Ringtone: Silent
from iPhone Ringtones demo podcast · host Geoff Smith
Inspired by the excellent and not least elegant solution provided by iPhoneWriter.com - we thought we would pass on the concept of dealing with spammers or other unwanted calls on the iPhone. 1. Create a new contact called “Spammers” or whatever you prefer and assign the silent ringtone to that particular contact. 2. Whenever you receive calls from unwanted people, simply add their number to the “Spammers” contact in your address book and you will not be alerted at all. You can of course also use the same method and assign a funny ringtone "That Person Again" for example, so you will instantly know that it is someone from that list calling. The solution is of course not bulletproof as persistent spammers often call from different telephone numbers, but it can certainly aid you over time if you consistently filter them out by adding them to the “Spammer” contact. ------------------- To get cool ringtones that you can assign to your friends, colleagues, family etc subscribe to RingtoneFeeder today from just $1.98 per month When you subscribe to the service you will instantly get the latest 10 ringtones released and then at least one new ringtone every week for as long as you are subscribed.
