what ringtone are you using right now? & is it embarrasing?

I was just talking to someone about this the other day. I never really got the idea of ring-tones. I found that when I use to have one, it was awkward to have a random snippet of a song go off out in public. I've kept my phone on vibrate for a long while now and hear it just fine. I'm kind of an odd duck when it comes to these things though. I just got a cel phone about 3 years ago and I have no interest in a smart phone or a touch screen. I also rarely answer my phone when I'm out in public unless my son is not with me and who ever is watching him calls me. I know a lot of people that have to have the latest and greatest but I kind of only have it as a necessity. I actually still have a rotary phone hooked at home!

dam man it's cool though, I know a couple of guys like that

Classic phone bell. I had the Batman '66 theme up until I got a new one.

I'm w/ you. I'd love to have a rotary phone, if it weren't for all that dumb automated stuff. I don't need the latest and greatest either. My phone is a pay as you go TracFone. I have 457 minutes on it, and it just keeps accumulating, b/c I hardly use it.

I customized mine and it's awesome. I should put it in the iTunes store!

I'll email it to you and you can see for yourself.

I used to use the Batphone ring/beep but everyone (including dogs) always thought it was some alarm going off...the looks I would get....

I have a great ring tone story. I am doing a photo shoot in Jersey at a flooring store's grand opening. Armstrong Flooring is one of our clients. I am standing at the front of the crowd with my camera and the president of the new store, a big-wig from Armstrong and the mayor of the city are standing in front of me to cut the ribbon. The mayor has the huge scissors at the ribbon and is just about to cut it when one of my coworkers calls me for something stupid and my phone goes off. It's pretty quiet and all of the sudden the Halloween theme goes off! Everyone is looking around trying to determine where it's coming from (including me, playing dumb) and somebody comments that they hope this isn't an omen. I could have strangled my coworker and thankfully I didn't see him till the next day or I might have.

Cooooool! Where'd you get it from and will it work on an iPhone?

I got mine from an app called ZEDGE for my Droid phone. It's also available on the BBC Who website.

We have a rotary wall phone in our kitchen. There was an old jack there, and when I painted & remodeled a bit, I decided to put in the old phone instead of tear out the jack. I found a brown one at a yard sale for $2.00 in like new condition and it works great. Yes, you can't use it for calling just about ANY BUSINESS, as they all use that stupid menu selection instead of just answering.

Semi-funny thing- my daughter knew how to dial as my mom still has a rotary phone at her house. But twice now she had friends over to play, and neither kid could figure out how to operate the phone. I thought one girl was going to cry, she just stared at it. I realize that most kids have never seen or used a dial phone- not even a toy version like the Fisher-Price one- but you would think it's not hard to figure it out, right? Scary world we're living in sometimes- tech isn't always a good thing if it robs you of common sense.

Old phone-the intro to "Immigrant Song" by Led Zep.
New phone- the "sci-fi" one that comes with the iPhone. (but only for my wife).

I have been using Star Wars' Imperial March for the last five years.

That's the ringtone I have when my Mother-in-Law calls

[kingdom warrior]

I have Mission Impossible......when it rings, I tell people I have to take this call before it self destructs......

[WannabeMego]

By any chance does anyone know how to load a ringtone on this Cell Phone...?



...seems like we've come a long way.

Thank You Star Trek

Geeks RULE!!!

Mine is Blarney's Stones or the phone sound in "Our Man Flint".

For the wife's texts (which is basically how I communicate with her, even at home) it's the Bionic Man sound. A co worker liked it so much, he uses it now too, which leads to hilarity.

I have multiple ringtones. Pretty much different ones for different people.

The generic ringtone I have is American Dad's Stelio Kontos song.

My husband's tone is KISS: I was made for loving you

My dad's tone is Sanford & Son

My sister's tone is Benny Hill

My work's tone is Hawaii 5-0

Texts ring as R2D2's beeps
