Converting and downloading ringtones was such a pain. It was almost worth paying $2.99 plus $20 in data charges for a 30 second clip that sounds like it’s playing on a victrola.
Actually did this for O Green World by Gorillaz when I was 13 in '05. When the bill came in, my dad beat me senseless with those old jumper cables. Man, I loved that funky little ringtone.
Two throwbacks in one.
Bonus points if you transferred the file to your phone via IR.
I used to have a different ring tone for every friend. I still think of them when I hear “their” song.
It’s still like that with iphones
The Saw killer planning his next 10 films worth of traps.
In some ways though that was kind of part of the fun. You had to really want the song to be willing to do that lol
I remember programming the songs by pressing the buttons in the right order from some website.
Yup, on my Audiovox 8910, using a special USB cable and some obscure qualcom softwares, to access the “file system” and put a wav at the right place, and it had to be mono 8bits or something.
I didn’t want to pay $5 for a 10 seconds ringtones sample of a song. I did it myself :)
every time someone reposts this I wonder if this is one of those AI generated photos in which everything in the photo looks vaguely identifiable but it’s not really identifiable because it’s AI and not real. But the man is a man. I know that much.
No I can see some stuff I can recognize
ah ok
