bet they have a built in sensor that signal our level of busy-moments.....its ac onspiracy, Beyond, we have to warn the world...LOL.....but about the distinction between man and woman...i know more than few guys who can go nuts for their cells.....

    Lioness ....funny story...LOL.....it reminds of my ex boyfriend..he picked the sound of a...... cow ...???.......anytime we were in public and this stupid cell was ringing out loud and distincly milkyshly.....i wanted to bury myslef...everybody would look around trying to spot who could ever chosen thast stupid ringtone....geezz.... 

  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Lady.....of, so you are Lady of the Ringtone....lol......

    You are like my ex husband...he had a different ringtones fro anybody. But lately he had to have them especially to know who was calling him: me or his mistress....yep....

    Comfort.....good, i am glad to see that the cell madness didnt hit you....:-)

    SW......yes, the SIM card thing can be annoying....My only problem with my cell memory has been when i lost it and i had several .....lets say.....spicy pixs in it......that was when my ex husband and i were sending to each others these sexy shots from all over the places....so you can imagine my face when i went to meet the kind girl who had found my cell......only thing i was obsessing was: Did she go thru my pictures? Did she go thu my picture?".......

    Neverthless to say, they have been deleted when i passed the cell to my daughter....:-) 

    Bluetooth headset, eh?...see, i wouldn't know what to do whit that...lol.... 

  • genalonewolf said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Oh I personally hate cell phones. I want pickle to have one b/c I don't want her to be stranded somewhere without being able to call roadside assistance.
    She loves to have all different kinds of rig tones, like the one she has now is the song from three days grace called Pain. She loves that one cause I learned to play the song on my guitar in like a day and now she loves it! go figure.
  • silverwhisper said on Mar 07, 2007....
    ah...see, compromising pics like that, i would forward to an e-mail address and delete. :>

    but i can easily see how that would make you really, really anxious!

  • lioneljay said on Mar 07, 2007....
    I use one of the default ringtones that came with my phone - but it sounds like a traditional old dial phone with a real bell. It's very unusual because most cell phone rings sound like the electronic tones that they are.

    Here's an unusual use for a cell phone, ginger. The dashboard lights in my son's Jeep do not work so when he's driving at night if he wants to see his speedometer he opens up his cell phone and uses the light from the screen to see by.
  • secretlife said on Mar 07, 2007....

    my cell phone sits in a compartment in my van.  it rarely leaves unless it needs to be charged, and normally i find out it needs to be charged when i go to use it and it's dead.

    i do take it with me on business trips or when i'm in a class.

    butno, the ringtone on it is whatever came with it.

    i've never used the calculator or the camera....have no interest in this.

    i have a treo i use for work.  it's sitting to my right side as i type.  it has games and a video camera and just about everything else you can imagine....i use it to test the application i support at work and nothing else.

    both my girls have cell phones.  they both have custom ringtones.  they both take lots of pictures and upload them to the computer, etc....my oldest uses the clock because she too lost her watch.

    i will admit that i think the i-phone looks very cool.  i love the commercials they're running now for it....maybe the i-phone will change my mind about the whole thing.

  • botoni said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Mine always has had the sound it came with.  Not at all interested in the 'features'.  I do use it for telling time since I dont like wearing a watch.  I hate being interupted needlessly with it so very few people have the number and they are all well aware of my policy.  EXPLAIN THE CRISIS FAST OR I HANG UP.
     
    All that was true until.............................
    I needed it on during a meeting so out of politeness set it to vibrate.  I had on sweat pants....no pockets....so I slipped it in my jockies.  WHOA!  I ll post my number if everyone promises to call or text!
  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Gene....aughhhh........that's sweet..... She loves you and so she loves your music too... :-)

    SW........believe me..i tried to transfer them to my email address but for some reason  it didnt work...the emails would arrive yes but without the pix.....i took as a sign of the fate...better forget them alltogether....yet, even now i am puzzled because even my new phone doesn't transfer the pixs to my email......grrr....

    any idea why not? 

    LJ....that a cute sound......i really like it......and thanks for the tip.....i already used it .......and what about this one: i use the light to look inside my purse when its dark ...:-)

    no mention during the concerts...it completely surpassed the old fashion highlighter of my youth.....lol....

