Who else thinks that ringtones are a waste of money?

Question

I mean who cares if your phone plays Jay Z or Incubus or "Dixie" if your a redneck.. It's an attention getter, that's all. "Oh if my phone plays Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake. It will make people think I am so cool." No what it means is your a tool who is bothering other people waiting in the grocery line while your pocket sings to you. Their thinking "Answer the phone already, jerk off". "Oh, I'm getting a phone call. People will think I'm cool because i'm getting a phone call." No, people are thinking "Moron. You just spent $2.99 on a freakin' waste of money." What. You think people are going to spontaneously start dancing for the 5 seconds it takes to answer your phone. Nobody cares that your phone plays Brittney Spears. Only you do, twit.

Answer 2

Agreed ! Now, here's an Idea that I give You My Permission to use to make your next Million $ ! How about a Cell Phone with a Silent Vibrate Mode, and the Stupid Ringtone, and an Easy to find Switch between the Two Modes. When the Silent Vibrate Mode is on, the Number of the Caller will be Displayed on an easy to read Display, and an Outgoing Message to the Caller will Say, "I'm in an Important Business Conference [or] I'm around a Group of People that I would rather not Annoy, please leave a message, and I'll call You Back" Now, if You're Alone, or with Friends or relatives that would not be Annoyed, then Switch the Phone to Sound the Most Annoying Ringtone that You would Enjoy Hearing. Yes, I know there are Phones that do that already. But, is there a Cell Phone that's Specifically set up to make it easier to be more Considerate of those around You that would be Instantly Recognizable, and let everyone Know that You are really "Cool" because You Consider the Feelings of Others ? If this could Catch-On, it would go a long way toward Shutting up those Stupid #*%@*|? Ring Tones ! How the Marketing Strategy could be done, I'm not sure.Maybe show the Proverbial Idiot Dancing about to His Annoying Ringtone, upsetting a Group of People.He Exits to a Collective Sigh of Relief.In Walks the "Normal" Person, who sees the Group of People, and His Thoughts are Voiced, "Better Check to See that My Ringtone is Off". Then, the Camera Zooms in to See the Easy to Find Switch going to "Silent" Mode.The Phone is Easily Recognizable as being "Socially Responsible" and the Smiles, as well as the Thoughts heard on the Ad., though Silent in the Room, "I'm Glad He's got the ______ Phone.No Annoying Ring-Tone like that %@*^+ Guy ! And, No Words are Spoken Out Loud the Entire Time.Then, the Pitch-Man [Woman?] Says, "Don't You Think it's about time you got the Cellphone that lets everyone know what You're really made of ? Get the ______ Phone that Says it all !" Look, You're going to make the Million $ , so you have to name the Phone !

It is a total waste of time and money..These services are only out there to make a buck fair enough, but what they don't tell you a lot of times is that if you your msg to 19whatever..you are paying for that message AND the several that they send back to you, one will be your stupid ringtone followed by another 3 telling you to buy this and that! Now i myself have not been caught out by this but a friend of mine was. Her phone bill was ex amounts of dollars as she had no idea that she was paying for every msg they sent her..It's all stupid if you ask me, Now as for my ringtone, it alerts me when there is a call and i am happy with that!! Cheers!! :)

Answer 4

I know what you mean..it's too bad that these people actually think ring tones and the kind of phone you have are status symbols..
guaranteed that the presidents of these companies that sell cell phones don't even own one and they're sitting on thier PRIVATE island getting richer by the second from the fools who think they actually have status in society because they own a razr or chocolate phone.

Answer 5

I'm just cheap! I used the free ones on my old phone and I loved how it made a computerized version of "Brass Monkey" sound. But, if it wasn't free, there is no way in hell I would have paid for it.

Answer 6

One of the reasons people get ringtones is not to be popular. (except the kids do). I got one to distinguish my phone in a crowd.

Answer 7

You only need the rings that come with the phone. As long as it rings, thats all you need.
