Ok I'm not 15 and my phone ringtone isn't in my top 5 most important things in my life.
However I was wondering what tunes FISO have expelling from their pockets.
A ringtone needs to kick right in, no use going from quiet to loud over 30 seconds so a lively intro is essential, it also helps if its nice sounding of course.

Currently I have - Tuning in by Hadouken

Other favourites include - Reptilla by The Strokes , The Great Escape by We are Scientists and You eff love it by Dirty Pretty Things

How about you?

It is a difficult choice to get the right tune for a ringtone and one you like.
The right tune means it has to be loud early unless you grab a mid track segment. It is useless if it starts quietly.
I remember when my daughter got her first mobile the ringtone I used for her calls was G & R's Sweet Child of Mine. Perfection.
On trains I sometimes got admiring glances when Slash's finest moment broke the virtual silence. Once a total stranger verbally approved my choice of ringtone.
Now I tend to use carefully selected Biffy Clyro tracks, 57 being a good choice.

If it's Rhianna then no :lol: Surely those with the Trigger Happy ringtone are just as irritating?

Didn't realise you'd had a birthday recently :wink:

My phone just rings.

Did consider the Max and Paddy car alarm (GET BACK YA bustard I'LL BREAK YA LEGS!!) but not really appropriate if it went off in a meeting :lol:

If I could be arsed sorting it out I'd probably go for Love will Tear us Apart or Been Caught Stealing. Would say Teenage Riot, but it doesn't start quickly enough. Or maybe Another Girl Another Planet. Yes - probably that one.

I did have Monster by The Automatic as the caller ringtone for when my wife rang.
I will have to get around to reassigning caller tones on my new phone.

if anyone ever left their phone on the table in the pub, we always changed the phone language to Finnish. Made it more interesting watching them work out how to change it back.
