cell phone ring tones

What is that really popular tone that you hear a lot? It goes higher and higher and drops down and goes up again and again.

I think it's a generic ringer. Because a lot of people have it. Anyone know the name?

What tone do you use for your phone?
Thanks

I'm too cheap to pay for the use of one, and besides, I don't either hear it or realize what it is in time with all those funky ringtones... I have a standard type ringer that sounds like a PHONE!

My cell phone has a very distinctive ringtone, it is one that I have't heard anyone else use lately.......it goes ring....ring....ring, like a normal phone is suspose to. I think most of these song ringtones are annoying, but hey...to each his own, I know that not everyone has the same tast and ideas as me.(But, wouldn't the world be a better place if they did.)

On edit... So there is one other person like me.^^^^

I have different ringtones for different people.

For example, when my immediate supervisor calls, the sound of someone passing gas, sounds out.
When my wife calls, a 'nag' sounds out. (The sound of a horse 'whinny'.)
When my son calls, it is a police siren. (Hmmmmmm. Tickets!)
My favorite though, is the one that (literally) says, "You've got an incoming call."
THAT one get's peoples attention, when you are in a crowd!!!

hehe, i dunno what tone is it your lookin for, but mine goes BZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! i swear i can hear that stupid phone better when its on vibrate....i can't think of the last time i had it with a actual tone. cause usually, if its in my pocket, i can't hear it while driving (loud truck), and if its not in my pocket, its sitting ona table, so when it buzzes, it makes a lot of racket buzzing aroudn on the table. it sit on the turntable next to my bed at night....talk about a lot of noise buzzing around on a hollow plastic cover!

I try to get a new song every couple of weeks or so. It was Crossfade - Colors this morning then at lunch I downloaded and changed it to Hawthorne Heights - Ohio is for Lovers. I always go for the real songs...none of those chinsey synthesized ones where you have to go, "Guess what song this is!".

I've got "Copenhagen," by Chris LeDoux as my ringtone, and "Hicktown," by Jason Aldean as my alarm clock. My phone plays "The Good Ole Boys," by Waylon when my dad calls.

I too have mine set to ring like a normal phone. Mostly it's because that's the loudest ringtone on the thing. I can't hear it ring if I'm running equipment anyway, but at least I have a chance of hearing it with this setting. Tried the vibrate setting, but the backhoe vibrates so much I can't feel the phone at all.

Nirvana smells like teen spirit on mine. What can you get that is louder than that? Mine is set to use a ringtone only if the vibration does not get my attention though.
