I HATE cellphones, yet I feel like I can't live without mine. I upgrade to a new phone about every 18 months. I've had cheapo "free phones" and top end expensive ones. Price seems to make no difference in the way they perform or whether or not they will crap the bed.
I have my current one set up so that when I turn it off or on, it makes NO sound, such as some annoying jingle tone thingy. If I have a voice mail waiting, it vibrates ONCE and never makes any sound.
Regurdless of what model phone I may be using, my ringtone is Always just the simplest telephone ring sound. I find custom and/or "whacky" ringtones to be Very annoying.
Having said all this, I think having a screaming reel ring tone set for calls from fishing partners may be the best idea I've ever heard reguarding cellies. Maybe it would be possible to add someone screaming "Fish On!" in the background!

I am getting close..last night I got the screaming reel/fishon wav file, edited it somewhat and converted to a ring tone and even had it sent to my phone but I am having some minor cell-internet trouble downloading to the phone itself, I will work on that later tonight. I think I can do this.

If I get it working I'll tell you the steps, it sounds awesome.

I heard it go off in the other room, listened to the screaming reel voice mail you left (and heard the chuckle in the background)...I didn't recognize the number but did a reverse search and saw it was you.

Your name will be set to a screaming reel ringtone

I am not a ringtone expert but I thought there should be a way to separate the important (fishing) calls just from the tone itself. I have it working now.

There are a couple of ways you can have your phone ring to a screeming fishing reel with a fellow yelling FISHON! when one of your fishing buddies calls.

I captured the wav file above , and edited it as needed. (go to the link and right click and do a "save as") You can then use a one time free program call xingtone.com to convert the wave file and send it to your cell particular phone. It works OK but can be troublesome at times and takes a little while to get it all working.

Another (simpler but slightly poorer quality but still OK) way is to just play the tone over your computer speakers and record it on your phones voice recorder, then set it as a ringtone. (Slip told me about this...I was unaware you could do this)
Then simply create a fishing "group" on your phone and link all your fishing buddies to this fishing group. You can then assign a unique ringtone to this group..assign the fishing reel ringtone. Everyone else gets the deflult tone.

So if I hear "BZZZZZZZzz..FISHON!!! BZZZZZZ" I know that it is someone very important.

OK enough time on this, BTW who do I bill all this time I spent this morning to?
