Don't call before 9, my minutes aren't free

I was the guy that used audacity to make ringtones and then share them with as many people as possible. This was of course once phones could play actual music as ringtones.

These days I don't even want a ringtone on my phone.

Man, OPs caption unlocked a core memory I have of calling my high school boyfriend at 858 pm, and talking on the phone with him for about 2.5 hours before he got notified that he was under 10 mins left for the month.

We had thought he was only going to lose 2 of his minutes 😭.

i bought akon - lonely from a TV ad when i was a young teenager for my polyphonic nokia.

what i didnt realise was it signed me up to a weekly £5 subscription and it racked up over £100 before my dad found out.

Had to abandon that number and get a new sim

Never bought a ring tone. I just stuck with the default Canon in D.

A story the descendants will need to have strong search skills to understand.

One day, Merv Griffin was going through his snail mail and found a hefty check to him from a company he'd never heard of.

He used the intercom to summon his assistant. They explained to him that his people had licensed the ' Final Jeopardy' music to be a ring tone.

Then they had to explain to Merv what a ring tone was.

Let's not forget, you could also compose your own ringtones on those 😁. Well, that's what I did 😂.

Don't forget ringback tones so u could force anyone who called to listen to a scratchy version of a shitty song any time they called. My sister still had hers til like 2015 or something.

If someone texted me, the reply was "these cost me $0.25, so i'll talk to you on AIM when I get home"

Ahh yes.. the Xennial Generation.

I'm sorry but paying for a rington was never cool. And it's not a generational thing, just gullibility

My ringtone has been the same one for the last 15 years, Cowbell Rock. I paid for it twice, once when Ringtone Feeder was a thing, and then again from iTunes. Worth it. Best ringtone ever. Would buy again if I could.

I remember in the era of 3310, there would be a spreadsheet for you to compose those pop song tune in a teen magazine. Simpler time.

Anyone remember paying ten cents or honestly usually more per text until someone did out the numbers and we all realized we were paying more to text than NASA pays to beam data back from the goddamn Hubble? Like 5x as much on average? And only then did unlimited texting become common?

Yup that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up…

my first purchased ringtone was hips don't lie by Shakira

I never cared much about my ringtone but I got used to "dream it possible" so now I keep using it 🤷

I bought at least one and possibly two Rob Zombie ringtones on a Cingular flip phone. Wasn't worth it then as shit isn't worth it now.

But I do need to go listen to some classic (Rob|White) Zombie now

I bought 2 ringtones on my Nokia 2112:

Linkin Park - Numb

t.A.T.u - All About Us

It was funny to listen to them over and over!

I spent my money on a yak bak

The times my parents bad My age.

To be fair, also born at the right time to have a mobile phone as a convenience that allowed you to stay in touch as you went places. As opposed to a smartphone, aka voluntary shackle that keeps you indoors doom scrolling social media.
