Where can I buy a ringtone that sounds like a phone?

me 2, i would like an old phone rings ,etc

Apple should post in there iTunes store, free ringtones of different sounds. Not just music.

Try +"Robert Ragosta is a Ringtone"+ by Patent Pending, I find it funny and lively, ideal for a ringtone

Have to agree that while I love the iPhone, don't mind AT&T, am fine with it locked down and I never plan on hacking, when it comes to ringtones I feel Apple is just asking too much. Ok, I know the record industry won a court case saying a ringtone is a new work of art different from the original (which I disagree with) which gives them the law on their side saying they can charge for it (record industry wanted it this way as the artist doesn't get money from ringtone sales since they are considered a different work of art). But if I can make an MP3 myself (record my wife talking or record an old phone) then put it in iTunes and put it in my iPod player, why can I not put it as a ringtone since I legally own it. I made it thus not even the record industry can say I am stealing a piece of their work. On every phone that I owned since they had custom ringtones I have been able to put my own ringtones in free of charge (without hacking). I have always had recordings of my wife saying "Hey, sexy, your phone is ringing" or something similar. I hate that I cannot now when I have what I feel the best phone out right now.

Sorry Apple, I am on your side with all the bad PR coming your way about everything else, but Ringtones, come on. Go ahead and charge if iTunes knows it is your format and bought from your store thus you know the ringtone technically is the record guys art thus you have to charge to keep them happy, but if it is an MP3, technically you have no way of knowing if it is something you can charge for so just let it be free. You will make less money yes but there are plenty of non computer folks that just use iTunes and all thier stuff is from you and they will pay for ringtones.

Also, my wife (and I) was upset that we own a CD and I ripped it to MP3 and we own the songs legally, and she wanted a ringtone of one of the songs. Went to iTunes and saw I can make one (icon) but I couldn't click it because I would have to first buy the track from you (though I already have my copy) before I can opt to buy again a ringtone. You try to claim the price is .99 for a ringtone, but for everybody that had music before you guys, ringtones actually cost $2 if we want anything we already own.

The "Old Phone" ringtone, which is already included, sounds like... an old phone.

The Old Phone ring is built in. Settings/Sounds/Ringtone/Old Phone

What about the kid who is an aspiring musician? Dad bought him a Mac because it's the best for this type of creativity. Mom & Dad would like to be able to make a ringtone from their kid's Mac-assisted creativity for their iPhone. Simply a way to brag about their kid. What does Apple say? Too bad. We want your money and we could care less about you or your kid. Apple's ringtone policy is greed - plain and simple. They have no cares for the customer in this regard. Mr. Jobs, how does it feel to take off the white hat and wear a black one?

How about being able to buy the song as just a ringtone? I don't need the whole song, just the shortened version. I don't want to buy it twice.

You may want to watch what you are saying on this board. I agree with the criticism above, and have said so openly. As a result, my posts on the subject were deleted. Apple does not allow discussion of their policies on this board.

No, I am not kidding you.

Think about it...

I agree with most of the complaints on this thread. It would be a lovely feature to have the ability to add my own ringtones as long as it doesn't violate any copy protection.

I would love to have more "phone" sounds to choose from as I do not want a duck quack or a dog bark as my ringtone. I cannot stand the ringtones that Apple is forcing us to use. They suck in my opinion. I don't really want a song as a ringtone either. I want different "telephone" rings/sounds. I would love to have the ringtone as heard in the Miami Vice movie. Or the ringtone heard in the iPhone commercials (like "AMAZING" and "INSTEAD") Why does the iPhone not have the ringtone featured in their own commercials???

I hope all of your complaints have been sent to Apple's feedback section.

I agree in general with Apple about ringtones, but there is one problem. Why can't they just add an update to add more ringtones. (not musically aspired ringtones, but the ones from my old cingular phone, etc) I don't need ringtones ripped from songs, I want the old variation of ringtones from all these old cell phones I used to own. (from Cingular and AT&T, nonetheless) It would be so nice to be able to use these old ringtones that we are so used to. Even if the amount were to get too big, we can (should) be able to sync just the ones we want via the ringtones tab in iTunes.

No, I won't bother. Apple must be well aware of the issue, and made their choice, as they are clearly going out of their way to enforce their rigid policiy in this respect.

I might also add that I am a PC user, and have been for many years. I did recently start to think about switching to a Mac, for several reasons (Vista being one of them...). However, with the experience I had with the iPhone, on a number of fronts, I am not going to buy any Apple products in the future. In fact, if I wasn't past the point of no return there (I bought the phone four weeks ago), I would simply return it, and go back to using my old Razr. I might just put the thing up on eBay, though, and use a phone that works well as a phone, including featuring a speakerphone that is actually usable...

Cinemagic,

I think you are ascribing motive to Apple's actions that don't exist.

At the risk of making a so-called 'fart joke' and getting ANOTHER RINGTONE thread deleted by Apple...

What about humorous biological sounds as RINGTONES?
