My call alert ringtone is Johnny Paycheck's "Take this job and shove it"
My alarm clock ringtone is "reveille".
What do you use?

BTW, people who have pop music ringtones and leave their phone unattended to ring over and over? Smashing or defenestration of the phone is perfectly acceptable, IMO. If it's something like a "fitty cent" ringtone, just throw the owner out a window as well.

I use the official Universal Studios telephone ring as used in all detective shows and such through the 1960's and 70's. It's the authoritative RING! of a massive bakelite desk phone, which causes some puzzled looks. Plus it's so ingrained in people's mind from watching old shows on TVland and stuff.
Treo? That's a ringer that comes on the Treo, which is what I use (phone and ringer). I hate ringtones that can be missed in a noisy environment. I never miss mine.

Ringtones?

So if you pick up that phone and yell in Russian or Farsi to whomever is on the other end, would that cause a problem?

And no dirty jokes about vibrating. I simply find the noise of ringtones irritating.

I fail to see the fascination with having the strangest/newest ringtone and making sure that everyone knows it. To me it reeks of a deep-seated insecurity. Of course, many people fail to see my fascination with guns and photographic equipment (to which deep-seated need it speaks, I have no idea). To each his own, I suppose.

I'd be content if I could have one of the old-school rotary phone rings, but again not something I can get on this phone.

I have no need to announce my phone's presence with a litany of pop-culture or personal-strangeness ringtones. Nothing but silence, a slight buzz, and a little falshing blue LED to let me know someone is calling.

I don't walk around with my phone in my pocket or on my hip 24/7. Sometimes, I even leave it in my bedroom upstairs when I'm downstairs. A noticeable ringer means I will hear it (we don't use the house phone, cell only). Also, my job more or less requires me to be on call 24/7 (Not as bad as it sounds), and I need a ringer that can wake me up. I only use "vibrate" when I need to have the phone with me but silent (meetings, theater, etc).

Thinking of editing down to the chorus of RE: Your Brains, and using that for some of the folks I know. which is actually the beauty of all the special ringtones: I know without looking roughly who's calling...

My usual ringtone is the Foamy ringer: "Hey! Follow the sound of my voice, and kill whoever is holding the phone!". I NEVER mistake my ringer for someone else's!
Where did you find a Foamy ringer? I assume you're talking about the squirrel...

On my privious phone I had the theme for The Simpsons, but I wasn't going to pay $2.99 for that ringtone again.
