My cell phone plays revelie. It gets my attention as "ANSWER NOW" . I use it alot cause most phone rings that people choose sound like elevator music.
Theres usually a little syncopated beat and a bunch of electronic tunes that just get louder till the table full of teachers nearest me , realize
"OHHH, tee hee, is that my phone?"
meanwhile the earworm of that stupid sound is embedded deeply in my skull and is already having larvae.
SO, I heard a custom ring the other day and wondered whether anybody has any good ones theyve heard. The one I heard was
A RING OF AN OLD FASHIONED TELEPHONE
you know, just rinnnnnng-rinnnnng. I thought that was tres cool
Any other phone rings worthy of downloading and capturing?
I had the "Ode to joy" for a while but I found myself just letting it ring longer cause I,ike the tune.

Likewise.
About a year or so ago I changed to "Hava Nagila" (my F-I-L's cancer had returned, and he found his religion -- Orthodox Judaism -- as a result, so I did so as a small tribute).
Plus I like the words -- even though I don't know most of them.
I'm an absolute rebel.
Mine rings, like a phone.
Mine too. I wouldn't like to have music blasting
from my cell phone, as it mostly rings at unappropriate
times anyway
I like the ones that sound like a real telephone. That makes sense. Mine sounds like a train -- a "woo-ooo-woo" whistle & chugging -- it's corny.
A while back I'd gone to town to pick up a new phone. It rang while I was on the longish drive home, but the ringer (unbeknownst to me) was some very cool jazz.
I naturally thought it was the radio & tried to turn it up.
The radio wasn't even on! Was I going nuts? Was I receiving radio signals in my teeth fillings? Then the music stopped. This was even more alarming. Was this a UFO just above my head?? I was totally freaked for about 30 seconds. Luckily, the phone rang again & my brain finally registered what it was.

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls....
Ok, ok, I admit - I have 'Feel' by Robbie Williams as my ringtone at the moment. And yes, from time to time, I think 'Oh, somebody's playing Robbie Williams...' until it gets really loud and I realize it's my phone.
My phone also has a very nice ringtone. It's a female voice singing the words 'ring ring ring - ring ring ring - riiiiiiiiiing riiing ring ring ring'.
Ive got A RING OF AN OLD FASHIONED TELEPHONE since a couple of months/years.
<Robbie Williams must be an Ursula-defect>
I LOVE Robbie Williams! :-)
Both Ursula's can sit here then (in May) and e.g. watch the dvd's, while the others are doing something more serious.
Yes, yes!!!!! My favourite DVD for cleaning - What we did last summer - RW live at Knebworth!!! In Dolby Surround!
WAlter, Im such a Luddite> I first heard that "Old Fashioned" phone ring on a cell phone the other day. It made me smileby reminding me of the huge black dial phone we had as a kid . This had a ring tone like a school bell and I thought that "THIS IS ONE < I MUST HAVE".
Im on verizon, Ill have to check to see whether theres a web site with some downloadable ring tones.
A train whistle would be cool too.
Youve gotta agree that most of the muusic on the cells is really sappy.
or maybe a mules bray. Hey, I think I have the most sponsored links in any communication to date
I thought nearly the same as you did, farmerman, and downloaded it at once. (I really would like the fog horn of a ship as ringtone
)
I'm with Phoenix, I want a sub-woofer sound on my cell phone, or, surround sound.
Am I being picky?
paulaj- No, you are not being picky. The new cellphones do everything but cook dinner. I think that a good, tight, low end is not too much to ask!
Ooooh. A FOG HORN... cool, Walter.
Howabout a deep voice like LURCH, saying
"Answer the phone"
Farmer, I've pictured you to have a deep voice (lol) Not Lurch-deep, but somewhat deep, it must be your avatar.
