The ring on your mobile phone could speak volumes about the type of person you are, according to a new survey.

Research has been carried out into the different mobile rings and what each one represents.

Women should be wary of any man that has rude or animal sounds emanating from his phone - especially the popular Crazy Frog - as it shows the man to be little more than a boy.

Those fashionistas who have the latest charts hit as their personalised tone may believe they are always in vogue but such constant changing indicates an unreliable character.

People who opt for the old fashioned ring tone think they are ever so high-brow but may end up coming across as pretentious.

Ageing rockers are not left out of the study, unimpressed with the latest tunes, they will opt for polyphonic versions of My Generation and More Than a Feeling.

If a mobile user has recordings of them or their partner or child, the survey suggests they be more than a little self-obsessed.

On the other hand, the standard tones could mean a lack of daring or even an aversion to technology.

The research, carried out by Tesco Mobile, showed that 21% of those questioned thought having a standard ringtone was "uncool".

Of the 1,000 people surveyed, 25% said the first thing they did on acquiring a new phone was to personalise the ring tone.

But for 66%, they had got so annoyed with someone else's choice of mobile tone that they had either switched off the phone or asked the owner to do so.
 
I have a polyphonic version of the theme from The Godfather. It probably means that I want to start a war with the Barzini family.
 
Anyone who admits to having that f*cking Crazy Frog thing can expect an abusive PM from me.

I don't even care if I get banned.

I always have my phone set to vibrate. My guess is that the study shows that people who do likewise are "considerate and sophisticated".
 
Mine is the theme from Silent Hill 2 (playstation game)

Hate to think what that says about me.
 
I've got no idea if mine has a stupid 'ringtone' or not. It's only used for outgoing calls on a need-to basis, and I couldn't tell you its' number without looking up the bit of paper I keep in my wallet. It's a function, not a way of life, to me. What I object to are people coming into wherever I'm working on a raceday bawling into their phones - would I walk into their office shouting across the room to a friend? Their ringtones, regardless of cuteness or trendiness, would be considerably muffled if I could stick their phones where I'd like to. :teeth:
 
My ringtone (edited by moi) is 22 sec's of Owen Brannigan singing a 60's commercial for Newcastle Brown to the tune of Cushy Butterfield. Anyone want it or even say the Blaydon Races e-mail me and I'll send it to you, transfer to your phone via the appropiate cable, or buy a bluetooth dongle (£10-ish) if your phone is bluetooth. (you can also use this method to transfer copywrighted tunes, images etc.)
My message alert is Sweep my Jack Russel Barking, (tormented it with his ball and recorded it barking 5 times in a row, then copy and pasted it till it lasts around 10 sec's) :blink:
 
Mine is the polyphonic version of the last track of the last Texas cd. I know when it goes off it's my phone and no one elses.
 
Mines a polyphonic Love Cats by The Cure. It used to be Blue Monday by New Order but I fancied a change. It's taken me eight months to learn my new number though :what:
 
How delightful. Just seen an advert on VH2 for a charming ringtone, bodily sounds such as farting and burping.
 
It means that more than one note can be played at a time, so sounding more like an orchestral piece of music than the old monophonic tones, which sound more like a musical box.
