Call Waiting
The best ring tone on the Motorola v710 is definitely "Notify." It's a distinctly modern simulated ring, in bursts of a second or two, pleasant to the ear and not cheesy. It's different from the rings for line 1 and line 2 on my landline phone, so it works well. It sounds crisp. If I am out I have my phone on vibrate, but when I am home I set the v710 to "Notify" and don't get sick of the ring when I get a call.
The whole craze with ringtones based on songs is a little puzzling. It might be funny for your phone to play Beethoven's Fifth the first time, but the novelty quickly disappears and the repetition becomes annoying. "Notify" is a no-nonsense ring that sounds pleasant without getting old. No matter the frequency of incoming calls, "Notify" stays fresh.