    Secret...my daughter went totally nuts the first month she had her cell....i had to tell her i was going to take it away because she was constantly buying new ringtones, new backscreen.... but still i like for her to have it because when she stays with her father she can call me anytime she wants (yep, even late at night.....) and she sends me cute txt messages and pix of her.......but she is already complaining how old her model is (???) and she had already hinted several times to the i-phone......

    it does look cool, isnt'it?  But there is no way i am going to buy it....so she better keep what she has in good shape....lol..  

  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Bot.....LOL....i knew you would have found a sexy way to use it.....uhmm, all of a sudden that boring meeting must have turned in a very intriguing one...lol.....

    Ok, give me your number...i am going to call you each hour.....can you make it?.....LOL....

     

  • kruuyai said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Wow... you can watch TV on a cell phone?  How?  You know I'm always trying to figure out new ways to watch TV.  lol  I think I set my ringtone to We Wish YOu a Merrry Christmas, but nobody ever calls here.. we just send text messages, so I don't think I've ever heard it!
  • silverwhisper said on Mar 07, 2007....
    GS: really? i've never had that problem when i did it before. who's your carrier and what brand mobile phone do you use? is it possible your anti-virus software thinks they're bad?

    ed
  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Kruu....well, yes that's what they say......never tried so i have no idea....you should ask SW....lol....

    You have that ringtone all year around? ....lol... ....you and i would send those ringtone sellers in bankrupcy....lol...

    SW.....my carrier has alwasy been Cingular.....with the old ones i tried many many times because i didnt want to lose that pixs......they were really cute...lol....it hurts to think they are gone forever....:-( 

     with this new one sometimes i can tranfer them and sometimes no.... go figure...

  • silverwhisper said on Mar 07, 2007....
    ugh. worst comes to worst, you should be able to buy a USB cable that connects it to your computer, no? the manual should say something about that, i would think.

  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    SW ...oh, manuals......those mysterious things i should always read and i never read...lol.......

    i will go and check...but its not that important now.......no more sexy pixs roaming around...my cell is clean as a baby now.....lol...

    but, as Napoleone Bonaparte said, we always need to be prepared for the incoming needs...*wink*

  • beyondtheveil said on Mar 07, 2007....
    ginger- A cow? They have a ring like a cow?
     
    Do they have a ring sounding like two cats fighting in an alley? I might put this on my phone just to get back at these people who call me at those inopportune times. I can see their faces in a nice restaurant when it rings.
  • mobil said on Mar 07, 2007....
    I don't have a cell phone Ginger, how sad is that? The phone in the house
    rings like it always did though, just the regular, ring, ring, ring type thing.
     
    I had a cell phone, one mounted in my truck on a column with hands free
    talking back in 1992. That's before most people had one. It was before
    ringtones became goofy too I think.
     
    Now that everyone and their dog has a cell phone, I don't have one. I kinda
    like it that way........har har........thanks Gingerbread
  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Beyond......lol.......yes, a muuuuhhhhh cow sound...awful, let me tell you, but for some strange resaon he founded so funny....bah.....

    i love your idea ....can imagine the people jumping off their seats..an the waiters.."Sorry, but we have to ask you to leave..you and your cats".....:-)

    Mobil.......now, why this doesn't surprise me? ..:-)

    You have been a cell pioneer and then you let it go when everybody and their dogs (and cats..) have it...lol...

    question: wouldn't be useful to have one with you when are roaming in your wilderness? Or you use walkie-talkie....;-)  

  • glitzNglam said on Mar 07, 2007....

    I actually have different ringtones but only for important people like my mom....if  my phone isn't near me and it goes off i know if it's important to go run after it.  Plus my husband is in iraq right now so i make sure that all the unrecognizeable #'s have a lound annoying rintone....just in case he calls me in the middle of the night and it will be a guarantee my ass will wake up.

     

  • lioneljay said on Mar 07, 2007....
    I once found a program available for downloading that allows you to generate a ring tone from any sound file. My idea was to turn the audio from a short porn video into a ringtone. Imagine hearing the sound of a woman's climax every time the phone rings! :D
  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Glitz....nice to meet you....:-)....sorry to hear about your husband.....how long has he been there? is he able to call you often?......it must be so hard having him so far and in such mad situation.......when my ex husband was in the Navy he got sent in mission during the Gulf War...no calls allowed then, no letters, no emails...absolutely nothing.....it has been really difficult....nerve wreacking....

    so i understand how you are feeling now.....be strong...

