Music ringtones need to die

Music on a phone speaker sounds weak. Why bother?
I use the classic bell telephone ring. Instantly recognizable as a phone.
 
I use music tones so I know when I'm the one being called. I don't like using a stock tone and then hearing it everywhere I go, thinking I'm getting a call when I'm not. I also use SMS tones... right now it's the Old Spice whistle.

Same here. I like being able to tell who's calling without looking at my phone.

Our work phones are very annoying since everyone has the same ring, and since we're usually not sitting at our desks we have to walk back to check if it's ours.
 
That's okay, I make fun of people for making fun of others for doing things that don't have any affect on their life.

grow up

Oh I'm so sorry Gorcorps, I didn't mean to offend you. I do have to grow up. Let me grab an Eminem ringtone first, I think that should turn me into a man. BRB! :awe::awe::awe:
 
Musical ringtones are nice. I have these on V3M

Airwolf

Pink Panther

The Entertainer

Reveille

76 Trombones
 
personal ringtones for most people who call me...

Wife: Kip Dynamite - Why do you love me (Always and Forever)
Sister: Pineapple princess
Dad: Three local boys - I'm a Filipino
Mom: Give said the little stream
...
 
I currently use the keyboard cat song as my ringtone.

Former ringtones include "Intermission" from monty python and the holy grail, and "Yackety Sax" from Benny Hill
 
Someone at work has theirs set to "It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you nooooow" :\

I've never gotten music ringtones for this reason: Music is intentionally listened to over a period of time, but a ringer is picked up as soon as it is heard. Music + ringer results in that damn phone going off and everyone hearing "It's a quarter aft." Even if anybody other than him liked that song, that would be annoying.
 
I've got the main theme from firefly for phone. Guitar chords for email and texts. I'm on vibrate most of the time though.
