What's Your Ringtone?

[BigDeadMushy]

Rockin the Suburbs-Ben Folds Five.
except they were talented.

 

[Sampler]

the most awesome ringtone ever:

Spoiler

found it whilst looking for a quality version of the portal muzak the radio's play, decided it was much better

 

[Pulviriza]

My phone is screwing up, so right now it's just the Nokia tune (luckily the amount of times I get called is an average of around 0.03 per day) but once I can access my gallery, I plan to change it to this:

 

[Assassin Xaero]

"Otherworld" from Final Fantasy X

 

[Henkie36]

The best part of the ''You're a Soldier Now'' from the Transformers soundtrack.

 

[Gender Unknown]

I don't even have a mobile anymore. No one needs me so bad they gotta call anyway, lol.

[sup]*Lonely face*[/sup]

 

[Debirufisshu]

The bear song by green jelly. Heard it on a Shell advert and decided that i MUST have it.

 

[William MacKay]

iron man (intro) by Black Sabbath for calls. iPhone standard for texts. normally have it on vibrate for school.

 

[foxlovingfreak]

For calls the music for hydrocity act 2 from sonic the hedgehog 3
For texts I have that sound thar perry the platypuss makes in phienas and ferb

 

[tahrey]

Sounds a bit like this though as my aunt has recently been to an antiques shop and bought an oldskool rotary and hooked it up, I may record the sound THAT makes - because none of the default "bell ring" tones do it UK style (ring-ring.... ring-ring) rather than US/European (Riiiiiiiiiiing.... Riiiiiiiiiiing....) and the classic style is becoming slightly too common. There's like two other people in my office alone using it.

May actually have to start making my own ringtones again. Used to do it quite a lot but I receive precious few actual calls these days, and going through the whole process is too much bother for 20-ish seconds of muzak that I might hear a couple times a day on average - and will never hear in full unless I'm intentionally leaving it to go to answerphone without the obvious truncated ring that telegraphs to the caller that I've hit "divert" on purpose.

Funny really, given how much time I used to sink into figuring out how to cram certain favourite melodies into the space and tone range allowed by the old Nokia Composer (remember that?). Maybe because it's just not special any more. Having something unique like a pitch perfect rendition of Billie Jean, Engel, Du Hast, Good Times or Brief History Of Time coming out in blaring squarewave was a touch unusual, a bit exciting when most people could only have ble-lee-lee-lee-leep, or the nokia melody, or one of a few other preset bits of awfulness. Now I just drop the MP3 on the phone, maybe define a position to play from (or spend some time carefully chopping it up in a wave editor then save a custom version), and the actual song is there in all its glory. But everyone can do it. And so it gets boring and annoying. Just make it blare like a telephone, please, and save the music for when i'm using it as a personal stereo.

EDIT: I wonder ... i'm pretty sure I have all those old composer riffs saved somewhere, after transferring them through upgrade after upgrade until I had a phone that could interface with the PC. Can Androids play Nokia Composer files?

 

[LikeDustInTheWind]

I technically have 4, 2 for normal and 2 for loud.

Normal ringing: Science Is Fun from Portal 2 (Thanks for the download Valve!)
Normal text: Navi's "Hey! Listen!"
Loud ringing: FF7 Victory Theme
Loud text: Zelda "Item Get" sound

 

[HiWayXingFrog]

At the moment:

But I'm thinking about changing it:

 

[iphonerose]

plug in baby by muse:

or grounds for divorce by elbow:

one is my ring tone and one is my alarm, i cant remember which

 

[Tyzamar]

I have the final fantasy 8 victory fanfare...like the ringtone tifa has in advent children.

 

[dragonslayer32]

Calls = 'One week' by Barenaked Ladies
Texts = 'If you want blood' by AC/DC

 

[fishy009er]

Mine is the noise that Solid Snake's codec makes when he gets a call from the Metal Gear Solid series. I love answering with "Colonel!?"

 

[Eisenfaust]

mines totally not the ZP intro theme...

*shifty eyes*

 

[Goofguy]

My ringtone is the same one Chev Chelios has in Crank. Not a very original ringtone but still very sweet.

 

[David_G]

Defenestration by Cryptopsy. The bass line at the beginning is really awesome.

 

[TheDarkestDerp]

Default rings are just some manner of standard beepy-thing. For everybody I give a hoot to hear from I have separate tones.

My beau gets Lifehouse "Hanging by a Moment".
Student Loan office gets Lily Allen "Fuck You"

You get the general idea...
