I am only writing this thread cos some lout has left his phone on his desk and the bozo phoning him fails to understand that voicemail is generally indicitive of absenteeism.

I, of course, am rewarded with repeated strains of the chorus of "sweet child o' mine" by Guns n' Roses.

What ringtone do you have on your cell and which really boil your carrots?

I have a p.o.s. Alcatel in need of replacement and just use Vibracall. I usually pick it up before the corny bleep-bleep begins.
 
I d/l ringtones like Dr Dre - Snoop - Airwolf is a good one, the A-Team and stuff like that. Ive got Ericsson T610 with Poly tones and it does sound quite good.
but I always have it on silent - vibrate. Its annoys me when a mobile just rings, let alone one left for ages with an annoying tone. So mine is never on loud so there was no point in getting the ring tones !! Winner !

I have that on my 7250, i'm trying to convert a midi files to use as a ringtone. Either Tool - 46&2 or Deftones - Shove it. But it never seems to work. On my old phone I had a Bad Religion ringtone, I mean nobody had that.

Mike: Great choice of ring tone mate 👍


:D

Vibracall is nice, except when it vibrates on a table and makes it sound like there is a formation of bomber flying overhead.
 
:lol:

One of the guys I work with placed his phone, standing up, on a 5c piece and had another guy ring it, looked like it was on a turntable :D
 
I have Rob D "Clubbed to Death" on my personal phone, and "side step" (one of the built in ringtones) on my work phone.

People who leave their phones unattended at work near me tend to return to find their phone has been switched off.

Haha. *mental note: Get coin*

I like Giles' attitude, unfortunately for me, the GnR lout referred to above is a Director :grumpy: . May not be a good career move 👎

oooh !! Even Leeds eh !! well Im not a big footie fan so its OK to have a dig at Leeds.
 
My phone has the "hot woman walking by" whistle. No one else can have it, because i'm so cool like that.
 
I have "Chrome Wave" on mine... I purposely set out to find the least annoying ringtone on my phone, and that was it (I can't really describe it, except that it's not high-pitched in any way). Normally, I keep my phone in Silent Mode anyway, so it doesn't even really matter.

Anything really high-pitched and fast annoys me.
 
The 'Nokia Tune' ringtone is the most irritating sound ever created my Man.

I have 'Nothing but You' by Paul Van Dyk as the tone for people on my contacts and 'Do-Mi-So' for all other calls.
 
I have a Nokia 5165 so yea I really hate that Nokia ringtone. So I got Nirvana Come As You Are as my ringtone. :D :D :D :D
 
I have a Nokia 7210 with Tupac - Changes as my ringtone and Bouganville as my message tone.

Anybody know any free polyphonic ringtone sites?
