My ringtone was a funky chiptune version of O Green World by Gorillaz.
These days I don't even want a ringtone on my phone.

Back in that day, before everything had an app, most notifications were important
And before 99% of the calls and texts you receive were spam, political campaigns inevitably addressing you by the wrong name with heartfelt pleas for money, IRS scams, "Bob" from Microsoft technical support, Your Car's Extended Warranty, AI generated robocalls telling you not to vote, or someone's hysterical babymomma who refuses to understand that whoever she's looking for might have had this number in 2007, but they don't have it anymore.
For a while I kept getting calls from this old lady who didn't realize she had to dial an area code before calling her son. After the first couple I answered it and explained to her that she's dialing the wrong area code, but she didn't remember and kept calling me and I'd let it go to voicemail. They were pretty sad and I think she was just lonely and wondering why her son wasn't answering.
Eventually she stopped so I hope she figured it out.
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 remember when they finally came out with the free unlimited minute plans.
Mind=blown
How about Alltel’s “Fave 5”?
Yeah but at first it was only Cingular to Cingular or Verizon to Verizon "free unlimited"
I stayed with Sprint through years of them being the shittiest in my area because I was grandfathered into an old plan with free nights starting at 5pm. Just taking non-stop at 6pm like a baller.
Oh yeah those were the days!
Now you've gotta pay me a hecking salary for me to use the damn TELEPHONE function. Ew
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 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.
They could. As long as they were midi files.
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?
Best part was that SMS was specifically designed to use the current infrastructure at the time without inducing any real demand on it. It didn't cost the companies much of anything to implement it.
