Just changed to a new Nokia which has a 'record' facility. Apparently you can record whatever you want, then use it as a ring tone! News to me - although I'm prolly the last to find out.
This opens up huge possibilities - you can have an angle grinder as a ring tone. Great!
Or an SDS drill, circular saw - anything.
Think I'm going for the SDS!
Toilet flush, swearing at hammered thumb.....the mind boggles.
I got fed up with thinking I had an SMS, when it was someone else's. Changed my SMS alert to the sound of an old fashioned klaxon.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman" saying something like:
I've only just found that my old SE does that - bugger, the fun I could have had with it. Handy though - it means I've now got a discrete recording device with me all the time. Just the thing.
For an added bonus, you can probably allocate specific ringtones to known callers.
Indeed!
I have a good 'Oh, No!' for calls from work.
I stole the file from my Asterisk box's TFTP server, where it doles up configs and ring tones to my home Cisco 7940's. I think it originally came from CloneDVD or somesuch, for when a burn failed.
I use the 'Bugger!' from Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral, for when something fails on a PC.
Steve Walker submitted this idea :
Unless it is different from mine, you can only associate them with caller groups. Nothing to stop you having one caller per group though, but I'm not sure how many different groups you can have.
I had 'that' clip from the Apollo 13 mission for PC errors.
Ringtone on my phone is a peal of bells from Daresbury Church.
My soninlaw changed my sms rt without me knowing, to a very loud FART.wav. i now use this

Complete with white rabbit ?
In a similar vein, I use this for the same purpose:
David
heh!
My current phone is like that. It took lots of working out how to allocate ring tones to users (which my previous phone (also Nokia) would do directly. Most users are now in a group of a very few. It clutters up my contacts no end.
Angle grinder? :-)
We're going to have problems with the sound of car body filler...
This guy can supply a few possible sound bites:
You're not going for "The Pushbike Song" I take it?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Lobster saying something like:
nasty on your PC.
My AVG did the same
