    On a Moto phone, you edit the entry in the address book to select a
    different ringtone than the default one.

    Sender Customized Ring Tones

    What does it take to select a custom ring tone that you can 'send' to
    someone you call?

    An individual did this to me on a couple of occasions. The effect wasn't
    quite what he expected. Since everyone has downloaded some cutesy ring
    tone, I picked a rather peculiar sounding one so when my phone goes off
    in a crowded area, I know its mine. So, when this guy calls and my phone
    plays his ringtone, I figure it must be someone else's.

    I disabled the Ringer ID feature on my phone (a RAZR) but I can't recall
    ever seeing something about how to send a custom ring tone attached to
    my calls to another device.

    That's how I can set a ringtone for my own phone.

    My question is: can a ringtone be specified by the caller?

    Oh, sorry... No, ringtone choices are the sole realm of the person
    you're calling. Their phone, their service, their choice.

    I can think of one possible mechanism:

    My new LG phone has the ability to maintain a "name card" that you can send to
    another user as a text message. In effect it becomes an entry in the
    recipient's address book. Maybe your phone is (or was) set to accept such
    entries and incorporate them automatically. On my (Verizon CDMA) phone a
    ringtone isn't one of the fields you can include in a name card, but that may
    be different on your phone and/or that of the sender.

    Hmm. My RAZR has some "MMS Templates" which include animated graphics
    and audio clips to which text messages can be appended.
