"Is that you?"
"No, I think it's you."
"No, that's your ring tone."
"Are you calling me?"

I think it's a great idea, especially if I could customize it by dialee (playing raspberries over and over for my in-laws, say). I'd also like to customize the ring tones people hear when they dial my phone (same thing). |

DrCurry, they have phones that allow you to specify different rings for different callers. |
