My service provider is 'Reliance Communications' .
One fine day, on their own, they decided to give their customers some freebies in the form of free ringtones! Of course I became aware of this much later as one does not have a habit of ringing themselves up!
When I found out I called their helpline and explained to the nice lady on the other end that I want to be put back to my normal 'tring tring' ring-tone. She then advised me to activate 'DND' (Do Not Disturb!) through SMS from my phone but also said it will take 45 days for this to be deactivated due to procedures. I begged her with folded hand ( Not an easy task when you are holding the phone too !) to take the ring-tone out but she couldn't help
I was left cursing and murmuring to myself with with the prospect that whenever my clients call me up for some serious business they will be greeted by the popular bollywood (Hindi) no " DEKHA HAI PEHLE BAAR, SAAJAAN KA ANKHEN MEIN PYAR........"
( somewhat like " vous le vous coucher avec moi..." ringtone for a business call - not the literal translation though! - this for our french readers )

(Afterthought - hmmm.....but may be true for a certain type of business ! )
This Happened a long time ago but Just remembered this!
I tried calling my own number just now just to check!
So far so good.for related posts by the same author visit link

Haha!! Just Thank the Gods that they put on a outdated pulp filmy number and NOT a MORE sleazier song!!
OMG Reliance is the worst.......at least they did not put 'Husn Ke Laakho Rang..Kaunsa Rang Dekhoge'.............haahahahahaha!!
Reliance specialises in sending ring tunes when the subscriber wants nothing but Trring.....Trring.It is obviously a money making racket, so my driver Karan tells me.As for me I am probably the only subscriber in India to have the original Anton Karas Zither composition which is the famous Harry Lyme theme from the film 'The Third Man' (released in the mid 40's), but it is certainly no thanks to Reliance or Vodafone or....whoever. I did it my way!
I do not know Anton Karas Zither composition but I guess I will find that out when I phone you !
