 Musice to our ears! September 12, 2007

Basically, I bought this product, because I'm lazy, the phone rings and I run to the phone to see who is calling (caller Id) and then decide if I want to answer it or not, with Ringboxx, I just have to listen and I know who is calling, husband, sons, family etc. Its great. What I didn't expect was that my daughter (14) mentally retarded, recognizes the phone tunes and knows who is calling too! She never has had the opportunity to use the phone and now recognizing the tunes can answer the phone for the first time ever! She is now requesting more tunes for extended family members. If you should have a child or know of a child with limited abilities - this is a great product to expand their horizons! Pass the word!
 Pricey ringtones, company not upfront about no MP3 support December 27, 2007

I could not find anywhere in their product literature or on their web site, that the Ringboxx doesn't support custom ring-tones. It isn't until you set up this device that you make that realization. I tried creating and importing a custom mp3 ring-tone and it will not work. Also you can only purchase ring-tones from the company that makes the Ringboxx at $2 - $3 a piece!! Again, you only get this info during the setup process. The Ringboxx doesn't come with a selection of included ring-tones like a cell does. The 10 credits that came with the Ringboxx were only enough to purchase 4 ring-tones. Not nearly enough for my needs. By the time I purchase a memory card and enough ring-tones, I will have spent more than the device cost (which apparently I overpaid through Amazon at $59. The manufacturer has it on their site for $39). I LOVE the idea, but had I known the expense and limitations, I would not have bought it. I have since found out there are phones (Panasonic to name one) available with "Talking Caller ID" for slightly more than I paid for the Ringboxx. I wish I would have gotten one of those instead. If I cannot return this product, I will NOT be buying more ringtones unless they drop SUBSTANTIALLY in price (everyone else charges about 99 cents). So for now I am stuck with only 4 ring-tones. If they fix the afore mentioned issues, I would recommend it. But until then, I don't recommend this product.
 No custom ringtones December 25, 2007

What isn't clear from this product's description, or the manufacturer's web site, is that you have to buy your ringtones from them, and you can only use ringtones in their limited library. I hate that. I'd like to make my own ringtones so that I can use the same ringtones for callers on my cellphone and home phone, and so I can use a snippet of my caller's voice as their custom ringtone. It is really disappointing to me that this device has all the technology to make that easily possible, but they've restricted it to ringtones they sell. I love the concept of this device, but they've ruined it.
RIP OFF! December 27, 2007

I agree with the other comment. You shouldn't have to pay two to three dollars for each additional ringtone - that you HAVE to buy from them - after buying THEIR product!! Why can't it just support MP3 files? Greedy gougers! What a disappointment!

Our family has loved having custom songs for each caller to our home phone. It is very useful knowing who is calling before you get up to go to the phone. We set a specific tune for any caller that we don't know, which is an easy way to screen unwanted solicitations. Our kids have had fun putting their favorite tunes with their friend's calls. It's a great product that has worked without a flaw. I highly recommend the product. You will love the extra flare it brings to all your incoming calls.
