Do like me and get a phone that sounds like a cow. Only problem is when you're watching programs about vets...

My home phone ringtone is "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service...

but lately...UPS has been using that song on their t.v. spots.... low and behold...I have that exact problem...I'll be in the kitchen cooking something and I'll yell down the hall, "Phone!" and all the kids just laugh at me... :cry:

I set my cel phone ring to a cat's meow so I can tell it apart from everybody else's. Problem is I get looks every time it goes off.

How about a universal and unique phone ring that will be used on TV and radio only? I'd vote for that.

My problem is that one of my bandsaws occasionally makes a sound similar to my phone, so I'll be cutting something and have to stop, & pull off my ear protectors to see if it is really the phone....

I think that if the phone rings on a television show, the producer should have to yell, "PHONE. PHONE. PHONE." from off-camera.

You can't say that anymore Missy...these days I leave it on petty much all the time

Now if I could just find it before it quits ringing and goes to voice mail....

I don't have a cell phone, but if I did, I'd like the ringtone to be the opening riff from Purple Haze.

Go ahead. Try and confuse that with anything else! :really:

As soon as that happened a load of cretins would use it for their mobile phone ringtone. Like the one from 24 a couple of years ago. We had 3 or 4 people in our office with the CTU ringtone and it just got bloody annoying really quickly.
