True. Not a bad choice. Which I suppose makes sense given her themesong
has "call me, beep me, if you want to reach me" in it. So she'd best
have a ... euphony's ringtone.

I'm pretty sure I've heard somebody's set to the president-phone-ringtone
from the Flint movies. Of course, that seems calculated to be massively
obnoxious (in hopes of getting a cheap laugh, I suppose),
so might not be a not-bad choice.

Somebody else mentioned using an old Bell System model mumblety phone's
ring (or as close to as loud as it was as can be got). Are there any
other examples of replicating a ring from fiction or RL?