    LJ.....LOL.....you and your devilish mind......but they already stole your idea, my little pervert......i read that they have any kind of porno star selling their moaning as ringtones now...not mention the sexy alarm alert from any possible babe you can name...you set your cell for ringing at 6am before going to work and you can be awaken by the voice of  Pam Anderson calling you...

    "Wake up, Lionel, its time to get him up"....LOL...

  • dailyachesandpains said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Ginger...my ring tone is "Who Can it Be Now?" 

    I believe it's by Men at Work

    Daily

  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Daily.........yes, its Men at work...and its simply perfect.....lol.....

    oh... you could download Lil Daily's voice saying "Pick up the phone, mommy".... wouldn't  it be cute?....{hugs}

  • dailyachesandpains said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Ginger, I absolutely love it and only picked it for the lyrics, lol!

    I wish I could download her voice and do that.  Hummm...there's got to be a way!

    We had her do the home voice mail.  Something I swore I would never do before I had her, lol.  Then, our voice mail changed and it was erased...boo hoo!

    Daily

  • mobil said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Ginger; I see you've picked up on the nonconformist in me ! You know, I
    had a mobile phone, not cell phone in 1982, I forgot about that phone. It was
    bigger and heavier than a brick lol.
     
    No, cell phones do you no good in the wild places Ginger. There are no
    signals there. I remember when they caught the Unabomber here in Montana
    and all the news people came to this small town.
     
    One pay phone and they all had to get their stories out. No signal for their
    cell phones haha and there was a line a mile long at the one pay phone.
    har har............thanks Gingerbread
     
    Oh, no walkie talkies either, we rough it here Ginger.......ho ho ho
  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    OK, i launch a public request for Daily. Please, techno gurus...advise.......

    Mobil....see, here it goes my painful ignorance of the basic...suggesting you to bring a stupid cell in those areas where there is no signal at all...lol...

    Why dont you write a post about that story? i would love to read it.....lol..i can imagine that hord of reporters frustrated to have the big scoop and not being able to tell anybody!!!!....LOL..

  • Bronx said on Mar 07, 2007....
    Great post, Ginger!

    I use the one of the default ringtones on my cell phones; but always, I choose the one with the type of music that I can cut abruptly without any real sense of deprivation.

    Some people used to complain about me not answering the phone on time or at all sometimes: how could I, with 'Cry Me A River' playing as the ringtone? Hee hee.

      
  • LadyGamer said on Mar 07, 2007....

    I freaked out someone recently when in their presence I recieved four or five calls from different people and each call had a different ringtone. I will confess I have about thirty ringtones and all my favorite people have their own tone so I know to pick up. If the general tone rings...I probably won't answer the call.

    What else is voice mail for?

  • Tinkerman said on Mar 07, 2007....
    I do not have a personalized ringtone,i just used the default ringtone that came with the phone.
    Ringtone dowloading is huge business over here, especially among the youth.  Their phone is an extension of the user,you can see a little bit of themselves in the look and sound of their phones.  I've downloaded and personalized ringtone before (years ago), but have since outgrown that phase.
     
    My mobile is used most frequently for txting messages, as a music/FM player during bus journey to & fro work, incoming/outgoing calls (infrequent), and lastly picture taking.
  • glitzNglam said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Ginger: nice to meet you too! :)  He's been over there for about 6 months....and actually i get to hear from him almost everyday!  If not by a phonecall then an email.  The place where he's at is not so bad  (knock on wood)  so im thankful that i get to hear from him often...if not id be a total wreck too!

  • dailyachesandpains said on Mar 07, 2007....

    I always want to call you Ging-E

    LOL!

  • skald said on Mar 07, 2007....
    In one cellphone I had, I knew exactly who was ringing me from the tone. I had put a special  ring tone for all my family members. then when I go the one I have now I found all tones impossible. Once I recored my friends voice she was calling Jo Jo it´s the telephone for you. I loaned my husband the phone and it rang calling that out. Everybody was looking at him because it was a womans name the phone was calling or be cause it was calling. I found an appalling sound that every one hears and I use it. Hugs.  
  • momsrock said on Mar 07, 2007....
    My ring tone is Lenny Kravitz "American Woman" but I very rarely use it. In fact, I left it in the car over night back in December and it frosted over. I thought it would work once it unthawed...but it didn't. I have a free update in two weeks so I'll just get a new one then. My friends and family can't stand not being able to find me 24 hrs a day but I don't mind! lol... I only have service in town and can't even use it at my house...what's the point!! One of the benefits of living in such a rural area I guess. I used it more for text messages and pictures than for talking anyway.... the only thing I miss about it is letting my kids take pictures of themselves while I am trying to drive...lol

    Bot....isnt' t crazy?! But you have to understand that when Mobil goes camping it actually goes in what seems more and more a sort of National Geographic expedition....lol...

