Product Description
Cell phones have unique ringtones, why can't your home phone? Now it can with the Ringboxx from Home Phone Tunes. The Ringboxx brings fun and entertainment along with distinctive ringtones to landline telephones. Choose from thousands of ringtones you can associate with different phone numbers. Like Psycho for your mother-in-law, or mafia father for those pesky telemarketers. The patent pending technology allows users with Caller ID to associate specific phone numbers with individual phone numbers. If you don't have Caller ID, or just don't want to assign ringtones to specific callers, simply select the All Play mode in the preferences section of your software. This feature allows your Ringboxx to cycle through all the ringtones in your library. With the Ringboxx you can also set your preferences to recognize 1-800 numbers. No longer do you have to guess if it's a telemarketer calling. You can choose between assigning them specific ringtones to add some entertainment to the intrusion, or silence them altogether. The Ringboxx comes fully equipped with the ability to store approximately ten (10) distinct ringtones. Insert the optional SD card and the Ringboxx become virtually limitless allowing you to store hundreds of ringtones. The Ringboxx features a quality speaker along with a volume control that allows you to determine how loud you want your ringtones. Using the up and down arrows on the front of the box, set the volume that's just right for you. And for people who are looking for more, just plug in the optional speakers (not included) and amplify your experience to a whole new level. Because of the audio sound, the Ringboxx is a great gift for people who aren't as mobile. With customized ringtones it's easy to know who is calling without having to get up and read the Caller ID. No more searching for lost glasses or rushing to the phone only to find out it's a telemarketer.

Now allows custom ringtones...for a price August 1, 2009
Grogster (Unified World, Earth)
OK, so they underpriced the unit (from their perspective) with the idea they'd be able to rake in the cash when people buy ringtones, therefore custom ringtones weren't allowed.
Well, they've had a (partial) change of heart and now, starting with "Home Phone Tunes PC software version 2.1.1", the customer is able to make his or her own custom ringtones, for a price. You can now buy the right to create your own ringtone (one at a time) for the same cost as buying a ringtone from HomePhoneTunes directly. So...the feeling of nickel-and-diming doesn't go away.
Hey, HomePhoneTunes. Why not just sell me a Ringboxx at a fair, all-inclusive price, with unlimited custom ringtones?
 WARNING: Don't buy this if you like to customize your ringtones. December 28, 2008

You cannot create custom ringtones.
All you can do is purchase somewhat cheesy ringtones off their website for additional money.
If you have custom ringtones on your cell phone, and you'd like to have them at home, KEEP LOOKING.
The early promotional literature mentioned that you could customize your ringtone, but they must have removed that option so you HAVE to spend more money with them.
Also, look at all the positive feedback. They all seem to be located in the same city as the company.
Worked great at first, then broke, No phone Customer Support December 3, 2008

The Ringboxx worked perfectly for about 4 to 5 months, then it stopped working. I emailed SUPPORT because there was NOT a phone number listed anywhere on the website. I have played email tag with one of the support people for weeks, and still have not received any answers on how to fix it. Being somewhat of a computer geek, I tried everything logical to do to make it work, but it does not. It powers-up with the correct lights burning, but when the phone rings, it does not play anything. As of today, I emailed the company to ask for a tech support TELEPHONE NUMBER. The warrenty is for 90 days, so I'm out of the money. It is a GREAT idea, but if it inoperative and there is no phone tech support, you would be better off to buy a telephone with built in ring tones. "If" I hear from tech support, I will make another post and add a few more stars.

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

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!
