My friends uber cell phone... dial...
 

When I call my friend's cell phone, I put in his number, hit SEND, then my phone says "please enjoy the music while we connect your call", then it proceeds to play classic rock ... it does all this instead of the standard "brinnggg. brinnggg"... anyone know how to do this?

They're called ringback tones; you get them from your cell phone service provider; and they're the most annoying things ever.

Why do you think they are annoying? :P

You want one of those neon blinking batteries, too? There's a cell phone fad store around here; I could give you their phone number if you want.

Because it's already enough to have to hear the latest Kanye West bitchfest as a ringtone. I don't want to hear it every time I dial a number.

Well i was planning to use something along the lines of classical music :P

You want to put people to sleep before you answer? You must be some conversationalist.

I believe this is a telemarketer deterrent feature, not necessarily to put people to sleep.

I believe it only works if you play something like One-Winged Angel, though... I couldn't tell you why.

Devo, what the bloody fuck is that. Is it seriously a phone. WHY.

I think its really ANNOYING too. I tried calling a friend of mine from my high school days last week to see if he would be in town this summer. I got this song, right - some COUNTRY CRAP. And I was a little CONFUSED? So I hung up and retried calling about 5 times.

He finally got mad and called me back immediately to berate me. I told him this fad was probably the MOST annoying fad to come of cell phones yet.

Call that the "Daddy's Little Whore Edition".

I'm glad my cell phone isn't high tech enough to do that kind of bullshit.

Nope:

+ blinking batteries FTW.

I like how some people buy phones with really cool designs and then proceed to piss all over them with "Girl's World" style crappy plastic gems and sequins etc. I could understand if they didn't want to be taken seriously by ANYONE, but come on.

I'm.....a little.....WHAT IS THE POINT? It serves no function. If anything, I would imagine that would only serve to ANNOY THE EVER LIVING HELL out of your fingers and hands when you're trying to USE it.

Not to even fucking MENTION that those little rhinestones shitfuck things on there must get CAUGHT on fabric and shit. Slip that shit into your Gucci bag or whatever, and you'll LOSE half of the "jewels!"

I wonder how much it costs to get your crap blinged out like that. I wonder if they could do that shit to my cat's head. That would be so kickass to have a blinged out CAT.

Now comes with DVD of "One Night in Paris."

It's funny how the only girl I know who actually has one of those lives with her pimp.

I'm not kidding either. She lives with 3 other girls in a house on the North Side in Visalia and her pimp goes by the name Milli. :(

You know, the one thing that pissed me off about those hold songs (which T-Mobile had first, they call them CallerTunes) is that the person you're calling picks them. Dude, if I have to listen to the music, I should pick the damn song. My girlfriend had set up "I Put a Spell on You" for the longest time, which I find to be one of the most annoying songs in the world.

And that shit... still ain't as bad as an N-Gage.

At least a Sidekick has a purpose to it's functionality. Like sending the bookkeeping records to your hooker.

It's nothing to do with the technology of your phone. If your service provider offers dialtunes (As they're called over here) they work from any phone as I'm fairly sure the tune itself isn't stored on your handset.

I could be wrong though but then you'd seriously struggle to have bought a phone that can't play mp3s in the last three years.

I'm glad I've never encountered dialtones. I think I would force people to listen to my blaring JRock on the rare occasions that I get calls. I'd also annoy the person with the dialtone by just calling them and then being angry when they pick up because: "I only called to hear the song :(" That'd make them rethink their choice a bit more.

Yup, I'd do the same thing. Since I put songs as my ringtone people complain that I take too long to answer the phone because I always wait till a certain point in the song...
