Anyone remember Ringback Tones?

Why pay money to hear music when someone calls you when you can pay money to make someone who ~~bothers~~ calls you hear shitty music?

"Please enjoy the music while your party is reached" followed by the audio equivalent of a jpeg

I paid for that crap. Had a friend call me to listen to some song. Had to convince him that it does not cost anything as long as I don't pickup.

Ok this is embarrassing but as an old person, how does one get ringtones on an iphone when I only use streaming music services so can’t use an itunes library?

[–] ceeg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the iTunes Store app on your iPhone should let you buy ringtones! in the … /More menu at the bottom, then "Tones".

edit: good god the selection there is bottom of the barrel. good luck!

[–] Vag_of_Honor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

In the iTunes app click the [… More] on the bottom right and select Tones. To set them open the settings app > sounds & haptics > ringtone (there’s also a link to the tones store in there)

There’s also a ton of apps/websites where you can download a larger variety and even make your own, like Zedge (searching ‘ringtone’ in the app store finds a ton)

[–] ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

There’s also a way to do it for free but it takes like 5ish minutes rather than a few seconds. It involves using the garage band app so you can probably find a tutorial on YouTube. Otherwise, just follow what everyone else has been saying to but it if you don’t wanna do that.

I discovered phone hacking with my first phone because the T-Mobile version of the Sidekick in the US was hot garbage when it came to the openness that originally led me to want the device in the first place. I was never willing to pay for something I could have easily downloaded/uploaded to my phone for free.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Oh man, I was the first kid on my block to figure out how to replace a rigntone file with whatever that program was. Felt like a legit haxor until everyone else realized how easy it was.

MULATTO BUTTS!

[–] apj2k36@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

A little flex, but I just uploaded the songs with some random free programs. Spent too much time personalizing the notifications when it was often on vibrate when in public.

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have one criteria for my ringtones; is it a banger? Bangers only for when I get a call.

[–] MarcoPolpo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

This reminds me of a Value Select short lol

I own property, and I'm 33. You can get there if you want it. I had to go back to school at 29 to start a new career, but it was worth it to put myself in a good financial position.

[–] Nightwind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Do you own property or does your bank?:)

[–] Bleach7297@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Not everyone is in a position to go back to school and start a new career, even if they wanted to. Of course, that doesn't mean they shouldn't try, but 'try' does not mean 'succeed' even when you do everything right (which nobody does)

[–] ki77erb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I love this. You knew what you had to do to get what you wanted, and you went out there and did it.

*Deleted because fuck me a meme community is probably not the place to talk about anything serious.

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm 30 and paid 99¢ for a ringtone in 2005. Most 30 year olds cannot own property.
