House phone ringtone is Pachelbel's Canon in D, mobile is old fashioned telephone ringtone. I find a lot of the ringtones just blend into background noise so are no good in noisy environments.

I dont have a clue. I would have to ring it to find out.
But that was the reason we chose it. It is a non-commital type tone. Most of the choices were high pitched, or sounds that would irritate us very quickly.
Only the one sound for everyone though. I wouldnt want loads.

Not done any of these yet. I could, but my grandsons are too young to show me how yet. wink

Different tones for family but my favourite for incoming texts, Crickets, reminds me of sunny days and cicadas.

The 'real telephone' tone is very popular at the moment and I keep thinking it's mine when it isn't. I used to have a musical one but missed a call when I was in a shop as I thought it was background music.
Earlier this week at a cricket match we heard a duck quack ringtone. Very appropriate for a cricket fan.

Different tones for different categories - family, friends, medical contacts. Oh, and one that sounds like a cat mewing for a couple of catty grin friends - but I forgot that was what I had allocated them, and spent some time looking for the poor moggy that must be trapped somewhere in the house.

I like a telephone to sound like a telephone, so both my mobile and land line have variations of normal 'ring-ring' tones.
What tones or music do you have on yours?
