okay so my dad walks in the room a few hours ago and says that he wants me to read this thing he got on amazon and he hands me the users guide for a cell phone. in other words, he got me a cell phone.

well ive read the instruction booklets and even looked on the nokia webiste but i can't even figure out how to change the ring tone. ive done just about everything there is to do on the phone (make movies, take pictures, mp3 player..the works, its great) but i cant fucking figure out something as simple as this and ive even explored all over the phone

my phone is the nokia 3650

please help

Why would you want to change the ring tone?

Oh, you're one of them. The little fruitcakes who have their phones play annoying songs when they ring instead of, you know, ringing.

Jeeze, set it to vibrate or something.

Then you can have them without pissing people off.

This is just a guess, but with past experiace with Nokias you must go into the 'Profiles' section, select a profile and make sure its the one thats in use. You get the options of changing the ringtone/volume/background etc.

Most people never figure this out.

Kirane beat me to it.

And I'm one of those fruity people who uses a different ringer omg. Of course, my phone is off 90% of the time, but that's besides the point.

i use the default for my v60i, the one called "continental". pretty subtle, and not obnoxious like some songs.

And ECP, shut the hell up thanks.

I like the nokia default ring tone. I'd love to get a phone that rings like that so I can go out in public, and answer it like "WHAT? .. HELLO?! .. YEAH I'M ON MY CELLPHONE! .. NO I'M AT A CONCERT!.. YEAH!"

I have mine set to vibrate. I can't hear the ringer even if it's next to my ear, it's too high pitch for my ears. Problem is I can't always tell the phone is "ringing" in vibrate mode either, especially if it's in my purse.

Maybe I should get the phone that you can wear as a necklace? The name escapes me but it begins with the letter "X."

IF hearing a non-standard ringtone pisses you off, then you've got more issues than just ringtones.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

My mother's phone rings and vibrates simultaneously. It has this irritating ring that steadily gets louder, and if it's on a hard surface it starts bouncing around.

I want to break it everytime someone calls.

There was a signature here... it's gone now.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

I only turn my cell phone on to make a call. Other than that, I wear a pager set to vibrate, so why bother with the phone? And I don't make a lot of calls on it (maybe 10-20 minutes per month). If I'm out of my pager's coverage area, then I leave the phone turned on, and wear it. It's set to a plain ring.

I plan to check with Verizon and AT&T to see if I can switch it onto a prepaid service, instead of the $40+ per month I'm paying now (month to month, so there's no plan termination fees or whatnot).

I dont have a phone right now because I'm inbetween phones right now. I have a worthless Motorola V60i that plays the tone Barbie Girl, but it never rings because I just have it on vibrate. People that have cell phones that ring=lame, unless they are soft and don't bother everyone.

am I the only one that has different ringtones for different callers? work calling? triple rings. home calling? one long ring, then a pause, then another long ring... all the most common people that call have their own ringtone, and then there's the default nokia tune for everyone else.

Still have a cell phone.

SprintPCS doesn't cover the gimp area I'm in however, so it's 100% useless.

I'm sure you've thought of this already, but if they don't cover your area (ironic since they claim to have 100% nationwide coverage), then cancel the contract as soon as you can. If the early termination fee is less than the remaining payments, cancel now. Otherwise cancel service at the end of the contract and don't renew.

Sometimes people just stop paying their cell phone bills. I know this because I often get to listen to the people's reasons/excuses for not paying bills, as retold by the people trying to collect the money owed.
