There was an excellent double ring one on the XDA2 but I don't have the phone now & have deleted my backups.
Maybe someone with an XDA2 can post it. |

@cycovision: taht`s old all right, but that`s not british. the brit one is muffled and this one is not, seems to me like the fr4ench ring with a pause:-D I like it anyway, but i`ll search for the brit one as well;-) |

I have an old bell phone which I can plug in and record using my P900.
Before I try this will the quality be OK? and will I be able to post it?
Current: K800i and an hx4700
Previous: T68 upped to T68i->T610->P900->D500 (iPAQ 3970->iPAQ 2210)

Yeah, the brit ring does sound more muffled, I'm trying to mess around with the midi instruments to get it more like the brit one 
I've searched bl**dy everywhere for a brit tone in midi format, I've only found it in realtone format so far  don't think realtones work on t610
@ghengis
Not sure about the sound quality, but it's worth a try! Problem is, you can't use recordings as ringtones on a T610, not sure about other phones though.
If it does work for P900, you can put the tone on my website, if you like. That way, you can post it here for people to download. Send me a PM and I'll give you my email address so that you can email the tone to me and I'll stick it on my site

Found a 'ring-ring' tone here, but it's still not what we're after!

It's called 'standard mono ring (long and boring, you won't miss it)' |

Just tried recording the ring - terrible! sounds like a rattle not a rlng. I will have a look at the ringer coil soon but it doesn't look too good. |

Look, I have an ideea but I don't know how it might work: we might find a Motorola phone ...but how do u transfer the sound cuz if u just record it , it`ll sound terrible! The polyphonic Motorolas have this vrit sound no more i think! Can some1 transfer it from a monophonic Motorola and make it a midi maybe? |

@701
Thanks for 'bumping' the thread back up the list mate 
Not sure about your motorola idea for reasons specified in several other posts on this board regarding the converting of samples / other sound formats to midi. Might be good to get that Motorola tone anyway, though
I'm still working on my 'old british telephone' midi ringtone, I haven't posted any updates because it still doesn't sound that much different to the one I've already posted I've got the 'ring' going a bit faster and I've muffled the bell sounds a bit but once transfered to the phone, it's really hard to tell the difference.
Problem is, I'm trying to do it from memory and I haven't heard an old british phone for well over ten years. I've downloaded several samples off the net but I'm rather dubious as to their authenticity. They don't seem to sound much my dad's old phone, or at least how I remember it sounding.
