I am apparently living in the dark ages because up until two days ago I had never heard of a ring back. For those of you that don't know what it is either, it's a customized tone that plays when someone calls your cell phone. The caller hears the tone rather than the actual phone ringing.
So I discovered theses when I was trying to download a ring tone for someone else. Rather than getting the ring tone ,I installed a ring back. (Please note that these are called Ring backs at Verizon and Answer Tones at Cingular) How could I not know these exist?
Tuesday night I became the proud owner of a couple of Cingular Answer tones. You can choose whether you want to randomly generate your ring backs or assign them to specific callers. For me, most callers will continue to get the regular ring tone but a few select callers will now experience answer tones when calling me. Here are the ones I currently have selected:
For my brothers and sisters (This is my favorite answer tone): http://www.cingularanswertones.com/Playtune.asp?contentID=5453054&contentTitle=Sister&audioURL=http%3A%2F%2Fvoicd%3A6824%2FAIRBOR%2F54%2F5453054%405453058%2EWMA

oh, no. I feel so guilty for not enlightening you on this. My friend Becky has a ring back, and I love calling her just to hear great music! so a warning that I may be calling you more often now ;) You can just let it go to voicemail, so I hear the max amount of music, and I get to listen to your 4 minute long voicemail message.
do you know if this is available on the Treo 300 model? I have not been able to find it in the manual.
I am waiting for the blog titled "my mom keeps calling me and hanging up". My mom did this to both my aunt and sister repeatedly until they called her back and explained that "yes, journey's don't stop believin'" does play when she calls them instead of just ringing.
