Subject: Has anyone seen those mobile phone adverts for ringtones and fun sounds?

Written By: Stompgal on 01/02/05 at 11:50 am

I have and they're very annoying. They seem to come on whenever I watch MTV. There's a Crazy Frog one and another one for fun sounds.

I'm with you there, Stompgal! That crazy frog is enough to drive anybody crazy! I hear it on VH1 Classics all the time. Who in their right mind would want such an annoying ring tone?

Have you heard this crazy frog, Howard. Nobody in their right mind (fashion conscious or not) would want that on their mobile. However, you have said what I say about fashion victims . . .

"Everybody wants to look the same so they can be different."  ;D

I don't care about a frog ring tone.I just want a regular ring tone.

Good for you. Or maybe put your favourite song on mobile? I have 'The Final Countdown' by Europe on mine.  :)

When I had my old phone, I originally just used the regular "Nokia tune", but would get annoyed when out in public and a phone would ring just like mine, but it wouldn't be mine so I switched it.  Now that I've got a different phone, I can have different ring tones for everyone so I know who's calling without even looking at my phone :P


That's a great idea, 80s cheerleader.  :)

Thanks, Bobby!  It's good to know that a few good ideas come out of this brain of mine :D


You do yourself an injustice, 80s cheerleader.

Well, when it rings, I usually hold it in my hand up to my ear ;D ;)

Since the clips keep breaking, mine's usually either a) in the car, b) in my purse or c) in the little Coach pouch I got for Christmas last year specifically to hold it that hangs on the handle of my purse :P



as I see it when the weather gets cold,I carry it in my pocket but when the weather gets much warmer,I carry it on my belt buckle so my phone is visible to the whole wide world. ;D

Nah, it's just that lately, I've been sooooo scatterbrained, it's scary :D  Not to mention the headache that I've had since BEFORE New Year's Eve that just won't go away is making my thinking a bit fuzzy >:(


It wasn't the booze giving you the headache, was it?  ;)

For my old phone, I had a-Ha's "Take On Me", but with the new one, the version was polyphonic and I didn't like it so I use a variety of the ones that came with my phone.



I kinda like the weird ones.The ones that sound really crazy. ;D

I've just set my phone to a normal ringing tone.  It croaks like a frog for text messages though. And the alarm is set to play "can you feel it?"

I can't see myself ever paying out for a ring tone tune.

My friend Gorm sent a text message to his grandma that was intended to go to his girlfriend Gemma.. you can see how this happened.

It involved tounges and orrifices  :o

At the moment i have This Love by Maroon 5.. this is because my friend Nick sent me about 10 through bluetooth.

And i carry mine in my pocket... like i carry 8,000,000 other things in my numerous pockets.

But annoyingly my phone isn't like tri-band or whatever it is called so when i move to STL i will have to purchase a new one  >:(
