View Full Version : What's your ringtone?
Mine is Because of You by Kelly Clarkson but I am starting to get annoyed by it. I am going to switch it to a holiday ring. What's yours?

Mine is regular ringing b/c I don't actually answer the phone if it's any type of song. Last xmas I had "Jingle Bells" and I would just start singing along anytime it would ring and I would forget it was my phone. :p

The Price Is Right theme. It's cute the first 15 times to "come on down" but when you're getting a lot of calls, it's really obnoxious.
The other one I've switched it off with is Super Mario Brothers theme.
I'm thinking of getting the SATC theme. Not as grating as TPIR

i have tones of them.
currently
unknown calls- Trees-marty casey
my husband- This love
my parents- throne room from star wars
my ILS- something wicked this way comes
my closest friend - get the part started
my neighbor- smack my bitch up
all other friends - safety dance
everyone else - milkshake
holiday ringtone - rudolph the red nose reindeer (my husband's favorite)
but I have over a hundred songs on my phone (along with actualy ringtones), so i switch my ringtone every week.
I'm thinking of getting the SATC theme.
I had that one for a while. It's fun.

"Lady Madonna" for Mom and other immediate family

Ooo, thanks for the reminder to change my tone to Frosty! I almost forgot!
I have "Ob-la-di, ob-la-da" as my generic (non-address book) ringtone, most others have an actually loud ring because I have trouble hearing songs.
mrs_pell
12-08-2005, 04:54 PM
The SATC theme. Mark gets REALLY annoyed when it rings because 1) he hates the show :eek: , and 2)I never answer it till it's almost over because I'm humming along with it and "dancing" the phone. :o

Thanks! I could have looked at that one all day today and not gotten it. Maybe tonight when I turned it on it would have dawned on me... :D
Depending on the phone, you can get a data cable (or use IR ports if you have them) and software to make your own ringtones.
Currently I'm rotating a bunch of 80s and classical pieces, but I just did up "All Star" and am going to do "Walking on the Sun" and "Time Warp" tomorrow.
I own a little digital recorder for work, so I'm going to record my kid singing "Happy Birthday" and sneak it onto my mom's phone when I add the other tones I've built for her (we both have motorla V-series so I'll just plug her in).

12-08-2005, 05:42 PM
Mine is a real trax ring tune-"Hollaback Girl."
My old ring tone was "Like a Virgin."
I used to have the Itchy and Scratchy theme song as my ringtone, but we changed cell carriers and I haven't gotten the energy/time to find it again.

I just changed mine to Here comes Santa Claus by The Chipmunks.

MAN my cell phone company does not have the PIR theme song. I was all excited about it. :(
Actually, my phone has Bluetooth and I had the mp3 of the theme. I used an audio editor to clip the song and then put the mp3 on my phone via the Bluetooth connection.
Trust me when I say it's only funny and cute the first 15 times. Then it gets really.really.annoying.

I had Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" for a long time and then switched to "The Eyes of Texas" for football season. I really wanted "Santa Baby" for the holidays, but now I am too superstitious to change my ringtong until after Jan. 4th. :rolleyes:
so sad, but I only have the select few that came with my phone. Richard has my cell tied into his and offhand I don't know the password to go in and change it. I'm out of contract soon, so when we switch, I'll be downloading baby! :cool:

My ringtone right now is Ciara's "Goodies". Any time my phone rings everyone always feels the need to start dancing. Its kind of amusing.
Some others I have "Sweet Home Alabama", "Ocean Avenue", "Redneck Woman", "Blister in the Sun", and something by Eminem I forget which one.

My current phone has no ringtones yet. I haven't gotten around to downloading any, unfortunately.
My old phone, which DH now uses, has Brass Monkey (Beastie Boys), Rock the Casbah (The Clash), Senorita (JT), Party Up (DMX), On Wisconsin, Regulate (Warren G), In Da Club (50 Cent)...and some others that I can't remember. It needed updating, I know that much, but DH seems to love it.
I had the 90210 theme song which I thought was SO cute and funny ... then one day my cell started ringing in my purse while I was in a packed elevator AT WORK. And I couldn't find my phone. And the 90210 theme kept going and going and going..........
Most embarassing fora 31 year old so called "Professional"!

Stricken - Disturbed
In the car, with my stereo blasting, I can't hear it! This is my first ringtone and I just put it on and the other day my phone was in my purse and ringing and I thought to myself "where is that music coming from?" :rolleyes:
My friend's phone, when you call him instead of ringing it says "Please enjoy the music" or something like that and then it plays "Battery" from Metallica - how cool is that?? I want to do it!

