One of the developers here has a child's laugh as his ringtone. I have no idea if it's his kid, but it makes me smile every time it goes off.
I debate switching my ring profile to something less geeky for work, but it doesn't ring often, and unlike everyone else in my teams, I don't bring it into meetings.
Besides, I like the confidence of knowing that when it rings, that's
my
phone. No default ringtones for me--not even any ringtones off the phone's menu.
What is your ringtone?
"Future Proof," by Massive Attack.
Not being embarassed if it went off inappropriately was a key factor in my song choice. Edit: I mean, because I would be embarassed enough at the inappropriate phone-ringing, so I needed to make sure the ring itself wouldn't make things worse.
Our HR guy's personal phone ringtone is an old school sonar ping. Everyone knows his phone is ringing.
I switch between the Addam's Family and the Man From UNCLE. My blackberry - which is employer provided - is Suicide is Painless (it's never good news when it rings)
I still need to figure out how to get custom ringtones on my BlackBerry. Or I could wait until May and get a new phone.
Ailleann had to walk me through making and uploading the Panic! ringtone to my phone. I couldn't do it again by myself if my life depended on it.
What is your ringtone?
It's been
Margaritaville
forever. I really think I need to change it one of these days. I let my daughter choose that one.
Mine is "Who Are You" by The Who.
Mine is the quiet version of the one that the people who made my landline programmed into it.
Still cellphone free 10 years into the 21st century.
