Cell Phone Rings

[The Clerk]

For those of you whom have a cell phone, what is your ring? Mine is "the Legend of Zelda" theme, ya know, from the good ol' regular Nintendo days. Ahhh... I love it so

[Sparvid]

Theme to Knight Rider. I've had it for... well, 3 years, I believe, and I still haven't heard anyone else with the same ring

[That Matt Guy]

I don't even own one. I hate phones.

[Taloniss]

Fur Elise by Beethoven.

[Bowser_Koopa]

i used to have it with the superman theme, 'till i got bored, then i it was the zelda theme, then the simpsons them...them my cell phone was gone

[Cascadia]

mine has the Magic Flute bby Mozart

[Reznorite420]

I haven't even bothered trying to "download" rings and whatnot; I just go with what's already on my phone. The whole customized ringtone thing is nothing more than a mainstream craze to me anyway, thus I despise it.

I have it set on vibrate. THAT'S my ringtone!

[Anarky]

[Bowser_Koopa]

"hey look how expensive my cell phone is, let me look at yours, oh? you don't have one? ho, ho, ho"

I use carrier pigeons to communicate with other people.

I use smoke signals.

Seriously. I despise phones. I hate talking on them, I hate it when other people talk on them, and I especially hate how everyone is so damn obsessed with them.

Sheesh, if it's not one thing, it's another...

Let's get one thing straight: I'm not against cell phones, in fact I think they're one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread. What I AM against is, as someone already said, the way every yuppie and their brother "shows off" their cell phone and blare their mindless chit-chat with their equally yuppie friends out loud in public for the whole world to hear. You know the type: the kind who watch MTV religiously and are only into the "flavor of the week" kind of pop music....oh, it goes on! While on the outside I remain unfazed, on the inside I want to rip off the caller's head every time I see that happening.

Now, with that being said, why don't I put what I said in my previous post in broader terms?

I currently own a cell phone and damn glad to have one at that. It gives me the ability to talk to my family back home, which is damn useful considering I live over 200 miles away from them, and many of them do not have either the knowledge or the ability to chat with me online, in which case having the phone is a good thing. What I don't get is why anyone would want to pay extra money for useless conveniences such as customized ringtones, games, text messaging, email, and the whole nine yards for a device that's not supposed to serve a purpose voice communication....IN PRIVATE! A simple beeping ringtone should do just fine. If you want to play portable games, buy a Game Boy or something. The concept of cell phone text messaging is more than superfluous, if you ask me. Why should you have to go to a movie theater, opera house, or any other public place where cell phones aren't allowed to be audible so you and other people can enjoy whatever spectacle is being presented only to defeat the purpose of being there by talking to your buddy via text messaging? You're there to see the movie, not so you chat with someone! I'm not saying you can't take your phone with you, because you should, but only just in case you get an urgent call at the time you're where you're at. In that case, leave it on silent or vibrate, check it once in a while to see if you have any messages, and if you do, find a more private locale such as a deserted hallway or restroom and THEN call back.

End rant for now.

since when do you have to pay for ring tones?? for mine i used ringtone composer, an looked for the tones on the net, i never had to pay for anything. i just composed it. Text messeges are way better than that rez, they save you a call, and they are free, they are here, i used to chat for hours with my best friend, who didn't and still doesn't have a computer, chatting with calls would have been way more expensive

That's exactly the same way I feel. I hate text messaging, it's so pointless.(Just call, or don't talk at all, why press numbers for an hour to say a simple phrase) I also hate all the fancy phones. "My phone has a digital camera, a video camera, a t.v, a microwave......" and so on.

I don't have a cell phone, but I need one real bad, and if I had one it would be a simple phone, no color screen, no pictures, no obnoxious sounds, no text messaging, or any of that.

i never used that, i used the composer, i used to have a nokia