12-09-2005, 06:53 AM
Now I know why I can't find a "normal" ring tone for my phone - there's no demand for it! Personally, I don't like any kind of ring tone that doesn't sound like a phone ringing. Even the ones that come on my phone are too crazy for me. I just want "ring ring" :)

My current holiday ring tone is "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" from the Nutcracker. My ring for DH is "Casey Jones" (he's a huge Dead fan) but I also have:
90210 theme song (I'm too chicken to use it!)
Just Like Heaven (Cure)
Friday I'm in Love (Cure)
The Weight (The Band)
Dancing Queen (Abba)
Hey Jude (Beatles)
Come Away With Me (Norah Jones, our first dance song)
Here Comes the Bride (I LOVED using this before the wedding, everyone else thought it was obnoxious)
Wonderwall (Oasis)
I love getting new ring tones! I'm getting a new phone next week, so I guess the fun will begin all over again!

My phone plays "Dixie" because I miss Alabama so. I once got "Yankee Doodle" for my Yankee husband, but he's a converted Southerner now, so his plays "Sweet Home, Alabama." It would appear that the South is rising again! :D

For my dh it is "I Want Your Sex" by George Michael
For my close friends it is "Outrageous" by Britney Spears
(Try holding a serious conversation with your boss as your cell phone is singing "I want your sex" repeatedly or it starts singing about your sex drive.)
For my mom it is Goofy saying "Phone's ringing. Come out Come out Wherever you are!"

I bought a used phone on eBay to replace my brand new one that drowned. It had a bunch of preloaded ringtones on it.
Primary ring: Sandstorm, a techno-dancy song. Sometimes I don't answer the phone right away and dance to it, to make DH laugh.
My ring for DH: You Sexy Thing on my old phone. This time it's Gigalo. Makes me laugh whenever I hear it.

I pay $1.99 per tone. I have Cingular and on my phone there is a "media mall" option that I choose and then my phone goes online and I can search tones from there.

my phone (samsung) has an actual "fun site" that lets you download wallpapers or ringtons and they will be sent to your phone.
I actually have internet access on my phone so I can just browse straight from my phone and download stuff from there.

I have a question for all of you with "special" ringtones: do you pay to download them? Or pay extra for a service that also includes the ability to download ringtones?
I'm just curious b/c my husband works in the cellphone industry, and he always makes fun of me saying that I'm "too old" to be in his company's target market b/c [their research shows] it's mostly kids who pay for extra ringtones, etc, etc. Really, I'm just wondering, plus I'm always looking for an opportunity to tell him he's wrong. ;)

I'm a bad person. I couldn't find Mahna Mahna anywhere except one website...and I couldn't seem to get it to download. I listened to the sample and decided it was long enough for a ringtone. So, I went to my temporary internet files and sent the file to my phone via email. Voila. I had Mahna Mahna.

For caller ID calls, it's the theme song from "Animaniacs."
For non-caller ID calls, it's the theme song from "Three's Company."
I downloaded both for free during the first month of my cell phone contract. I had a month of internet connection for free, so I downloaded a bunch of stuff and then canceled the internet before I had to start paying for it (I knew I'd never use it again).

I need a professional, but "hip" ringtone for work. Can anyone think of one?
I think the obvious choice is to go with something from Office Space. I recommend "Damn, It Feels Good to be a Gangsta."
I have the music to the Christmas song "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" (Its my favorite Christmas hymn).
I usuall have one that says (It's a person talking) 'Ring Ring your phone is ringing, your pocket is ringing, that means you need to answer it. How come when a phone rings everyone grabs for theirs. This is YOUR phone, answer your pocket.' I get some really weird looks for this one, but hey, I know it's mine!!!

Mine is regular ringing b/c I don't actually answer the phone if it's any type of song. Last xmas I had "Jingle Bells" and I would just start singing along anytime it would ring and I would forget it was my phone.
This is so me!! :p
My old phone had Indigo Girls "Closer to Fine" and I always would sing along with it or even worse I'd be listening to Indigo Girls in the car and I'd completely miss it. Now I have Third Day "Sing a Song". Once I didn't connect that my phone rang until a few minutes later I was humming the song and realized...hey that's my ringtone. Sure enough I had missed a call!

I just added "As If" by Sara Evans, but I'm not sure I like it as a ringtone.
It is almost time for my holiday ringtone, but I get enough funny looks for humming Christmas songs around my house or work, so I think I'll wait a little bit for the ringtone.

It cracks me up, but beyond that, for some reason it's much easier for me to hear than most of the music ringtones I've had.

Everyone else is the Sesame Street theme right now. Yes, with the little kids singing. I don't know how long that will last because it is kinda annoying for a ringtone even though I love Sesame Street
I just did a software upgrade on my phone and lost the ones I had set, it was Margaritaville for everyone except my brother and dh. DH was the Tiki Room song from Disney cause it just rocks.

