What's your cell phone ringtone?

[adrian]

Since almost all of the cellphones people buy have MP3 capability (or atleast can use a ringtone from the computer) what does your phone ringtone sound like?

Either my Motorola v300 (got it a few weeks ago) has Weird Al Yankovic's "Ebay" (parody of The Backstreet boy's "I want it that way") or "Bad Boys".

Audioslave's "Cochise" for most calls and Black Eyed Peas "Let's Get Retarded" for my husband.

For most of my friends, it's Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2," but for my family it's Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water." For a select few, it's Queen's "Fat-Bottomed Girls."

Mama's and My cell phone rings the conventional "ring,ring". The other sounds would throw us off. I'll stick to old school.

Re: What's your cell phone ringtone?

My phone's almost always in silent mode, so the "ring" is basically a buzzing sound. Hey, in a tiny office, it's pretty loud!

When it's on, it's the stock Treo ringer. Basic tones, but recognizable to anyone else who has one. How geeky!

Re: What's your cell phone ringtone?

I don't use downloadable tones. I have a low-end Nokia and I usually keep it on vibrate. When I do have it on an audible tone, it's the "Nokia tune".

Now, if only my desk phone at work could use downloadable tones. All our phones in the office sound alike, so when somebody's phone rings, sometimes it's a mad scramble to our desks to check whose it is. It'd be much more convenient if my phone ring tone was customized: Glen. Call for you, Glen.

Hysterical

Mine is Billy Idols White Wedding. It's a snappy tune and easy to dance to. I give it a 6.

I'm trying to find the ringtone for the Whitehouse hotline effect that Perry and Price uses.

In the meantime it's just that sleazy jazz tone on my SamSung camera phone that my friends tell me sounds like porno background music...ummm how do they know that?

Re: What's your cell phone ringtone?

Mine says (in a spoken voice) "Pimp. Pimp phone. Pimp phone ringing. Ringing pimp phone"

Cracks me up every time.

Hawaiian Telcom, in partnership with Mountain Apple, is now offering Hawaiian music ringtones for subscribers. According to the Star-Bulletin piece, these are the top ten tones:

1. Rap Reiplinger, "Japanese Roll Call"
2. Sean Na'auao, "Fish & Poi"
3. Brothers Cazimero, "Ku'uipo i ka He'e Pueone"
4. Hawaiian Style Band, "Love & Honesty"
5. Rap Reiplinger, "Room Service"
6. Hawaiian Style Band, "Happy 2 B With U"
7. Hawaiian Style Band, "Live a Little"
8. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, "Hawai'i '78"
9. Rap Reiplinger, "Haikus"
10. Brothers Cazimero, "My Sweet Pikake Lei"

Ringtones are big business. The "Top Ten" charts for these fragments of songs are watched almost as closely as conventional music sales charts in some markets.

My phone's almost always in silent mode, so the "ring" is basically a buzzing sound.

Same here, though when it is on an audible tone, it's the old five-note sequence from "Close Encounters." Hey, it's an old phone, and I don't use it much - I like being relatively inaccessible when away from home or work.
