What is your cell phone ringer?

For when I'm outside: The Incredits [from the Incredibles] the only thing that is loud enough to blast all the traffic noise...
When I'm inside: Under The Sea (the instrumental version) [from the Little Mermaid]
or So This Is Love (Waltz version) [from Cinderella]
or Once Upon A Dream [from Sleeping Beauty]
it's really base on where I am... 😱 oh, and my brother has a special ring for him... when he calls, it will play this part from Hercules "...cause he has an evil plan... ah ah ah" 😛... it's probably from all the Disney music and jazz we played in Gr. 12 music that got to me... 😱
 
Well, allthough my current phone doesn't handle real sound, I've already chosen my "ringtone" for whenever I get a phone that does: Hello? (Have I posted this before?)
 
50 Cent - Disco Inferno

If anyone can tell me where to get the 24 CTU ringer I would be quite pleased 🙂
 
I have a classic ringer ring for my general calls, a separate classic ringer for friends and family, and a single beep for certain callers 😉

I use vibrate only when in meetings, but I have a weak motor in my phone so it isn't incredibly loud as some can be....plus I never leave it on the desk like the other fools so it sounds much louder than a ringer ever would.
 
I have my daughter saying "answer me, daddy" for home calls, different (brief) tones for each co-worker/family member/friend who tends to call (it's a short list) and the boot sound of my Mac for other calls.

Oh thats clever! Very nice touch! Done the personalised pictures of who is calling, and assigned ringtones for different people, but not assigned one of my actual family to do the sounds!! Very good! I like that idea!

The Mac boot sound is a great idea, I'll have to try that when I get home and see if the speaker will broadcast that loud enough to hear. I would love a simple classic sound like that.
 
Mine is the "Hello Moto" ringtone - because most of the other default Motorola V3 ones I don't really notice playing. I kind of think to myself "Oh someones playing music"..then later I notice the missed calls!

I usually have the phone on vibrate though - even when its not in your pocket you can hear it buzzing loudly so that usually alerts me.

Currently the wife gets James Bond intro (I'm a big fan of both); everybody else gets Happy Happy Joy Joy.

It's all midi though. By the way, since we're already on the topic of phone sound, does anybody know how-to/what-freeware-there-is-to convert mp3/aac to mid?

Mine is typically the standard ring (motorola razr).

Sometimes for meetings I set it to make a little beep noise. I find vibrating is more disruptive because it is pretty loud.

Big Poppa by Notorious BIG, its a classic and always makes people laugh when they hear it on my phone.

Depends on who's calling,

wife = X-files theme (no, really it's a good thing. She loves the show 😛 )
mother = law and Order theme
work = circus music

What about mother-in-law...theme from Dragnet?

Mine's on vibrate most of the time. Just a normal ring, ring like a landline otherwise.
 
Depending on who's calling I have 'Double Trouble', the theme from 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban', the theme from 'Amelie', 'Don't Phunk With My Heart', 'Since U Been Gone', and the 1st Movement from Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G Minor.

Awwwww. Nice. 😀

I'm not as fancy as you guys with customized ringtones for different callers. My current ringtone is one that sounds like an old rotary telephone's ringer (for those of you old enough to remember what those sounded like). I like watcher2001's idea, although I don't watch "24". I wonder if there's a way to make a ringtone that mimics the sounds that came at the end of the introduction to "Homicide" (where we hear the telephone ring, and someone picks it up to answer: "Homicide").
