They were very clunky but were also cutting edge then. You could have a proper mp3 as your ring tone, and I added the guitar solo from this song cut out using a mp3 slicer heh..., it turned heads in the office then, before every cunt started doing it a few years later.
Now it's just cheesy..
I used to do that with an MP3 slicer and put it on my early phones which was indeed cutting edge back then. I always remember people being amazed by my ringtones. Lol, the memories indeed! Then indeed there started to be many shitty apps that did it for you, although the first ones were quite shady.
My brother has the Bod themetune as his ringtone AND his notification tone and it is really fecking annoying.
It's old hat, I have the default iPhone tone on my phone now.
I have mine on silent so much that I dont even recognise the bog standard ringtone when it rings!
😂
