NWR: What are your ringtones? Do you have a special one for FS/DS?

Cabell, on August 3, 2010 at 5:45 PM Posted in Planning 0 46

For a long time, DS's ringtone on my phone was "Handlebars" by Flobots, because it was our first karaoke duet. He said he didn't want it to be his ringtone because it ends in nuclear holocaust... he preferred "Space Oddity," because that's got SUCH a happy ending. :p I just switched it to the Shiny Toy Guns cover of "Major Tom (Coming Home)," which I told him will have to be close enough.



My default ringtone right now is "Rock Star" by Miley Cyrus--I have no shame. :p For my sisters, I have "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" & "Yellow Submarine" (one is a huge Beatles fan), & for my parents, "Synchronicity II" (my mom is a HUGE Sting fan). My childhood best friend is "Fascination" by La Roux, & my best friend is "July, July!" by the Decemberists.



I use mobile17.com to clip ringtones, btw--they work for almost any phone and provider, & they're free. Let me know if you want me to invite you to use it--I get "points" if other people join that I can use to get my ringtones w/o a wait!

    The ringtone when my FH calls is "Me and You" by Cassie it was one of the first songs we danced together to and made me think of him when we first started dating (4 years ago) I haven't changed it since.

    I change my ringtones constantly depending on my moods so I don't have anything defaulted to hubby yet. I am going to get a new phone this weekend so I might do something then. Right now my tone is Never Enough by Epica.

    Basically if FH calls I use the belltower ringtone on my iphone and for my alarm right now I used Thriller by Michael Jackson and/or Monster Mash. I love Halloween and purchased these last year and just started using them as my alarm ringtones. Yes, Cabell send me the link to sign up for the ringtones, thanks!

    Cabell, do they all sorts of tones at that site. My music is not found in the US and mostly not mainstream. So it's kinda hard for me to find my music in the default phone directories.

    Diana: You have to have the mp3 yourself, and you upload it and clip it wherever you want (up to 40 seconds). Depending on your network and phone, you may need to have it sent to you as a text message attachment, put online to be downloaded to your phone if your phone has internet, or emailed to you so that you can transfer it through iTunes if you have an iPhone.



    Another of my ringtones that I sometimes set to the default is Clandestine's version of "The Cruel Sister," so I definitely feel you on wanting ringtones that are NOT mainstream. Smiley laugh

    (The website has very good instructions to help you figure out how to get your ringtones depending on your phone/network.)

    Krystal: I have an iPhone and it just sends you the ringtone as an email attachment, you import it into iTunes, and transfer it to your phone! It's awesome. Do you want me to send you an invite? PM me your email if you do!

    I've always just used the standard ring tones that come with my phone. Lame and boring-- but 90% of the time when it rings it's on vibrate so it doesn't bother me much.

    It's funny you posted this... because just last night Thanh called my phone while I wasn't near him just to leave me a message. He was singing "give it to me baby, uh huh uh huh!" over and over. So I set that as my ring tone. He thought it was hilarious when my phone rang this morning. Smiley smile Smiley smile

    Ah, I have a wicked music library on my computer but I am upgrading soon to a web enabled phone. So that might be pretty cool.

    I'm using the same default ringtone as Analy. I cut the tones myself in iTunes because I don't want to pay $1.29 for a 30 second clip when I bought the song for $0.99. I plan on cutting some Wicked songs, some jpop, and maybe some video game music. I have "Fairytale of New York" cut and ready to use for the FH... I just have to sync my library and phone.

    Rick's is Funky by George Michael. Did as a joke and it just stuck.

    Sara - Sara by Jefferson airship, starship, carship...whatever the hell they are called

    Best Friend - Friends in Low Places

    Ex hubby - U2 song Angel of Harlem (no special meaning, he's just and we love U2)

    My default was Don't you wish you GF was hot like me, because my bratty daughter changed my ringtone without me knowing. Yep, pretty embarrassing as you're walking around a grocery store!

    I keep my phone on vibrate, so I don't know what my ringtone is right now exactly. It was 'Feel that Fire' by Dierks Bentley

    My ringtone for FH is: 'Bring it on Home' by Little Big Town

    Obviously I like country Smiley tongue

    I haven't downloaded ringtones in over a year though because it's not an expense we need.

    Oh, I was wrong about it letting me invite via email--that only works for Facebook. Darn. :p Just go to the site and create an account: http://mobile17.com/

    Let me know how you like it!
