Via Devi, Orange unveils new 'Calling Tunes' service: "Calling Tunes, as it's known, lets Orange punters choose music to play callers while they wait for the phone to be answered."
About Me
Hello you. I'm a 38-year old MSc student, studying Advanced Computer Science at Sussex University. I'm especially interested in Internet and mobile software, sensors and pervasive computing, user interfaces, and the process of developing great software.
Before that I spent 11 years running Future Platforms, a software company I co-founded which makes lovely things for mobile phones, and which I sold to Vexed Digital in 2011.
I read a lot, write here, and practice Aikido and airsoft. I live in Brighton, a seaside town on the south coast of the UK, with two cats and a clown.

They're also offering a freebie for a limited time. I picked up the Dr Who theme and now everytime some calls me, I get a 'What the hell was that?!' My Dad kept hanging up, cos apparently it sounded like he'd 'got a crossed line and someone had left their radio on'.
It might take a little while for the general public to accept these :)

It's quite fun isn't it, nobody likes the ring continuing on in the background though. If you want to hear it for free give me a bell on my work line. ;-)

Good grief - that's taken them long enough! I've had Austin Powers as a caller tune on my phone for 2 years or more (I'm on T-Mobile). And people who call me up seem to like it as I still get comments on it.
