y’all remember the “ring back” tones? i don’t think they ever really took off since they are a ring tone that people hear when they call you instead, which is… just… totally idiotic… but i did encounter it a few times in the wild.
I guess its gone from America but it is still very popular in india … partly because the Network Providers give it as a free feature … neat cause my friends never pick up quickly
Is the quality not trash anymore? Maybe it’s gotten better and i didn’t notice, but music over the telephone has always sounded muddy and distorted to me.
But… you never get to hear it because when do you ever call yourself? So it’s just subjecting everyone else to a song that they may not even like… And besides, the quality was like listening to an underwater phonograph cylinder.
(obviously don’t know your music taste; you may actually have had a great song of decent quality. but i wouldn’t trust everyone with that power lol)
I had something like Danger Zone, or Eye of the Tiger, to get people pumped up when they called me. I don’t remember exactly, but I thought it was fun. Nobody cared if it’s a good song. It was just a neat little gimmick at a distinct moment in time.

It’s INSANELY popular in Iran and pushed hard by the service providers
It’s not idiotic, it’s awesome! Of course I remember it, I had a great one.

I actually called someone with one of these a few months ago. Blew my mind it still existed!
