What's song does your cellphone ring to?

Hi All-

As a courtesy to others, I have normal ring tones coupled with the vibrate feature. I use the silent "etiquette mode" in theaters and at meetings and always aim to answer it (or send directly to voicemail) within two rings, no matter what.

Cellular telephones are convenient, but they're also intrusions. Those tones pretending to be "music" can drive fellow commuters on the train, airplane, or bus over the edge, so I don't utilize them on my cellular.

If I get a cell that allows this I want the wailing int the beginning of the Immigrant Song by Led Zepplin.


It would make an awesome horn sound too.

When I first got a cell phone, I tried out all of the ringtones at home, saying "hey, cool!" The first time the damn thing rang on me in public and played a tune, I thought it was the most asinine, embarassing thing I'd ever heard, and I immediately changed it back to a standard ring. Now I think it's asinine and embarassing when other people's phones play silly little tunes in public. And even worse is my sister-in-law's phone, which speaks instead of ringing, saying "So-and-so is calling you."
 
i despise gaudy ringtones.

one beep is acceptable. vibrating preferred.
 
Edna currently answers my calls (The character "Edna Mode" from the "Incredibles") with: "Someone is calling you, dahling."

"Orpheus in the Underworld" is by Jacques Offenbach.

You can hear a verrry slow version of it, which was meant as a parody/joke, in Camille Saint-Saens' "Carnival of the Animals" as "Tortoises".

No fancy-shmancy noises here, just a quiet beep and vibrate.
 
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one that really, really hates pseudo-musical ringers. It's a phone, it should sound like a phone.

Ringing during a movie is bad enough... but when it's playing music it's ten times worse.

I was at the local symphony's performance last month and someone sitting in front of me was text messaging, with the key volume way up, through the entire first movement of Mendelssohn's violin concerto. I wanted to lift my leg and smash my Bates Enforcers into the back of her skull. She finally stopped... but half an hour later during another piece, her phone starts ringing and she carries on a conversation. NO ONE around but myself and the girl I was with seemed to be the least bit annoyed by it. When she squealed with laughter, I leaned down and said "you need to shut the f*ck up, now."

I also sat through The Last Samaurai with someone text messaging through msot of the movie, again without having the courtesy to turn the key volume off.

I've vowed to take my airsoft pistol with me next time and anyone who's within range talking on their cell phone will be shot. Maybe the nasty welt that it leaves will be a reminder to them not to be rude in the future.
 
I HATE "catchy" tunes on phones. In fact hate is too pale and insipid a word to describe my feelings for these annoying affectations.

I wouldn't mind if they stuck plug in their ear and had the poxy noise come out there but when people have their phone volume turned up to 5000000 decibels so everyone in the entire state gets to hear whatever crappy tune they have chosen I can feel my hair start to stand on end as the kill or be killed reflex starts to ramp up.

Ahhh.. I feel a little better after that little rant. Thank you for letting me share it.
 
I'm with Gaj. I HATE ringtones. THat said, I have the Austin Powers theme on mine. But I turned it off long ago and have it permanently set on vibrate.
 
I'd have the theme from the original "The Avengers" or "The Saint" if I could. My mobile's ringtone sounds like London's Big Ben. As an Anglophile, that's good enough for me.

I think it's funny that so many people hate the musical ring tones. After years and years of listening to phones ring on the job, I got to the point I hate to hear it ... ringgg ringgg .. ringgg ringgg .. STFU !!! At least with my cell and its different music for everyone, I hardly ever hear the same sound twice in a row, and I keep it so low, that if it didn't vibrate, too, I'd miss some calls.
 
Hi All-

It's the ringing at the beach, on the ski lift, at the theater, in the restaurants, that makes it especially maddening. I pray that they don't create technology that supports "hand-offs" that allows people to use cellular telephones while flying at 500 m.p.h. across the country. An airplane cabin is one of the last places to find true peace from those infernal ringtones.

I have trouble hearing everything on my phone but one ringtone, and it's the one I now use. It's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" by Mozart.
 
Let me first say that I can't stand musical ringtones. Cell phones in general have become a miserable blight on modern society. Ringtones in particular are a virulent strain of that blight. That being said, I'd like to get ring tone of the start of the Door's Light My Fire. That, or the theme song to the Munsters TV show.
 
I haven't actually gotten around to adding one to the phone I have now. But a friend of mine has one that gets me every time. It starts off with a giggle then goes to a insane laff. The kind of laff you would expect to hear in a mental hospital. When ever I hear it, I just gatta laff too. :D
