 Like the Tunes January 24, 2008

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.
Entertaining and Works Great! January 24, 2008
John (Vancouver, WA USA)
Easy to set up and use and the on-line ringtone store that comes with the product gives you access to a wide selection of good ringtones that are reasonably priced. We assigned unique ringtones to all the people who call us the most and now we know who is calling without having to drop what we are doing and go over to look at the caller ID on the phone. Plus, we chose ringtones that match each person's personality so it's fun to get calls and hear the phone ring. Great product! Lots of fun!
A "Must Have" for Every Home Phone!!! January 16, 2008

We purchased this product strictly as a home entertainment device and have not been disappointed. Considering that our cell phone ringtones cost between $3-$5 to purchase, we find the price of HPT's ringtones to be reasonable. In addition, the fact that record company manufacturers don't allow transfer of downloads is probably what prevents the company from offering them outside of their library which by the way, seems very extensive to us. Yeah, it would be great to be able to dowload the ringtones from your cell phone to the Ringboxx but then you would incur a tranfer fee from your cell phone company.
All in all, we love the utility of the product. If you are a stay-at-home mom or someone working from the home, the Ringboxx is a fantastic time saving device. Having customized ringtones for friends, family members, unwanted "800" callers allows me the freedom to decide whether or not I need to stop what I'm doing and take that call. Not to mention, the ringtones are so much more entertaining than the standard phone ringtones. The Ringboxx is fun, it's convenient and affordable. Your kids will love it, too!!!
Great Product January 15, 2008
Crunchtime (Seattle, WA)
This is a great product and worth every penny! It saves time and hassle by not having to run to the phone every time it rings. Caller ID does not do the job because you still have to go to the phone or handset to see who it is. I have five kids and we get lots of calls. Now I can know who is calling from anywhere in the house. For a small sum I can add other ring tones. It has been more than worth it for me!
 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.