  • momsrock said on Mar 07, 2007....
    ginger, most are of the back of my head...lol but I like to look through them when the kids give it back to see what kind of things they spot and take a picture of...it's kind of funny. Ummm except for the one time we were at the mall and my six year old was irritated that I was buying panties and bras in his presence. I handed him my phone to take pictures so he wasn't quite so irritated and when he gave the phone back he was laughing hysterically... when I flipped through the pictures there were numerous pictures of womens butts!!!! no wonder he was laughing so hard!!
  • gingersoul said on Mar 07, 2007....

    Raunting...nice to meet you..:-) hey you are right..i just used it for the same reason few hours ago....lol...even though it was kind of light for my hard cover book.......Mario ringtone.eh?....

    Bot.....LOL......Mobil would hunt that beaver even back to Canada, dont worrry........that man is merciless...LOL..."bethwwtter sttowwp, youwh beaverhhh" ...lol...

    Moms....that's hilarious....LOL....but what can you expect.....after all from his point of view the world is all made of butts!!!...lol......my daughter for some time was fascinated by feet......pixs and pixs of feets...i think her shoes fetish started right there......:-)

  • hotaka said on Mar 07, 2007....

    ginger -- my cellphone usage is similar to yours. recently, a brother gave me a 3g samsung with the usual frills. but i barely use it, esp since the mms-bluetooth combination is a security nightmare and a mall hacker's dream. i decided to stick to my old clunky nokia 6150 because of its bigger keypad (for my clumsy oaf's hands...:-), and because it works seamlessly with my pc's nokia pc suite when i want to save or update phone numbers. ringtone is one of the basic selections -- bach minuet in e.

  • moonriver said on Mar 08, 2007....
    oops, sorry 'bout that, was twiddling with the volume controls... :-)

  • lioneljay said on Mar 08, 2007....
    I was just reminded of a story that a friend told me once. She had chosen the theme song from The Exorcist as her ringtone. Let's just say that she learned the hard way to turn off her cell phone when she attended mass.
  • moonriver said on Mar 08, 2007....
    that's minuet in g. siht, waht's wonrg wif me tdoay...? lol

    Silent......i like it too...its really unique...in this era of techno sounds....:-)

    Moon...WOW....was the reception so bad you have to scream my name??....LOL...I HEAR YOU!!!...

    Oh, for some reason i knew you would not have any fancy-dandy cell......strict to the basic for you ...lol....and i simply, simply love your ringtone....Bach is my favorite composer......imagine that...*wink*

    LJ.......no wayyy....too funny......oh, i want that too now....LOL.....

    was the music "Tubular Bells"? .......great soundtrack .....

  • lioneljay said on Mar 08, 2007....
    Yes, ginger, the music was from Tubular Bells. In fact, it was a medley of their hit.
  • gingersoul said on Mar 08, 2007....

    LJ....oh  LOL..it is so spooky......i remember one day we made a terrible prank this girl who went to the movie with us ...she almost pee in her pants....we invited her to one of my friend's house...we let the door slightly open when we knew she would have come...then we turned off all the lights.....living only some candle in circle on the floor in front of the door.....and as soon as she stepped in from the stereo we blasted Tubular Bells.....LOL...

    she screamed like a pig to the slauther.......she started to jump up and down and we had to get out from our hideout of she would have a heart attack...too funny...mean to the bones but funny.......

    so unfair at that time we didnt have a videocamera..we would have become international sensation on YouTube right  now......LOL.... 

    That movie created a collective histeria....:-0 

  • lioneljay said on Mar 08, 2007....
    Ginger, my daughter and her friends had a similar reaction to seeing the movie. When she was about 12 she asked if she could watch a horror movie with some girlfriends who were sleeping over at our house. Her mother gave her permission only if the movie didn't have any blood and gore. So I picked The Exorcist and the girls were frightened out of their wits. My daughter still refuses to eat pea soup because it was used to simulate vomit in the movie.

  • gingersoul said on Mar 08, 2007....

