So, what's your ring tone? I have "Happily Ever After" from Gurren Lagann from when I thought "OMG, this is the most awesome thing EVAR!".

Mine is Lucca's theme from Chrono Trigger. I uploaded it in MIDI form not long after I got my phone, and have kept it ever since.

When I get a text message, I used to have the CODEC tone from Metal Gear Solid. Now I have the Power Rangers communicator beep. Yes, I am a huge dork, why do you ask?

I also use my phone as my alarm clock. Every morning, I wake up to the refrain to Lordi's Hard Rock Hallelujah. I'm a heavy sleeper. Sometimes I get up and turn it off without actually waking up. <_<;

Silent Hill by Play! A Video Game Symphony. I used to have Gerudo Valley, but I lost it when my old cell died. Message is Item Get from Legend of Zelda, but GG Crono just gave me a good idea...

My ringtone is Sufjan Stevens - All Good Naysayers, Speak Up! Or Forever Hold Your Peace!, and my text alert is Battles - Prismism, which is particularly awesome because it sounds like it was created for that very purpose.

As for my alarm, I'm rudely awakened each morning by the very sudden and very loud snare drums from the intro of another Battles tune, ''Snare Hangar''.

At this time, from the Evangelion soundtrack, Angel Attack. My last one was the Psycho theme. Similar in tone, no?

Some writing.

For me it's Missed the Boat by Modest Mouse but for unknown numbers I've found Through the Fire and Flame actually works quite nicely.

@AFGN:

...Is it just me or is Angel Attack a Jimmy Hart version of the Jaws theme?

I use the "Genetic Repo Man" song from Repo The Genetic Opera. I dunno why, guess it's because it's fairly recognizable, and unlike a lot of songs I like actually starts out at full volume/intensity, so I don't risk people hanging up while the intro's strumming away.

I don't believe in ringtones. Vibrate ftw.

You do know that in order to feel the vibration you need to put the cellphone in places where it's not really recommended to put it, i.e. near some of your vital organs?

Yep. Don't care, it's not like it'll explode. Well, it might, but it's highly unlikely. :D

Vibrate rocks.

When auidlbe is more appropriate (hardly ever, the vibrate motor makes a racket when it's on top of my table as opposed to grafted to my hip), something that sounds like a telephone ringer.

If I didn't have a cellphone that's nearly five years old, I'd loop this.

Please note it's five years old by Israel's standards (though maybe I'm way stretching my country's technology lag) - a camera that shoots at a convenient max resolution of 640*480, piss-poor signal, slow as hell, a proprietary data cable that I don't think can be found in stores any more, and obviously no MP 3 support. Yes, I'm a spoiled child.

Come on, no one would want a cellphone with shit signal.

The Nokia tune. Haven't found a reason to change it.

One thing I do miss about those old phones is the durability. You could throw them at concrete and just pick it up and use it.

Due to my incompetency with phones, my younger brother put some on there, but the only good one is '1st of tha Month'. Shame it rarely plays.

Rebel Rebel by David Bowie. The second I get the new phone I've been eyeing, I'll add a lot more stuff from the vidya like the incoming boss warnings from Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga for incoming texts.

Does anyone else prefer the polyphonic versions of a song instead of the actual song? The polyphonic versions sound more ringtone-y to me.

I have the intro to “Yours Is No Disgrace” by Yes, the celeste and bells theme from Suspiria (Goblin) and, most obscurely, the intro to “Catalan” by Greenslade.

Geeky stuff on there too: the ragtime piano theme from Chips Challenge and Bloo singing “I’m going to the Ice Charades! I’m going to the Ice Charades!”

Mine is Roots Radicals by Rancid. And the tone for when I get a text is this.
