What's scary, the fact that the phone can do that (not scary at all) or
why she set the phone up to play that song only when *you* phoned her?

Most phones can give you a different ring tone for different incoming
numbers if you set it up - she obviouslt set it up that way to avoid
embarrassing moments

You can set up 'groups' on Nokia's. My family - wife, daughters, in
laws etc had one ring tone, mates another & anyone else a third one.

Yeah, mine does that - could be useful, I suppose.
There's probably an app to append individual ring tones to specific
numbers.

Nope, its standard in most modern nokias.

Some panasonic cordless phones even let you
attach a recorded message to each number or
group so it announces who is calling so you
don't have to look at the screen to see if its
worth answering etc.

My old Nokia 6680 did that, it was vaguely amusing to change people's
names to swear words in my phone book so that my phone would randomly
swear at people.

More importantly you can set some numbers to silent.

I thought most phones could be set up to play different ringtones depending
on who the call is from. a number of people have the Star trek red alert
sound with Its the wife over it for the wife.

Great feature ... you set up known callers with audible ringtones, and
then leave the volume down for anyone else. Sort of jerrybuilt ACR.
Although my last Nokia would actually speak the name from the contacts
list - great when driving.

And saves you having to remember what ringtone you have on which group etc.

Only way to go IMO.

My aged Motorola has what I consider a bug, but they think it is
a feature. The conversation went a bit like this (snipped from a
series of emails):

Customer (Chris Dixon)
I have set a default ring tone and also a discrete beep for SMS.
I have chosen a ring tone for a particular caller. When I
receive an SMS from that caller I get their ring tone, not the
default SMS tone.

Dear Customer
In relation to your query, the reason why you get the Ring Tone alert as the SMS alert also is due to the fact that you have selected a particular Ringer ID you want for that person. If that person rings you or sends you a text message you will be nofitied by that alert you have chosen for that person.

Customer (Chris Dixon)
So, whilst you have lots of options to enable the user to
differentiate between calls from those in the address book, you
have made a decision to arrange matters so that, if you use this
facility, it is no longer possible to tell a phone call from a
text message?
I cannot believe that you did this deliberately, surely it is a
bug?

Dear Customer
This is just the way the unit was designed.
When you select a Ringer Id for anyone,then whenever they send you a TXT ,Fax,email or call you,then the Ringer ID you have slected for that person ,will go off.

Chris

And I would say it is not a well known song. It's older than her.

Agreed about the 1100 - mine took a slide under me when I came off my
bike when it was 6 months old in 2005. Just got a new cover off ebay, no
leaking LCDs like the modern stuff. Got a new battery this year. Now 732
hours 54 minutes on the clock!

You know you can drop the 1100. I have a feeling that just putting the X6-00
down onto a table too hard will break it.

I just know that if I throw it at an apprentice it will break! They are
trained to duck.