    Oh i can totally understand.......i was playing it cool when i was watching the movie but it did freak me out......l..

    But you.....picking that movie.....come on....her mom asked for no blood and gore and you make her see a movie where a girl is seen rotating her head and floating with her bed vomiting green stuff and talking with that Kathleen Turner with a bronchitis kind of voice????......

    bad daddy...lol....lets talk about trusting our own parent!......lol.....

     

  • lioneljay said on Mar 08, 2007....
    Ginger, my intent was simply to expose my daughter to one of the best-made movies ever. I always challenged her to read more difficult and engaging books and to watch the best movies. It paid off, by the way.

    Back to the subject of ring tones: yesterday I tried to download a ring tone (Beethoven's 5th Symphony) but ran into some kind of technical problem. Now I'll have to take my phone into a store to see if they can diagnose the hardware. Yikes....look at the trouble you caused me, ginger. :D
  • gingersoul said on Mar 08, 2007....

    LJ.....i applaude to your method.....same here.....but still...no Exorcist for my baby....LOL...at least not yet.....but i made her watch with me a beautiful movie from an Iranian director about the journey of a woman thru the desert to find her sister during the war....it was naturally subtitled..and she liked it a lot...

    Did you really mess up your cell? I am sorry.....but i bet that has been Mike Odfield punishing you for not having chose Tubular Bells..lol..

    Btw, great music choice.. :-)

  • moonriver said on Mar 08, 2007....
    ginger -- scream your name? where? when...? was my voice that loud? sorry... lol. some ringtones that compete for attention at an office where i'm a volunteer right now: cricket sounds (makes me sleepy); baby's laughter (cute but very distracting in an office setting); the first lines of a famous speech (inspiring); the cell owner's name being screamed out by a girl in the throes of bedroom mazurka (hmmm...) i'll stick to bach anytime :-)

  • D6fer said on Mar 08, 2007....
    I recorded my wife saying "when are you coming home?" Sometimes I set that for the ringtone for when she calls me.
  • Cagney said on Mar 09, 2007....
    My cell phone is a pretty basic one.  I don't even know if I can have different ringtones.  I just want to be able to make and receive calls.  Other than that I use it for the alarm and to tell time.  Right now it just has one of the ringtones that came with the phone.

    I really want the theme song for Cagney and Lacey but I can't find one that will work on my phone.  I am totally new to this whole thing so I didn't know there were different kids and what not.

    I am saving up to buy a new phone so I can get that ringtone.  that is the only ringtone that I want, so I don't think I would ever bother with having different ones for different people.
  • gingersoul said on Mar 09, 2007....

    D6..........thats really cute......instead of some hollywood bimbo recording the message you chose your wife.....kudos for you!......:-)

    *unless your wife didnt force you in that threathning to kill you with your cell*....LOL...

    Cagney......talking about knowing exactly what you want... lol...

    that music must be somewhere....in some tv shows soundtrack collection, maybe....it was very popular show...you might write to some of their fan website....

    good luck...:-)

    Psst: do you even look like Cagney?.....:-)

  • rmuxagirl said on Mar 09, 2007....
    For unrestricted calls it's "Hallejuah", restricted I think it's something from Mozart, and for certain friends a certain ringer to fit them.  I don't use it for much other then calling, texting, time, and tip calc.
  • gingersoul said on Mar 09, 2007....

    Rmuxa.....hi girl...so long i dont read you.. How are you doing?....:-)

    Oh, finally another one who is using the tip calculator...lol.. i was feeling so dumb...;-0

    Good music choices.....

  • mousenphonic said on Mar 09, 2007....
    okay, mines a bit corny....for a general ring I have the Harry Potter theme. When my hubby phones it's the Armageddon theme, when the office phones I have the Mission Impossible theme and when a family member phones I have the Adams Family theme.....yes, I know, I'm a sucker for theme songs, but it just says so much more!!!! <*ms
  • gingersoul said on Mar 10, 2007....

    LOL....Mouse....i love your ringtone........and i like the music you assigned to your people too...

    The music for your office is hilarious....lol...

    And the Adams family's ringtone  is a touch of genious .......good job!

  • FaithfulDisciple said on Mar 11, 2007....
    Personalized ringtones are a great way to differentiate your phone's ringer from the crowd.  But it's also a great way to annoy everyone in the crowd when it doesn't stop playing, continuously calling unnecessary attention to it during Masses, movies, and public forums.

