I hate custom ringtones

[Syringer]

I'd rant further, but I think it's straight forward as it is.

 

[us3rnotfound]

Agreed.

 

[Accipiter22]

OMFG I agree..I was saying this the other day.....who actually says "HEY I KNOW! I'll pay 2 dollars for a 12kbps 30 second loop of Fergalicious!!"


edit: I Mean REALLY what are you hoping?? Some other slack jawed douche of the opposite gender is going to have the same ****** song for a ring tone and you two will live happily ever after producing child after child missing chromosomes?

It's not just for coolness factor, it's so that you can easily identify the calls that you need to pick up, or ignore.

just use the 20 or so default rings that come with your phone.

But the point is, why use a song as that ringtone?

My friend's phone plays the sound clip of Quagmire's "Oh god.. oh my god!.....oh oh god!.." when he realized Taylor Hanson wasn't in fact a chick.

It's to identify that it is your phone in situations where there are other people around with cell phones. When I hear "To far away times", I know it's my phone

 

[IGBT]

..I think I'll get morse code ring tones on my phone.

 

[broon]

Better yet, why not just use the vibrate feature? Ringers suck.

Banana Phone ringtone > *

 

[Corporate Thug]

meh, i have 40 ringtones on my phone (that I made). A custom one for each person that i frequently talk with.

 

[deerslayer]

I don't download ringtones. I make my own and put them on the phone with the interface cable.

I just really don't like any of the tones that came on my phone. If I hear some generic preloaded ringtone go off I wonder "was that my phone" whereas if I hear the ringtone I created I know it's my phone. I could really give a sh!t less what people think of my ringtone. My phone is muted anytime I go into a public place anyhow. One of my biggest pet peeves phones going off in the middle of a restaurant.

Because sometimes, the song means something to that person. Take my gf for instance, her ringtone for me is Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now (yeah, i know, cheesy right?) and I think it's cute. For her friends, she has some other ringtones for them as well. And you don't have to pay for these ringtones, her phone is well capable of using the MP3s on it to play as ringtones.

Disclaimer: I don't use ring tunes, I use whatever that comes with my blackberry.

 

[clamum]

I sort of agree with you in that people who are obsessed with the fvcking things are annoying. People that open their phone up and play you every fvcking one of their ringtones, all the way through. Ugh.

Anyway, on my phone, every single ring, with the possible exception of one, is complete bullsh!t. So I have a ringtone I downloaded.

The superiority is strong with this thread.

[nageov3t]

I like them. makes it easy to tell when my phone is ringing, and not someone else's who has all the same standard ringtones as mine does.

 

[ViviTheMage]

my ring tones are all free, ripped from my CD put onto my 1gb memory stick duo pro and slipped into my W810i.

who pays for anything anyways -_-

either way, mine phone is allways on vib.

i hate ringback tones even worse.

i think it's thru verizon, but when i call someone, their phone is programmed to play a song for me until they pick up. wtf??

 

[cheapgoose]

I like them. It lets me know who's calling. of course I would never pay for them.

 

[Kevin1211]

ringtones are for little highschool girls... put the damn phone on vibrate and stop bothering everyone with your crappy low quality ringtone

Yeah badass!

 

[scott916]

They suck, but not nearly as bad as the stupid ass kids on the light rail that listen to whole songs from their phone when even just the beat is almost indistinguishable from static.
