What else are you gonna use? The other ringtones make your phone sound like a Mos Eisley cantina.

Trying to call into a radio show to win an album / concert tickets was a lot of fun, too. And wrong numbers could actually start an interesting conversation sometimes.

And no, they're not available. Pulse dialing died awhile back. Touch tone dialing's demise probably isn't too far out, either.

You can still toggle between tone and pulse dialing on many devices. grin

Those were fun phones. Reminds me of summers at the farm where the phone system was a party line setup and used only four digits.

Same.

Why?

Because I needed an obnoxious ringer to be sure it could wake me up tongue

i remember my dad trying to ring up a radio station to win something and always being annoyed at how he was never caller number 15 or whatever.

then we got one of those fancy "push button" phones