    My observation is that people are more forgiving for a disruptive phone with a standard rigner than one with a personalized ringer since people have different individual taste for what sounds cute and bothersome to them.

    So in that aspect, I just use a generic loud ringer that can be heard from wherever the phone is placed within pocket or briefcase.
  • gingersoul said on Mar 11, 2007....

    Faithful.....you point out an interesting thing...and you surely hit the target...i noticed that same reaction in me too...if someone lets their cell ringing during any public event during which it would have been more than polite to shut if off (movies, religious events, library, conferences, you name it) i do  tend to be more understanding toward people who has standard ringtone

    i think i might associate automaticall a personalized ringtone with an attention needer person at that very moment and it irritates me more....while in any other moment i dont think in that way...

     

    good observation...thank you.:-)

  • Bronx said on Mar 11, 2007....
    Did I tell you about an embarrassing ring tone moment?

    Well, it was my first day in court - I was suing a company for owing me - and it was after my Nokia phone was stolen and I replaced it with a Samsung equivalent.

    The Court Clerk did his standard soliloquy ...switch off your cell phones, no noise, etc.

    I obeyed and brought out my phone and switched it off.

    Boy, did the Bailiff head my way: the Samsung was a screamer, unlike the Nokia!

    I was lucky to have escaped with a mild caution - because I had been obeying orders from the court. Whew!
  • gingersoul said on Mar 11, 2007....

    Bronx...oh you must have a cell with my same damn  switching off sound....horrible....lol...

    So you did get a caution for your cell? that's so unfair......:-) 

  • Bronx said on Mar 12, 2007....
    So loud, it was....ti-rin-rin-ti-rin-rin-ti-rin...

    Oh, believe me, Ginger, I was very happy with the caution - the alternative may have seen me and / or the cell phone in different cells or something.

    Thanks for caring though, Ginger.

  • gingersoul said on Mar 12, 2007....

    Good....better miserable but  together than happy but divided ..... glad you and your screaming cell have been able to stick together....:-0

  • Tappa said on Mar 13, 2007....

    Cell phone tones I've heard around - and I want'em!:

    The five notes from Close Encounters of theThird Kind

    Th opening bars of the Maxwell Smart Show theme

    Opening bars of Bach's Toccata and Fugue (in D?)

    What I have is "Crazy Frog"; and my phone is for calls, txts, pics - and the To Do for appointments in the Organiser. Incoming TXTS play SMS in Morse code

  • silverwhisper said on Mar 14, 2007....
    tappa: oo, that close encounters one would be great--i could use it for my boss! :D

    ed
  • gingersoul said on Mar 14, 2007....

    Tappa.......i like the alien song too...LOL...

    But Bach is hard to beat though ....and which one is Crazy Fog?  

    SW...oh, yes....i can imagine any boss's reaction to that kind of ringtone...pretty imposive ..lol....

  • silverwhisper said on Mar 14, 2007....
    true, but if he's calling it, he'll never hear it, you know? :D

    ed
  • gingersoul said on Mar 14, 2007....
    SW.... you are right...... duh....i though you wanted use for uyou......:-)
  • Bronx said on Mar 15, 2007....
    Well, Ginger, I've got two other ones that are less noisy. The call rates are better, too. Ciao.
  • gingersoul said on Mar 15, 2007....
    Bronx....LOL...are you working as telephone provider now?....ciao....
  • Bronx said on Mar 16, 2007....
    Ginger, ha ha - no, not really. Ciao.
  • confuzzledwife said on Oct 01, 2007....

    a couple of months ago I decided to download a ringtone- I always used what was in my phone and was content with that.  But I wanted something different for no good reason- there were so many choices, I was surprised.  So I downloaded a few and use them according to my mood that particular day.

    1. Under Pressure- David Bowie

    2. Crazy Bitch - BuckCherry

    3. Kiss The Girl - from The Little Mermaid lol

    and 4. Irreplaceable - Beyonce

     

    Honestly I don't use my cell often but keep it on me whenever I go out just in case the school calls for one of the kids- other than that, I, too, use it for a watch :) lol

  • gingersoul said on Oct 01, 2007....

    Confuz.....great choices...especially Bowie and  Beyonce'.....

    yes, the cell had definetely taken the place of my watch too...its almost two years that i broke it and i never bought a new one..why wasting money?...;-0
