Do you still use a ringtone?

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

I feel that this is somewhat discouraged these days, almost like a dying art.

I loved being able to tell exactly who's phone was ringing just by identifying the songs that came blasting out of the speakers whenever someone called, but it seems that everyone's just using the default beeps and boops or the non-musical, built-in jingles these days.

I liked my edgy songs (and crappy renditions of, because phone had like 1 megabyte of memory XD), but yeah... not listening to a lot of those when phones ring at work or through gatherings these days... Hell, most just buzz instead.

So, which is it? Are you a "Revolution X"-like rebel and still rock your favorite jams in the face of a grey world or do you prefer to go the "silent" route and not call attention to yourself by having your phone "merge" into the unified sound wave? Both are fine, honestly.

I use F1 "box box" team radio when someone send me a message on WhatsApp, and 3D Dot Game Heroes "Breakout" for a phone calls (or most people knows it as Scott the Woz former outro).

I use this one:

Since I hate phone calls and can be very neurotic about it, I better know its my phone the one that's ringing.

Same, i prefer put it on silence.

 

[Sheepy765]

I use this, but no one would ever know because I keep it on vibrate.

 

[gastd]

Yes, I still use something like that. It's also nice not to forget such things.

 

[random0nonsense]

I have "Alien Breakdown" from ToeJam & Earl as my ringtone. And I use the main theme of Cave Story as my alarm.

 

[PSVitaForever]

When people call me on my smartphone I hear a chocobo theme (now I don't remember from which ff).

Atari 2600 chocobo

 

[Appiplyer]

Oh ofcourse heck i literally used the megaman zero warning spesifically for my big sis.

Other than that i used the chocobe theme as my call ringtone

And as for message i just use departure (from megaman zero 2) '>'

Now no, but I would, I don't know what song put on my ringtone, I am thinking in a megaman song or sf
But I have a a proper notification tone, and is the window ls messager tone! Though I want to change it for a megaman sound efect

 

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

Oh, yeah... This used to be mine:

Technically still is, but my phone's on silent almost constantly when I'm working.

 

[YoshifreakZX]

For the longest time, I had Funky's Fugue from Donkey Kong Country as my ringtone, then I used Angel Island Act 2 from Sonic 3, but then once I got my now current phone, I got too lazy to put a ringtone on it... Maybe I should do that again, lol.

 

[Uitsualnemetia]

I use Nokia's classic ringtone.

Not that specific version, though. What I did was download that song's MIDI file from a random later Nokia phone, played it using the Yamaha S-YXG50 Portable VSTi and recorded the output. It sounds pretty nice.

 

[Taukyrie Taukyrie]

I use Tri-Alive by Kirasame Undertaker

Sometimes I get jumpscared by it.

 

[BrawlMan]

Yes. I use the the first level of SOR4 as my ringtone. I customized it myself.

 

[ibbie]

I still do. Here are some of my ringtones I use:

​

 

[ImpPlushie]

no
i also just let my phone die for days at a time and even if i did have a ringtone no one actually calls or texts me

 

[Princess Viola]

I got a ringtone set (an instrumental version of an anime ED) but I also have my phone set to vibrate unless it's someone in my contacts or someone calls me twice within 15 minutes.

 

[DjQuick2008]

i rarely keep my phone on nokia music composer was amazing back in the day

 

[Tsukishima]

I use Friendly Conversation - Va-11 Hall-A as my ringtone for friends and family, and for message tones i still have the Superintendant beep from Halo 3: ODST as that small sound effect is so hypnotizing to me for text messages and notifications.

 

[Mechablade-X]

On my old phone, i had the codec call from Metal Gear Solid. i can still added again on my new phone if i want to.

 

[CraigJarrett]

No, I find them annoying even if it is a song I like.
