rachiee Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I don't even use an alarm unless I need more time to get ready in the morning. If I do use my alarm, I always use my phone because my alarm clock has a mind of its own. It randomly turns on when it's supposed to be off. D: Quote
Manta Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Ughh I always wake up a minute or two before my alarm! :laughingsmiley: I feel cheated out of that extra minute of sleep Quote
Spritzie Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I use my phone too. I have for probably 3 or so years now. It works perfectly. Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I might as well not even use the alarm to wake because my husband is the one who is always supposed to turn it off & instead he hits snooze about 5 times <_< . . . It gets frustrating Quote
rachiee Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 My phone works soooo much better than my actual alarm clock. Whenever I use my alarm on my phone I always set it at the lowest volume it can go (without being silent) and it still wakes me up :rolleyes_anim: With my alarm clock, however, I'd have to set it to be really loud, and I'd often have to wake up with Don't Stop Believin' or *insert Lady Gaga song here* blasting throughout my room at four or five in the morning. (True story.) Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 We just have an annoying beeping sound. The phone alarm works great, but most of the time are phones are on vibrate so the headboard shaking is what wakes us up. However, when my alarm on my phone goes off, it's the theme from Gremlins :D Quote
Manta Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I use my phone as an alarm when I need to, although I generally wake up on time for things :D I used to wake up to the Super Smash Brawl Main Theme, but I have it currently set to Ke$ha's Chain Reaction Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Haha, I'd love to wake up to Super Smash Bros. Brawl Theme. I used to have my text tone set to something from one of the Mario games. Now it's the Star Trek communicator sound (which my mother-in-law thought was a bird or something chirping . . .) Quote
Manta Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Yeah, it made me feel epic every morning :laughingsmiley: Hey, my text tone is the Mario coin sound right now!! :D My ringtone is a cat meowing from Riviera: The Promised Land xDDDD Quote
Spritzie Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 When my phone got replaced last year, I never replaced the ringtones, so I just wake up to a default one. It's an Asian sounding one and it's nice to wake up to. Quote
rachiee Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 My ringtone and text tone are both a vibrating sound. My phone is always set to vibrate because I hate most of the ringtones that come with my phone. XD Quote
Spritzie Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I have my phone set on vibrate only at work. (Though it's not like I get signal in my work area.) And my text messages are always vibrate as well. Quote
Manta Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 http://www.phonezoo.com/Welcome.do That's where I make all my ringtones. You can upload your music and stuff, edit it into a ringtone, and it'll send the tone directly to your phone. :) I've never gotten spam from it either, and i've been using it for nearly two years now :D Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 That's where I make mine too, Manta! Sometimes they already have what I'm looking for, but I love being able to make my own. I even got Gizmo's Song from Gremlins which is so unbelievably cute! Quote
Manta Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 *high five* Isn't it amazing? :D I love having all my favorite video game songs as ringtones :laughingsmiley: Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 *high fives back* It sure is! One of my friends uses Mixer (or something) but I just prefer PhoneZoo. Plus I can get them as multimedia texts to my phone so I don't have to pay for download usage like one of my old AT&T phones used to do with PhoneZoo Quote
Manta Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Yeah, I love getting them as texts too! :D Puts my unlimited texting to work lol :P Quote
Spritzie Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I have unlimited texts too, and I almost never use them. Outside of my carrier, I only occasionally text my dad. Otherwise, it's my husband, and his family, and they all have the same carrier. Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Exactly, Manta. I still feel so weird when I hear one of my friends tell me they don't have texting because that's pretty much all I use! Also, my husband's family is all Verizon, like us, but my family isn't, so texting comes in handy. Not to mention we live in the country & get zero cell signal in our own home :( Quote
Spritzie Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 That's how my family is. We're Verizon, as well as all of his family. My entire family has AT&T. :laughingsmiley: But we got a phone plan with friends and family, so we made my family's cell phones, home phone, his parents' house phone, and our best friends on our list. Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Looks like you lucked out then! :) I actually don't talk on the phone much with my side of the family because most of them are online. His family is very . . . "involved" so they are always texting, calling & wanting to know what we're up to Quote
Spritzie Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I don't talk to my family on the phone much. I talk to my dad at work generally, either on the Office Communicator, or I go up to his desk. With my mom, we talk on the phone a tiny bit, but it's usually for a reason. I generally drop by after I get off work on Wednesday afternoons and we hang out and do whatever for a few hours. And my sister, well, she doesn't talk to any of the family much. It's been probably 6-7 months since I've seen her, and probably 3-4 months since I've talked to her otherwise. My husband talks to his family a LOT. (My family is all local. My parents are about 10 minutes away, and my sister is about 2 hours. His family is all in Florida.) He talks to his parents either every day, or every couple. His sister, probably once or twice a week, and same with his grandma. Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I feel bad for not talking as much with my family, but online is just easier, because they are farther away than his family is. Also, his family is nosy (involved really just doesn't cut it) & want to talk to us a lot more than I wish they did. But it's okay as long as they don't try and give advice too <_< Quote
Spritzie Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 My family is anti-technology. Well, except for my dad, who's job is technology. But we're able to talk online at work. (He only has the messaging program at work, so I can only talk to him when we're both at work.) Otherwise, if it's not important, he'll send me an email or text. My mom doesn't use computers at all, or text messages, so it's all phone calls or physical visits with her. With my sister, she's online, but we only exchange emails, and rarely texts. His family is all on Facebook and into all the tech stuff. Quote
Naamah D. Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I couldn't survive without technology. That's what all my interest are based on(Other than writing my book, but I type it). Quote
