The Mosquito Ringtone is now Available in Multiple Languages!
We recently added the ability to download and use the Mosquito Ringtone in 23 different languages. By using the Google Translation engine, we will be able to rollout other languages as soon as Google adds them as an option. While the mosquito ringtone was conceptualized in Wales, it quickly spread around the world. It has become a worldwide phenomenon due to the fact that there is no language, no deciphering, just tones! While it may be multi-national in use, it seems to be most popular here in the United States.
The translations will be completed as quickly as time allows, due to certain technical restraints, we can only translate pages every few minutes through the translation engine. All pages in all languages should be completely translated in a matter of days. Enjoy the teen buzz ringtone no matter what country you are from!

Buzz Off – the Anti-Mosqutio Movement Scores a Victory

The Children’s Commissioner launched the buzz off campaign and with the help of The Liberty group won a small victory last week by getting the Kent County Council to ban the mosquito devices from buildings in its jurisdiction. They started the Buzz Off campaign in February 2008. They soon hope to get a similar law passed by the government and prevent the use of the Mosquito in everywhere in England.
According to this BBC Article, 3500 mosquito devices are in use throughout England.
This really doesn’t affect the use of teen buzz, the mosquito ringtone but, it’s interesting to see that even many adults are appalled by the use of such a device even when they can’t hear it.
I could certainly go on and debate the issues involved with the device but this site is about the teen buzz ringtone a.k.a. the mosquito ringtone.
That “Other” Buzz… The Mosquito Ringtone vs. Vibrate
A common argument against the use of the mosquito ringtone has always been, ‘why not just set your phone to vibrate?’ Often the name of this setting is labeled “silent.” Unfortunately, from my experience and from the experiences of many of my friends, the vibrate setting is anything but silent. Particularly in the classroom setting where the environment tends to be very quiet, the loud buzzing of a vibrating phone can be heard pretty clearly. In the middle of a test or a lecture the pressure of the phone against another object in a bag, on a desk, or even in a pocket can create an easily identifiable buzzing sound that adults most definitely can hear. The mosquito ringtone is an almost guaranteed promise that the only ones that will be hearing your phone are you and your classmates. Even if the mosquito ringtone can be heard by a teacher chances are he/she won’t realize that it’s coming from a phone. It sounds more like a timer or a watch going off. Whereas if the teacher happens to hear the loud buzzing of your vibrating phone, their going to know exactly what it’s coming from. Am I the only one who has experienced getting caught with their phone on vibrate? I don’t trust it!
