Nokia's with VERY LOUD Ringing.

[James311084]

Hi people. I'm looking for a Nokia mobile phone with very loud ringing. Can anybody tell me what models have them please?

hi James, my husband had a similar problem. The phone he got from the phone shop was a black nokia, with a slide up and down screen, one of the latest but not one of the very expensive range. I am sorry I cant remember the number.

The man in the shop also told him that he could download a very loud ringtone on to it for him as they had some. Apprently there is some software with very loud ringtones so maybe if u asked at yr shop they could help.

hope this helps.

I have the Nokia 5220 XpressMusic, not one of the latest Nokias by all means, but when it is set on the ringing tone of vintage type dial phone, it is quite loud.

I have a Nokia N95, my housemates are always mentioning how loudly my phone rings - they tell me they can hear it ringing from the other end of the house. Which is great for me - i'm always leaving it in random places.

It also helps that I'm using an MP3 of MGMT "Kids" - these days most music is mastered unneccessarily loud, and dave fridmann is one of the worst culprits.

It'd also be easy to make your own loud ringtone - download a free audio editor (i recommend http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) and find your desired ringtone or song, cut it down to a sensible length (30 seconds is long enough), boost the volume, save as an MP3 and upload to your phone.

Myabe you need a phone that vibrates too, I often find the vibrate mode makes me able to detect the ringtone better, although sometimes it makes you feel like you need the loo.. Ha ha.

If you can't hear the phone ringing, how do you hear the person on the other end who will be speaking far quieter than an ear screeching ring tone?

agree with KOS and another
put it on vibrate ... stick it where it's dark and quiet - you'll know when it rings
