Using Higgins wav file for cell phone ringer

#1 Post by Rands »

Like everyone, I wanted something a bit different for my cell phone ringer. So, I downloaded an audio file from the Magnum Mania page, notably Higgins "Outrageous" clip. I made the changes last night, and this morning I was at a dentist appointment with my lovely wife. Her dentist was giving her an estimate of costs for the needed work, and my phone rang with a piercing "This is outrageous, outrageous!". The dentist's entire office was stunned, hearing Higgins scream Outrageous, but the dentist was a Magnum fan, and enjoyed a good laugh.

My younger brother how often needs advice has the ringer "Problem? Problem?", which is often appropriate.

Ha!! Fantastic!!

I have gotten many a look with "Hi guys" (my generic text notification) and "Oh, my, GOD!!!" a specific text notification. ;-)

I also use the Magnum startup as my ringtone, the Magnum chime for my emails and my wife's text notification is Michelle's theme.

I'm trying to work in "Ahi sushi delivery, your wish for fish come true!" and "Scuddily Wugglies! Where'd all this money come from, you didn't do anything illegal, did you?"

Yeah, I may have a problem.
