I searched the forums and I cannot believe we have not had a thread on this yet!

Last day, I heard my partners ringtones and they ALL had EMS related ones. I usually use the default one! I felt so left out! I have a custom guitar one that I wrote and played that I sometimes use, a christmas ones I use around the holidays, and a custom one for an orchestral piece I wrote that won some awards and had some national recognition for posterity's sake sometimes.

Other than that, the only EMS related thing I have now is my text alert which is the set of tones from my first EMS job, also for posterity's sake.

My partners had: "Emergency!" ringtones, a "The number you have dialed, 9-1-1 has been disconnected...etc" ringtone, and some sirens.

Anyone here use EMS ringtones or am I the only one that uses "normal" ringtones?

Post what you have for calls and texts, even if they are not EMS related!
 
For my ringtone I have How far We've Come by Matchbox 20. My text tone is 45 by Shinedown. My special assigned text tone for the fire department text paging is If everyone cared by nickelback.
 
Well mine usually alternates between these two:

Ring 1

Ring 2
 
The Austin Powers theme song.


I used to have "Bad Boys", but lost it after updating my phone.
 
Depends who's calling. The default is a theme for an old show on TechTV called The Screen Savers. (Yeah, I'm a geek)
 
I have multiple ringtones that allow me to tell who is calling, at least for my prior contacts:

For calls Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant. For text messages just a cute little jingle that's not very disruptive because at work I have it set on a custom profile where only text messages make noise and calls just vibrate.

Mine is my aircraft spooling up. It is awesome. I just hit "record" one day.
 
Staying Alive - The Bee Gees.

Nothing to do with EMS, and I had it long before they determined it had the perfect count for doing new CPR. I just thought Travolta was HOT HOT HOT HOT in Saturday Night Fever. B)
 
CTU ringtone from 24. Terrible show. Never like it. Makes me want to petition my local member of parliament for the right to perform summary executions internationally.

But I love the ring tone. It's not loud when you're near it but you can hear it for miles and through anything. Phone in your pocket? No problem. Stuffed deep in you bag, not a worry. Encased in carbonite and hanging on the wall of a giant space slug's court? Loud and clear.

And it has a long pause from the first ring, so when I'm walking to my phone/pulling it out of my pocket, it's not p***ing me off. B)
 
If it's dispatch - a siren ringtone
If it's a supervisor - Darth Vader's march song from the Empire Strikes Back
If it's one of the security teams I work for - the theme from Swat
Family numbers are programmed with a carribean reggae song
All other numbers have the generic ringtone
 
Hahaha
