I have a LOT of ringtones. Generally I have one ringtone for calls, but I will usually order my speed dial list around so that the people I talk with the most are accessible within the numerical range of 2-20. These "top contacts" are assigned their own personal ringtone on my phone, usually a song that reminds me of them, so that way I can tell who is who by the ringtone without looking at the phone.
First are the defaults. I actually don't really like the X-Files, but I have the theme as my default call tone because of a World of Darkness campaign I was a part of. My character was a female vampire, before she was turned she ran a paranormal investigation agency, but even after she just got more into it. Anyways, our DM was very creative, if our characters got a call in-game she would actually leave the room and call our phones, so I set it as my ringtone for my character's phone. Just never got around to changing it.
So default ring:

My default text message phone is this gem from the opening of the anime Serial Experiments Lain. It's not the full song, but the first 8 seconds where the voice says, "Present day.... Present time! AHAHAHAHAHA!" :

Finally, we have my top contacts. Note that when putting peoples names into my phone I use Japanese honorifics like '-san' and '-senpai' based on their relationship with me. The only person that doesn't have an honorific is my girlfriend Trish, because at this point in our relationship we would have earned the right to call each other by our first names sans suffix in Japanese.
Anyways I take these songs and rip 30-second segments off of them (usually the chorus/refrain), and then load them on my phone.
