I wish I could set my phone to ring once

[WinkOsmosis]

How good would that be? If it rings when I'm in class, I don't haev to worry about rushing to get it out and turn it off because it won't keep ringing. But that is much too logical for phone manufacturers.

My old Nokia would do that. I think my T720 will but I haven't tried it.

 

[Geekbabe]

what about discrete or vibrate mode?

I can set mine to ring once. Neener neener neener.

People that have their cell phone set to ring in class piss me off. Use the damn vibrate feature. If your phone lacks that feature turn the damn thing off.

I remember in one of classes as an undergrad, someone's cell phone started to ring. And they would not shut it off. The professor ignored the first ring figuring someone would reach into their bag and turn it off, but whoever's phone it was was frozen by fear and did not do anything. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, it stopped.

Omg! The SprintPCS site won't let me download ringers anymore. I have to do it from the phone, for which I require the Vision plan. SPRINT WON'T LET ME DOWNLOAD RINGERS WITHOUT PAYING $15 A MONTH.

or how about a ringtone that sounds like a polite cough or one that says "ahem"

They are providing two months free right now. Sign up for that.

I don't know why people would call someone when they're in class... if I had a cell phone, and I brought it to class and left it on, nobody who didn't know I was in class at that time would have my number.

Before my CPT135 final exam the prof reminded everyone to turn off their cell phones. Well 5-10 minutes into the exam someone's cell phone rang. He walked up to the guy and said let me see your exam. The guy handed him his exam and the prof replied with, "You just failed CPT135. See you next semester."

One of the profs I had would MAKE people answer their phones. Then he'd quiz the caller "ask your friend if she knows the difference between pahoehoe and aa. You get five points if she answers correctly." , or give the unlucky student lines to say, like "tell them that your Geology professor says Hi, and to please stop interrupting class."

Ouch. Funny story.

In my class I give a little leeway because sometimes people are just stupid and they can't help it.

I can understand that, but the first words out of his mouth before handing out the exam were "Please turn off cell phones."

Well, that changes things. But still, sometimes people are stupid and they can't help it.
