  Yes. You could pay some geek to type it in during recess.

    Or have them (or operator logos, which were effectively wallpapers) sent over RTTTL texts. With WAP, actual wallpapers, screensavers, polyphonic ringtones, games etc. became available too.

      That was a little later than 3210/3310.

        RTTTL and logos over SMS were available on the 3310. WAP came 1 year later, and the 3410 already had downloadable games.

        iirc on the 3310 you needed Nokia’s logo manager software

        The one I really enjoyed was the 8110? I think. The one that was in the matrix with the slider. That one was a ton of fun to customize, different rings depending on the group (family, friends, etc)

    Oh, I had forgotten about about that feature. I was like 4yo back then.
