Oak Knoll Mom Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 What is your ringtone and text message notification? I got a new phone yesterday, so I'm having fun resetting all my ringtones. My general ringtone is the theme music from Downton Abbey and my text notification is Doctor Who (Matt Smith) saying "You've got a text message. Text messages are cool." I'm in the process of assigning specific ringtones to frequent callers. This is fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama_Rana Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 For who? I have different tones for my hubby and some of my family/friends. Not only that, but I have a different tone for texts and calls. :lol: Various songs: Naked as we Came by Iron & Wine Red Tide by Neko Case [my son's fave] The Banana Boat song Love Shack by the B-52s [though I don't think that is assigned to anyone yet] Protege Moi by Placebo Faster Harder Scooter by Scooter [that's Hubby's] Jezebel by Iron & Wine I like the idea of Downton Abbey!

Word Nerd Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) The TARDIS arriving/departing sound is my ringtone for texts. The Doctor Who theme is my regular ringtone. I have the Sherlock theme for my mom, since she's a big fan of the BBC show too. DH's calls are set to I Am the Doctor, another Doctor Who tune. I have the Downton Abbey theme set for some calls, but it's harder to hear for some reason. Edited October 3, 2012 by WordGirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I paid my dues just to be with you.' :) For my son, A rather robotic voice saying, 'your son is attempting to reach you on your cellular device' . For my sister, kind of a rap, 'your sister's on the phone!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my bff's is always having an adventure in her life; hers is the theme song from Indiana Jones. The general ringtone is Pirates of the Caribbean.

LucyMcGillicuddy Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have different ones for different people: theme from Firefly, theme from Superman, Phantom of the Opera, the Imperial March (from Star Wars), Hard Days Night by the Beatles, Fireflies by Owl City and a regular old ringing phone for everyone else.

Elizabeth in MN Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 If I had texting (which I don't) it would be the Tardis materializing/dematerializing sound. If I could find it my ring tone wold be the old ringing sound that British phones use to make. Since I can't I have an old fashioned US ringing phone, but I need to change it because it's too common.

myfunnybunch Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Mine is the theme song from The Pink Panther, except for dh's ringtone. When I got my new phone, I got a TARDIS case and downloaded the Dr. Who theme song. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hedwig's Theme (Harry Potter). I never have set up different ringtones for different people, and my text tone is just a generic one that comes with the phone. Dh, whose name is Bill, has the Kill Bill theme for when work calls him. Harry Potter means it's me, and Doctor Who is ds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Cricket, chirping softly. Downside: This year, due to the last summer's drought and then a wet spring, the cricket population exploded. All summer I would wake up at night thinking my phone was ringing. Upside: I forgot to turn my phone off for Mass and when someone called me, of course I couldn't dig out my phone before it had rung several times. I mentioned the incident to a friend afterwards, and she had thought a cricket had just crawled into the church and started singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I like my traditional marimba sound for my iPhone. However, I have a cute light little whistle sound (like someone getting your attention) for my text messages and, for some reason, it always makes me smile when it whistles at me. :) Weird, I know ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 These are fun! DH's is The One That I Want from Grease, my notification sound for awhile was Sheldon saying "Bazinga!", and somehow my Pink ringtone (for everyone else) got disconnected and the phone defaulted to the standard music. I'd love to find the Firefly theme though! I need to go look for that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Ringtone is theme from Mad Men. Notification is the mockingjay from Hunger Games. I really like them both. They both are loud enough but pleasant sounding. They both feel like "no hurry...just answer me when you can". :001_smile: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the bolded! Pet Peeve 14,589: Having a perfectly normal conversation with someone and their cell phone goes off, blaring some distorted sound loud enough that it can be heard by everyone in the tri-county area, completely derailing your train of thought. Even if your friend silences it, it still is a horrible intrusion. THEN, you just get back into it again, and 20 seconds goes by, and a different horrible noise comes out of the accursed thing to let you know that the silenced caller left them voice mail. I intentionally have my landline phones at home set to the lowest possible ringer volume, so they sound more like "excuse me please", and not PAY ATTENTION TO ME NOW!

My dd is a joke one that says "the princess is calling. You had better pick up. Don't leave her waiting..." My MIL is another joke game show opening that says "It's your mother in law!!

Mona100 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 My ringtone is the theme song to Mad Men. My text message tone is just the plain old Blackberry default.

When I upgrade to the Iphone 5, hopefully Siri will do that for me. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytwomonkeys Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 it depends on who's calling. for any random person, it is robin hood. for my mom, it's a country song singing, "your mama's calling you...wants to see what your up too...if you wait til this song is through...you just might miss her). my sisters have a rap song that entertains me greatly (your sister's on the phone. your sister's calling you. your sister's on the phone...waiting patiently so she can tell you something new, uh.). my husband is superman theme song. my dad is the godfather. my best friend has an obnoxious BFF ring tone. anyway. that's about it.

happypamama Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) I just had to get a new phone, so I haven't picked a ringtone for the general public yet. However, I did put DH's ringtone on it -- Michael W. Smith's "Do You Dream Of Me?," which has been my ringtone for DH for about six years. (In fact, when the kids hear the actual song, which is one of my favorites, play, they think Daddy is calling.) For a while after we moved to farm country and bought an old tractor, I changed it to Kenny Chesney's "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." I think I need a new general ringtone, though; the one that's there is boring. Edited October 4, 2012 by happypamama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 General ringtone is bells being rung by EO monks. I can't remember what it's called, though. Ringtone for dd is Guns and Roses, "Sweet Child of Mine". Ringtone for ds is Carole King's, "Child of Mine". Ringtone for my dad is bagpipes playing "Scotland the Brave." Ringtone for EX is the theme from "The X Files." Text tone for dd is a teletype machine sound. Everything she has to say is "news". LOL Text tone for ds is a trumpet fanfare, since he plays the trumpet. At Christmas time, it changes to a jazzy version of "Go Tell It On the Mountain" or "Buglers Holiday" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
