Flintstones Ringtone May Not Bowl Your Boss Over

Cell phone provider Let's Talk provides some tips to the many naughty and inconsiderate cell phone users in the USA and around the world. Here's what Let's Talk has to say about ringtones.

Choose Ringtones You Won't Regret

The Flintstones Ringtone

Personalized ringtones have become a certifiable hit. We love the way consumers can really customize their cell phone experience, but always consider what the ringtone says about you and the environment in which itrings. Your kids may love your Fred Flintstone "YabbaDabbaDoo!" ringtone, but it might not be a hit in the board room.

The Fix: Many cell phones offer environment settings that are designed for specific experiences, e.g. the boardroom. If your phone has this feature, be sure to activate the setting to the right environment before you head into an important meeting. If your cell phone doesn't sport this feature, try selecting environment-friendly ringtones. For callers who call you during the day when you may be in meetings try a more sedate ringtone and breakout the hit song ringtones for calls you're likely to receive on weekends.

Editor's Note -- I have 57 cool ringtones on my cell phone. The one that I use most often is The Flintstones ringtone. And, yes, I do spend time in boardrooms. When my Flintstones ringtone goes off, it shows that I actually have a personality and interests outside of the work environment. I wish Bob in accounting had a Flintstones ringtone rather than that annoying cell phone ring he has. Fact is: Bob's too cheap to pay $1.99 for a Flintstones ringtone.
