I actually had a mash ring tone. I hated that show- but I never watched it. Ir would immediately follow the last showing of the Simpsons at 9:30pm, iirc.

My phone ringtone is "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X. (It's the first song in the whole game.)

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire: the A-Team.

I found a ringtone online from my very first smartphone. I had an HTC Droid Incredible and the ringtone was called Rhino.

Mine is also the theme from Knight Rider and has been for like a decade.

Whatever the default ringtone is. My phone is always set to vibrate.
LoveYerBrain2@reddit
Came to say this. I've literally never heard the ringtone on my current phone.
Traditional-Pop4103@reddit
Yup. I haven’t had a ringtone since about 2004. Always on vibrate.
DramaticErraticism@reddit
Ringtones were cool from 2000-2005. Everyone realized they were pretty lame, after that.
The only people with ringtones I hear are the boomers in my office and boomers out in the wild. I can't remember the last time I've heard young or middle aged person with a ring tone lol
the_kid1234@reddit
From 2000 - 2005 getting a call was exciting/important. Now, it’s almost always junk. Important and exciting notifications come from texts, email, social media, etc.
DramaticErraticism@reddit
If you remember, ring tones used to be unique and you had to buy a lot of them online or hook your phone up to a computer, so there was a 'tech' element to it as well, making it more unique and interesting.
Now anyone can upload any ringtone to their phone, which removed any cool factor it once had...at least that is how I remember it!
the_kid1234@reddit
Yes, I had to convert mp3s that were acquired questionably into another format with a specific name, then upload from my computer into a file system that was more complex than needed.
TheREALBaldRider@reddit
I remember wasting money on ringtones.
C001H4ndPuk3@reddit

It's set to "Old Telephone". I'm a big David Lynch fan, and I love the anxiety inducing way he uses the sound of a telephone ringing to pierce the silence, typically while ominously zooming in on the phone.
I have a damn near phobia of ringing phones as it is on account of having ADHD, so it's also partly taking control of that fear.

Ooh good one. The local Gas station register makes that noise when it rings you up

I worked in an office (Security Company) that had the same exact phones and ringtone and even the set up was somewhat the same as CTU. The manager was a big 24 fan. I just rewatched the first three seasons and I was like “oh, that’s why we had those phones and ringtones”

I went to a work thing a year ago, and an older Gen X coworker reminded us all to put our phones on silent before it started. Yeah, she's the one who has her ringer set to go off at 100 decibels (which it does several times a day). The rest of us are always on silent.
