Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
How does your cell phone ring? Just some normal 'bell system' ring, music, song, etc.? Mine's just the a generic ring, but most of the time it's just on vibrate.
When sitting at the local lunch counters, inevidably other guys' cell phones will ring. Some of the rings are so wacky, juvanile, and profane, it troubles me. What do they do if they're with a customer and their phone rings like that? What do you all use? |

I use disco music and start dancing when it rings. I don't care what customers think!

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
I use 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P" as my ringtone. The housewives love it. I have someone call me on purpose when I sitting with a housewife. It let's her know who's in charge and makes them fall in line.
![]() Actually, generic ring and/or vibrate. I can't tolerate all the other BS. I'm just old and cranky I guess. |

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
Generic ring for my blackberry, same with my Mike phone, however when someone alerts me on the walkie's, or better yet just shoots out thier message... that can be annoying.

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
Mine's on vibrate when in public places, so as not to disturb others. I keep in my front pants pocket.
You should see the look on peoples faces when it starts vibrating and I get a woody. Then I have to dig in my pocket to get the phone so I can answer it. People tend to get offended when they think I'm trying to please Mr. Happy right then & there!

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
I keep mine on the Verizon default setting. I do have a couple custom ones assigned to family/friends when they call. I also have real irritating ones assigned to unavailable/restricted/private numbers. Those never get answered.

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
My main ring tone is the ohio state fight song. Then when I'm eating lunch or in a meeting its on vibrate.

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
Mine is just a boring ring. My husband is one of the one's with the juvenille ring tones!
He has a different one for each person- Napolean Dynamite saying, "Idiot" Disco for when I call! and many others. I think his customers just think it's funny.

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
Ok, I must be really juevenile...lol Mine's set to "Money" by Pink Floyd for previous customer's numbers, any new call is "If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time" by Hank Sr.
But in my defense, ANY time I am around a customer, it is set to silent/vibrate.

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
My Blackberry (which I don't like much) has a nice couple of vibrations and then if I haven't silenced it or answered it rings with the old classic from the original rotary dialed phones.

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
I've got the opening bars of Sweet Home Alabama, and it ALWAYS raises a smile. Everyone knows it now after the Movie (and Con Air).

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
I have 2 rings... They are both about the same a boring ring ring. One is a little lower pitched and that one is for when my wife calls. Everyone else is the other ring ring.

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
I have mine on dual, vibe and ring. It'll vibrate for 4 rings then it will do a standard ring if I don't pick it up on vibrate. This is for the shop, so when I'm making noise I can feel the ring. I have the wifes cell on something else its called Toccata & Fugue. That way I know when she is calling.

Re: Most Professional Cell Phone 'ring'?
My only claim to fame was when I bid (unsuccessfully) on a timber frame building for Lynyrd Skynyrd on a little island off the coast here. Loved their music, woulda been so cool to have built the building.
That reminds me, did build a cabinet for Gillian Anderson's little retreat on Denman Island right near me. (Ah, fame... anyone want my autograph?)
