Welcome to BBC Xtra English.
Today Kaz and Reda talk about mobile phones and ring tones that are irritating.
Nowadays you can have any kind of ring tone on your mobile phone.
Instead of the normal ringing, you can have your favourite pop song or a personalised message on your phone.
For example, a recording on your phone could say, "Hey you, answer the phone!"
Some ring tones are quite funny, but many of them are annoying.
Now a British MP is asking the government to control what he calls "the annoying nuisance" of mobile phone ring tones.
He doesn't think that there should be a ban on mobile phones. He thinks that they are a great invention. But he thinks that there should be better mobile phone etiquette.

Some emails about this ring tones:
Mohamed writes from Mauritania:
Yes, I think they are annoying!
Essam writes from Egypt
Some ring tones are bad, but others are okay. My mobile helps me in my work as I am an inspector in a oil field. Having a mobile means that I can be reached at any time.
Nour writes from Syria:
In general I don't think that mobile phone ring tones are annoying. They are a way to express your mood or your personality.
