I’ve been making good use of my ability to turn any song in my iTunes libarary into a free iPhone ringtone, and now have several custom tones set up to denote different callers.
Sitting at my desk just now, finishing up the day’s work and playing around on various websites, I suddenly got a call from my parents. At 1.30 am UK time.
Not having learned my lesson from last time, I freaked out and started trying to answer the call. Except I couldn’t quite figure out how… the usual button hadn’t popped up…
Oh. Right.
The iPod was on shuffle.
It was playing the song I took my parents’ ring tone from.
D’oh!

    My phone just rings like an old fashioned phone. If you think that wouldn’t cause any confusion, maybe you don’t have an mp3 of CAKE’s “No Phone”. The opening bars sound like my cell phone ring tone…
