    Me too, mine plays Paradise City (Gn'R) and it's not a ringtone, it's the actual track. I love receiving all the nuisance calls because I can just listen to the music :D

    I don't think it's embarassing at all - however, my OH finds it terribly embarassing because he hates Guns n'Roses, he likes Ken Boothe.....................:o

    I would have thought sweet child of mine would have made a better ring tone.

    Maybe but it's one of my least favourite Gn'R tracks (I know, I'm strange!) I tried Jungle because I love the intro but it didn't really work. So Paradise it is, I LOVE that song :)

    I think that's the trouble, it's almost too perfect!!

    I like my text alert as well, it's The Chain (BBC F1 bit) - I like getting texts too :)

    I would love to just have my iphone4 in vibrate only mode but I would never feel it. I have it in a leather case to protect it and you can hardly feel the vibration at all unless you are actually holding it. There is no way to make the vibrate mode stronger either.

    Mine is the "one missed call" tune. Not so bad but I forgot to switch my phone off at the cemetery.

    My son was grading for a belt in karate today and in the hushed silence someone's phone burst in to life with Carl Douglas's 'Kung Fu Fighting' which was as funny as it was embarrassing.

    My ring tone is currently Jingle Bells (ok, I know but it's Christmas) and my text alert is na, na, na, na, na I've got a text.

    My husband's ring tone when I ring him is warning it's the wife ~ cheeky bugger!

    What can I say, I love Meerkats so have a themed message tone. My current ring tone is Pink Panther, perhaps I should grow up.

    I think some are very embarrassing, not to say totally naff.

    MInd you, my blackberry ring tone only rings twice before going to "missed call", so I have to be quick. No idea how to make it ring for longer.

    My son once changed the ringtone on his dad's work's phone to YMCA - Mr dolphin is a bit of a technophobe so had to live with it all day until my son could change it back.;)

    My ringtone is currently Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) just because I love the intro to that song. Before that it was the chorus to "Runaways" by The Killers.

    My message tone is from the tv show Supernatural, Dean Winchester doing his best "Son of A Bitch!!!" It's got a few funny looks for sure, especially when I'm on the train :D

    My ring tone is Machine Gun by The Commodores, I love that song and the actual track works really well as a ringtone. My message tone is sleigh bells at the moment.

    My ringtone is The Sisters of Mercy 'Dominion' but my fellow manager insists that it is The Cult every time it plays so might change it to something really obnoxious to annoy him ;):D
