Or they could make it a ring option on your phone. Of course the other options would include; nails on a chalkboard, tarring Styrofoam, ect. Then people would gladly choose commercials over the other rings. |

Welcome to the halfbakery, [grahamhgreen]. |

I'd choose "Nails on a chalkboard" just so that I could have my own seat on the train! |

Back when I had an Audiovox phone which let me key in my own ring tone, I used the Prince of Denmark March; I don't think I've ever heard that elsewhere. On my current phone I have the opening 12-note pattern from /Starlight Express/. |
