This sounds like holding-queue hell.

I can't imagine anything more irritating than calling somebody and being greeted with a misnamed "Ring back".

Forgive me if I sound like I am the grown up side of thirty but I have never paid for a ringtone, never used a cameraphone (I have digital cameras for that) and I will be food for the worms before anyone convinces me to pay a *monthly* subscription to wind up my callers with an excerpt from "F***k it (I don't want you back)" or a Michael Cane quote. Every caller will think there are in holding-queue hell. Give me Brrr, Brrr any day.

Actually, just give me a reliable mobile phone without built-in redundancy and a low cost, reliable mobile service that doesn't expect my monthly contract to fund ridiculous, overpriced 3G license bids and launch spurious novelty services whilst cutting back on serious business services. So not 0range then.
