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.
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.
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.

It’s not idiotic, it’s awesome! Of course I remember it, I had a great one.

It’s INSANELY popular in Iran and pushed hard by the service providers
I actually called someone with one of these a few months ago. Blew my mind it still existed!
