Teens Using Ringtone only Teens Can Hear
27th May. 2006

"They can receive calls and texts during lessons without teachers having the faintest idea what is going on"
Creative thinking! "Teen geeks have retro-fitted a sound called the Mosquito alarm -- normally only heard by people under the age of 20 and developed as an irritant to drive teens away from hangout spots at malls -- and made it a ringtone. Now all the kids in class can hear cell phones, which have been banned in most classrooms, but the teachers can't. The ring tone is called Teen Buzz, and it's spreading like wildfire via SMS and Bluetooth." Via Rawfeed.
