I’ll never forget my first phone, a Sony Ericsson candy bar beauty, came with System of a Down’s Toxicity as a polyphonic ringtone, introduced me to the band. Simpler times.

I’ve been along for the ride through the entire cell phone development from bag phone till now and I have never seen any ringtones that were manually entered like this. What phones were these for?

Can somebody take this writing and convert it into what it actually would have sounded like and post it?

I was so proud of my programmed ringtone. Alien Ant Farm’s version of Smooth Criminal was perfection

I thought the end of that song was either “Diana” or “Viagra” over and over again. I had to look up lyrics to learn it’s “I Never”

Spent an entire road trip figuring out Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds note by note. The compliments I got on it was worth it.

I was born in 1989, and I recognise these. My partner was born 1995 and has no idea what I’m talking about.
I guess that’s the divide between growing up with the Internet, and growing up with internet fast enough to download multimedia.

I had completely forgotten about this! I remember the feeling of getting a tone *just* right! What a time to be alive.

I just imagine aliens finding that and trying to figure out what the hell that’s all about. Or future humans, thinking they’re some hieroglyphs… I still remember all those old nokia tunes vividly! I remember my brother playing a super long one when he had a new Nokia and we were all super impressed. Nice times.
