Human Voice Ringtones
$$ US
For a short period of time I worked at a prestigious institute at a major
university and my secretary had a secretary. Between the two of them,
Inever had to answer my own phone directly. There was a little speaker
on my desk and I’d hear a message: “Mr. Bradbury is on the line.” And
then I went back to the real world, where I had to answer my own phone.
Somewhere back at the dawn of telecommunications time it was
decided to alert phone users of an incoming call by ringing a bell.
Then it became an electronic tone, and with the arrival of cellphones
many of us chose to use snippets of music.
Now you can get that human touch — in an electronic sort of way —
back into your phone. Human Voice Ringtones delivers more than 900
different voice sets for e-mail, text messages, calendar notifications,
and just about anything else that would otherwise beep on your phone.
The eight different voice sets include female or male business, cool,
regular, or sexy. There are also some funky and mysterious versions.
And an equivalent set is also available in French or Spanish. Bonjour
señor!
