"Incoming" as a text alert

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I'm sure someone said they had this on here but I can't find it for the life of me, and as I don't have the wit or wherewithal to slice up the track and not have 5 minute text alerts would it possibly be possible for that kind person to let me have it?

Pretty please? With sugar on top...

Cheers

Oh, OK then. PM incoming!
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

That's the problem when Heartlanders get together, half of us probably has the same text alert :lol:

Waking up to that text alert isn't very pleasant at all.

Turn your phone off before you go to sleep. :P

I never remember to do that. I really should though, seeing as my best friend has moved to Australia and doesn't quite understand the whole timezone thing and frequently calls/texts me in the middle of the night :urff: :urff:

I used to have a phone on which I could set a timer for the sound profiles a long time ago (you know, one of those bump-into-everything orange nokias) though sadly that's passed away a long time ago and I now find to have a hard time remembering that too :lol:

It was possibly me originally. Got Incoming for text and Driven Like The Snow for ringtone. Although it took me a little while on my new phone. Canadian phones have protection to stop people using their own mp3s as ringtones.
Luckily it only took a few minutes (once I had the right software) to hack through that nonsense!

...and here (233kbyte) you'll find my ringtone. A slightly recut version of incomming with guitar riffs, and quite alot of dynamic compression to make it more suitable to phones.

Scares the s**t outta folks on my SonyEricsson W800i. 8)

Edit: Nah, not compression. But altered levels. My memory let me down.
