MarkRaby Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I've got about 6 or 7 different Christmas ringtones on my cell phone. I always change all of my ringtones (i.e. different tones for different people calling me) around Thanksgiving or so to stuff like Jingle Bell Rock and Winter Wonderland. That way every time I get a call, I'm put back into (or kept in) the Christmas spirit! -Mark-
MarkRaby Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 Nope, my ringtones are loud and generic.Aw, come on. You are just like my dad --- you old people just don't get in to the customizable ringtone craze. -Mark-
outnumbered Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 My phone sounds like a phone when it rings. That way I always know it's got to be mine ringing.
mjmcca Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I have some Disney tones I D/L. I don't think there are any Christmas ones preloaded on my phone now ( new phone this summer). Hubby pays the cell phone bill and had a cow over the charges for the ring tone so i don't know if i am gonna D/L any Christmas ones. I would like to though.
MarkRaby Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 My phone sounds like a phone when it rings. That way I always know it's got to be mine ringing. LOL. Good point . Last year, I got my parents a new landline phone (old one was an extremely basic $15 buy from a previous BF), that had a bunch of cool ringtones installed on it, and no matter how much I tried to convince them otherwise, they just went with "Ring #1", the traditional, boring, so 20th century ringer. I can't be the only person who is such a ringtone fanatic. -Mark-
RossMAN Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 My phone is used as a communication device. When someone calls, it RINGS, it doesn't recite a haiku or the newest Madonna song. :)

I would like to though.Well, last year, with the McDonald's Monopoly game, I won about 40 free ringtones, and I won about 20-something this year. So my cell phone is kind of like a MIDI jukebox now . I always have something at the ready when I want to change my ringtones. -Mark-
outnumbered Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 The ringtones don't even sound much like the songs they're supposed to be. I'd rather hear the song on the radio and just focus on the phone call.

When someone calls, it RINGS, it doesn't recite a haiku or the newest Madonna song. :)Ross, you need to learn that phones are no longer just communication devices . On my phone, I've got an MP3 player, a video player, a ton of different applications (like a news/RSS feed receiver and a shopping list program), a bunch of games, and of course all those ringtones. It's funny how little I actually use my phone for making/taking calls in comparison to all the other things I use it for. -Mark-
RossMAN Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Mark, Did you just challenge my geek factor? Oh no you didn't!
MarkRaby Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 Mark, Did you just challenge my geek factor? Oh no you didn't! Ross, you may be geekier than me on every other aspect of life, but when it comes to cell phones, you've got nothin' on me . That, and the fact that I probably have more digits of Pi memorized than you do -Mark-

MarkRaby Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 3.14 beat that!. Actually, in order to win a bet in 7th grade (my friends and I had a pool to see who could memorize the most digits of Pi -- yeah, I was in the popular crowd in middle school), I memorized about 75 digits. I can now only recite about 60, but it still makes a fun conversation starter. -Mark-
outnumbered Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 but it still makes a fun conversation starter. -Mark-LMAO...I have never in my life had a fun conversation start with a string of digits of pi.
MarkRaby Posted October 29, 2005 Author Posted October 29, 2005 LMAO...I have never in my life had a fun conversation start with a string of digits of pi. Then you're not hanging around the right kind of people -Mark-
mugs Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Nope... I never change mind. It sounds like - get this - a phone ringing! If you memorize pi to 1000 digits, there are clubs you can join.
JonathanM Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 considering that I don't have a ringtone set on my phone as its always set to vibrate, no
jamesave Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 i just want a phone that can make good calls wherever I am. don't care too much about ringtones. it's good idea if you assign a ringtone to a certain number so you can either avoid or answer quickly. hovewer, I may not realize that my phone is ringing since the tone is always different.. lol.
Kandy Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I change mine to christmas ring... but I dont change the custom ring tones
mugs Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I have Carol of The Bells for Xmas and Law and Order for nowOooh, two good choices!
mrn8 Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I have not. However, since my newer phone has an MP3 player on it, I could put something from Trans-Siberian Orchestra on it. Right now it's and MP3 clip of Always With You - Joe Satriani.
StephanieD Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I do! Christmas is really the only time I change my ringtones. I love Christmas so much that I try to fit something Christmassy everywhere I can during the Christmas season.
Keebelf Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 my phone never rings :cry seriously, I have the Nextel but it doesn't have any call-out minutes and it is only used to Direct Connect to Chris. We have the Verizon which is for family and I have Flight of the Bumblebees for Chris and Mom if they ever call. Aunt and BIL have their own rings as well but they never call so..... Chris set his Nextel to have my ring-tone (Ramba or Samba or something liek that) for whenever the housephone calls his Nextel, that way he KNOWS without a doubt that it is me and not anyone else.
Marcster Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 I can't be the only person who is such a ringtone fanatic. -Mark-I dunno. I bought my wife the RAZR and I bought Mobile Phone Tools off of eBay. Made up a few ringtones and added them to her phone. Even had a lil' romantic one for when I call... She had me set it all back to the silly "Cingular" ringtone. No, when the phone I want is released (SE w600i)... Then everone will have a different ring!
Guest DigDoug Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Nope, not really. I'll add some ringtones as soon as I can hack my phone to do it. I'm not paying $3.99 for a new ringtone or whatever it costs.

In the long run, it's cheaper to buy the transfer kit, make them yourself, and upload them to your phone.
