They've found ways around the madness for AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. AWESOME.
T-Mobile users seem to be screwed, however.

B-b-but... my ringtone is Stephen Colbert declaring that my phone is ringing!
Even tho I posted it, I still haven't gotten around to changing mine. Sorry, I'm a jerk. On the plus side, since everyone uses Verizon, one handy tip is just to press *, which should bypass the message and go straight to voicemail.
Didn't Will Ferrell as Robert Goulet have a ring tone that said "your phone is ringing"? That would be awesome to have.
gabe - That is seriously amazing. That would be awesome to hear. I would answer the phone laughing at my own ring tone every time!
But I was thinking of phones playing rap songs and the horrid ring each manufacturer has for their products.
waayers - That would also be amazing. I just don't want to hear Nickelback and the like.
And as much as I love Liz Lemon, I wouldn't want "Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit," either.
I was very excited about this until I got to the part about T-Mobile users being screwed. I have T-Mobile. I guess I can't use this nifty gadget, huh?
lem - Nope, you picked the wrong carrier. FAIL.
