I was searching all over for a decent dial-up modem ringtone for my iPhone for the longest time, but just couldn’t find one that I liked. So I decided to make my own. It was a major pain in the ass. Seeing as how I haven’t used a dialup modem since around the year 2000, and I only had one system that still has a dial-up modem. Then I had to find a dialup service to test with. Then record. Then edit. Then convert. But after much doing and a little geeking out, the result is 10 seconds of retro goodness that will make your friends jealous. I settled on this 10 second slice as my favorite in the modem handshake sequence. I think it makes the best ringtone and is the perfect length too.
So go ahead and download my freshly made 56k Dialup Modem Handshake Ringtone for your iPhone. Once you’ve downloaded the ringtone simply double click and it will be imported into iTunes as a ringtone. Enjoy!
UPDATE: as requested in the comments below, here is a 56k Modem Ringtone in .mp3 format for Android users as well. Go nuts.

Fastest reply to a blog post ever… I’ll edit and upload an mp3 in a moment.
Wow, I just noticed it was six minutes. I promise there was no stalking involved. I opened my reader and it showed one new.
Post has been updated to include Android ringtone support in .mp3 format. Have at it.

I was just chatting with @beley over Twitter saying how awesome a 56K handshake ringtone would be and he shared this page with me. Very happily retro now!
