I made my own using audacity.  I used "Pursuit" and the theme...but I did something a little sneaky to get past the 30 second limit on my iPhone.  I created something 30 seconds or less, then uploaded it via iTunes...THEN I used an application called Diskaid that allows you to access all of your files on your iPhone and replaced the short ones that I had uploaded with the full versions of it (you have to name them the same thing to copy over them).  Works like a charm

I have a very awesome tone that I made from the actual show itself that I used for my text alert.  It's the conversation about Irene's text alert (it includes that text alert noise) where John asks "What was that noise?" "Text alert, means I've got a text" etc.  If anyone wants it, they can just send me a PM (it's in .m4r form).

Right now, though, all of my tones are from Doctor Who.  "I am the Doctor" and the theme song.  The text alert is the Doctor's answering machine message "Oh, Blimey, leave a message at the tone.  Sorry about this, I was looking for the BRAAAAAKES-" (beeeeeeep).  

Before all that, I had one that was Sifl and Olly, where they go "You forgot I was a ninja, mother f******!!"  That one always got looks.

Is anybody brave enough to have the "other" sound associated with Irene as their text alert?

I had posted it here but apparently it's been taken off.

I think some people have a copy of it lying around, if not PM me your email and I'll send you it in Apple and Android formats.

I most be the only person in the world who doesn't own a mobile phone! Hubby and I have one for emergencies that we use when travelling in the car but that's all. I'm half tempted to break with tradition and get a phone just so I can have a Sherlock ringtone!!

Firstly why does Sherlock now have an iPhone - they are rubbish!

Secondly, he'd needed to have hacked his phone to transfer that ringtone from his old Android and converted it to the M4A format which isn't too easy (I've written an article on how to do so, but it takes time, effort and knowledge).