Gimme More by Britney Spears :o:o
It's catchy what can i say. :cool:
I was debating Gimme More, but have so far decided that it's a bit embarrassing for my real life ringtone. lol.
A few years ago I had the 90210 theme song which I thought was just *SO* funny until my phone started ringing in an elevator jam packed with suits here at work. So jam packed that I couldn't get to my phone so I just stood there red as a beet as that song played on and on and people gave me that "No you DID NOT download that" look.
Another GREAT ringtone story ....
A few Saturdays ago our neighbors were out back drinking from 3ish in the afternoon on. My husband and I joined them at about 5ish. We remained out back drinking with them until about way too late-ish. Past history (and the polyphonic first few bars of Warren G's "Regulate") tells us that when I drink a few too many I tend to think it's HIL-arious to download random ringtones.
Fast forward to the following Monday.
I'm in "White House/Black Market" over during lunch perusing the sales to find a dress for an upcoming wedding. If you are not familliar, White House/Black Market is a very nice store. (http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com ) Where I normally could definitely not afford to shop if not for the sale. Actually I couldn't afford to shop 95% of the stuff on sale either. So a lot of the people working there and the people shopping there tend to be rather affluent and sometimes a bit on the snooty side. And then came me. I'm walking around trying to pretend that I'm looking at some of the things not on sale so I don't look too cheap when my phone starts "ringing". Only it's not ringing. It's talking. And it alllll comes rushing back to me.....
(Insert dreamlike flash back music)
.... sitting on the patio .... 23 beers into the night ... wouldn't it be SO SO funny to have a South Park ring assigned to my brother (who loves South Park) ...hahahah I found one! .....3 more beers and $2.50 later ...hahahah that Cartman is SO funny .... hmmm I think I made it my primary ringtone .... drink drink .....how do I make it so that it's assigned only to my brother ....OH there are brownies inside ...eat brownies....hmmmm what was I doing before brownies....go to sleep.
(Back to present day in White House/Black Market)
So there I am, $78 tank top in hand that I am SO not going to buy , and in my purse - on the HIGHEST volume - I hear ... freaking .... STAN:
STAN: So you see mom, all the kids in school are supposed to bring in a picture of their mom's breasts for anatomy class.
(at this point I drop to my knees on the floor with my big 'ol purse trying to find my phone. It continues)
CARTMAN (in a *fake* voice pretending to be Stan's mom!!!): I don't know son. That seems kind of odd. You cannot have a picture of my hot breasts.
(STILL can't find my phone!!!! People are staring at me as tho I just asked if they had any Bon Jovi t-shirts in stock.)
STAN: But moooom
CARTMAN (back to his own voice): No, no, do it like this "But M-ahhhhh-mmmmmmmm"
STAN: But Moooooo....
CARTMAN: NO - like this ""But M-ahhhhh-mmmmmmmm"
I FINALLY find my phone and answer completely cracking up. It's my husband.
Husband: What? What's so funny?
Me: Uhhhh apparently I downloaded a SouthPark ringtone on Saturday night and applied it as my main ringer and completely forgot about it until 2 minutes ago when Stan's voice started coming out of my purse!!
Husband: (total silence)
Same reaction as most of the ladies in the store. I was going to go into an explanation of how Stan only needed a picture of his mother's breasts to pay the sixth graders to protect him from Trent Boyett - a former preschool classmate who has been in juvenile hall for the past 5 years - and in the end didn't even ask her for it as he chose to take a picture of Cartman's butt photoshopped to look like breasts which TOTALLY tricked the 6th graders - But then I thought better of it.
Now my ringtone is just a plain old ring!!!! :)

lol, I love that Kgif!
I just have the basic rings in my phone. I do assign certain rings to certain people, mostly to alert me if it's my MIL calling and DD is near the phone. I can yell "DON'T OPEN IT" and know it's MIL I'm avoiding, and not someone I actually want to talk to.
My sister has assigned the theme from Psycho for her MIL.

I take that back (this thread made me realize it was time to change my ringtone 'cuz I've had it since June). Now I have the Monday Night Football Theme! WOO HOO! :D (My DH loves it too and now wants me to find him a good ringtone. :rolleyes:)

Kgif ROFL!! That is a hilarious story!! :D
Mine is "Rockstar" by Nickelback
****To clarify*****
"23 beers" was an exaggeration. Like when I say "I have a million things to do today". There were definitely a LOT of beers involved ... but not quite 23. Had it been 23 I'd STILL be recovering! LOL!!!!
