Aphex Twin Ringback tone

Aphex Twin's Blue Calx - I like that there would be something gentle and relaxing to listen to before my desTroyer Voice picks up the phone and blows away my callers.

VS

Brazillian Girls' Homme - Cool Song!

VS

Converge's Conduit - I like that my callers get a catharsis and some screaming blood exploding music in their ears before I pick up gently and say "hello?" I think the contrast will make them laugh and be happy.

Oh right. Vote or something.

How about you leave it as it is and don't bother people with YOUR music taste.

It always annoys me when i call people and they have a ringback tone. I get it Jessi .. YOU LIKE LADY GAGA , WHO THE FUCK CARES!!! , don't bother me with your music you stupid cunt.

converge it is then, since it spits 'i don't care about your taste in life either" right at you.

cool thread

Trim this to the "Ah, I know I smell a graveyard." part. They'll jump:

I think I would do John Zorn, something off of Torture Garden.

just so people would know right off that they're dealing with someone deep, even if the call goes a bit wrong, at least they know I'm down to earth. I like screaming and shit. they have nothing to hide from me.

i find this no more annoying than a regular old stock ringtone. therefore i don't give any kind of a shit what your ringtone is.

go nuts.

what about crazy frog?

OK, a long, potentially irritating upon multiple exposures voicemail greeting is 10X worse than any possible ringback.

Ringback tones....highly annoying

you can make people endure terrible noises as they wait for you to pick up (and you're using music?!?!?)? it's almost worth getting a phone.

the fuck is a ringback tone?

instead of getting a "beeep beeep beeep"

you get a song

util the guy at the other end of the line picks up

i like skype's new ringback tone. Once i set up a skype 'dealy' with a friend

phone1.speaker->phone2.mic->phone2.speaker->phone1.mic

it was pretty cool.

It seems they have finally decided to use this 'feature' with their new ringback tone

some classic lore

Now some of you may have heard of the infamous Captain Crunch (John T Draper), one of the many pioneers of phone phreaking. Captain Crunch got his name because of his use of a toy whistle that used to come as a prize in boxes of Captain Crunch Cereal. And if you haven’t guessed it already, that toy whistle just happened to emit at tone at 2600 Hz and was used by Captain Crunch to phreak the phone system. Now it was not actually Captain Crunch who discovered the whistle, it was his close friend Joybubbles who discovered it and informed Draper of it.

 

Over the beginning years of Phreaking, there were a number of devices that were created to phreak the phone system by emitting various tones which all performed different actions to exploit the network. The first device created was called the Blue Box and actually simulated a telephone operator’s dialing console and was used for various purposes, one being placing free phone calls. There were then a number of other “boxes” created all with the name of a different color. With the advent of “Blue Boxing”, phone phreaking moved from just a select few people exploring the infinite mysteries of the phone system to a whole subculture of people.

 

It was said that Captain Crunch once went to a pay phone and phreaked his call around the world, traveling through telephone switches in England, Japan and Russia to a different pay phone directly next to him. Apparently, it took a number of seconds for the second phone to ring and once he picked it up, there would be a significant delay of his voice from one pay phone to another. And to top it off, this phone call cost him absolutely nothing!

edit: and this ringback idea is retarded i'm kind of relieved no one i call has it

i spent 10 hours meticulously synthesizing a perfect reproduction of my phone's existing ringback tone, i use that now, it's well lush

my fone ring is a demo mp3 of some russian synth i found on ebay years ago.

I have no idea what a ringback tone is, but it sounds like a waste of time changing it.

I've never heard a "ringback tone". I'm guessing it happens when the other person doesn't want to speak to you.

If I do hear one I will automatically hang up and never converse with said person again

i don't think canada has this yet.
