Question 1 Have you set-up any unique EARCONS on your phone?

Question 2 Do you think mobile phone should have a different sound to the caller if your phone is busy? 

Question 3 Would you like to set-up your phone so that if persons A, B, or C (your favorite people) call you and you're on your phone would you like them to hear something other than "beep … beep …. beep" (means your phone is busy)? 

Question 4 Would you like your favorites to hear some other message on their phone when you're busy – like maybe a warble tone or a siren sound or something else which means "You're my favorite person, call me back right away"?
