Ringtone

Ringtones are a feature of the Telefang series. Accessed by the D-Shot's Melo-D menu, ringtones are a way to customize the Denjuu in your contact list.

Name Etymology

A ringtone from Telefang 1

"Melo-D" comes from the original Japanese D-mero (Dメロ), with the D presumably standing for Denki (電気), meaning electricity, and mero, short for melody.

List of Ringtones in Telefang 1

Composing an original melody, with the translation patch applied.

In Telefang 1, there are 71 premade ringtone melodies available, and space for 8 original melodies to be written by the player. Each Denjuu species is assigned a premade ringtone, usually shared between evolutionary members. When changing a contact's ringtone, the player can choose between the default ringtone, the Denjuu's personal ringtone, or any of the 8 original ringtones.

When creating an original melody, the D-Shot's keypad is utilized in selecting notes and editing pitch, tempo, and length of notes. Original melodies can be transferred between players with use of a link connection. Original melodies could not be composed in the bootleg.

Telefang 2

In Telefang 2, the use of ringtones was changed somewhat. Original melodies are no longer available. Denjuu are also not assigned species-dependent ringtones, but instead may use any available ringtones. Default ringtones available depend on the current model of D-Shot that the player is using; each D-Shot comes with three rings and three songs.

Downloadable ringtone melodies, named after various Denjuu, can be retrieved from D-Mode and used by any D-Shot model. They are unlocked by completing various actions throughout the course of the game. The downloaded tones available are version-dependent, but can be traded over link cable with another player. Up to three of these can be chosen for use at a time.
