OK admit it, you not only have a cell phone, but you also have a favorite ring tone. What is it?

I guess I'm boring. My favorite is "vibrate" and "ringer1". :D

"When the saints come marching in", i have my volume full blast so when it goes off every employee and customer can hear it:D.

"Vibrate" and "meeting mode" (i.e. silent). When I can't have it on silent, I just use the one that sounds the most like a standard touchtone telephone ringing. I have some ideas about what song I would use if I had an MP3-capable phone, but I'm not sure I'd be able to stand anything other than a straightforward ring.

single beep on an eight second repeat with vibrate - the least obnoxious combination i could find - 'cos i'm wierd like that :D

I use 'Green Onions', with it, I know when it's my phone ringing and I don't have to do the "Is that ME?" shuffle.

90% of the time my phone is on vibrate, but right now I have the Monday Night Football theme as the ring. My favorite of all time was the Indiana Jones theme, but that was a couple phones ago and I haven't looked it up for my current one....

Keep mine on vibrate most of the time, but if not, it's usually on Ringer 5, which is the gayest sounding one I could find :p

My theme is 1980's and 1990's TV shows.
Airwolf - the main ringtone and any unclassified callers who don't already have their own ringtone. This gets automatically replaced by Knight Rider when connected to the carkit.
Simpsons - family
Space Above and Beyond - friends
Mission Impossible - appointment and meeting reminders
er - priority/emergency (I run my own VOIP gateway that's setup to "fake" a caller-ID sequence to trigger this)
Futurama - work/business
I tend to avoid ringtones that are actual songs because it's hard to distinguish them from say a song playing on a radio. Also, I use my phone as an mp3 player a lot of times and if I used my favourite songs as my ringtones then things might get confusing. ;)

I did something like that once. I had gotten a new phone for a business trip (didn't have a phone that worked in Europe back then). I was playing around with it and accidently switched the language to Turkish. Luckily one of the folks I was travelling with is a Turk and helped me switch it back.

Good thing you had a Turk handy. I was surprised how little I could guess at -- took me a long time to switch it back!

I forget what the tone is called, but basically it's just the loudest ring (ring, not a F*$%!ing song). It kinda sounds like an old-school phone ring...like the way phones rang when I was a kid.

What format? I usually take WAV files, edit and convert them if necessary. Although my phone can play midi, wav and mp3 ringtones.

MIDI for sure, im not sure about wav's though. My vertigo tone is a .qcp file. It is a Nokia 2125i

My cell phone is always on vibrate. There's a joke in there somewhere. :)

Personal cell: Rob Zombie, Superbeast (very loud, and I doubt anyone else is using it.)

Work cell: Some weird blurpy ringer thing....it was the only one pre-loaded on the phone that wasn't used by anyone else there, or was a crappy song beat...

....no, I don't want to hear a really bad euro-beat when working...work is torture enough.

Smoke on the Water and Highway to Hell, depending on who is calling!
