A Condom Ringtone for Mobile Phones courtesy BBC & Gates Foundation

The BBC World Service, in an effort to prevent transmission of HIV in India, has created a free ringtone for your mobile phone that chants like "condom, condom…"

The idea is to make the word ‘condom’ more socially acceptable here.

If this sounds a bit embarrassing or funny, hit the play button above or download the MP3 ringtone here (680 kb) - pretty creative and you may actually like it.

The project is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Nice BBC effort, but we are Indians and I have doubts that the ‘Spiritual India’ would rather accept it or we have to see is the younger gen dare to use this? ;)

That is awesome, I will be using it for sure. A bit embarrassing, but it will generate the awareness it is trying to create! Maybe we should use it at the blogcamp kerala too

Hmmm !
will use it when i will be counted in 18(adult)

That is just a bit over the top, don’t you think, BillyG? I wonder just how much money was spent coming up with that — and if that money couldn’t have been better spent just handing out condoms on the street.

Awesome, I going to use it in my mobile. :-)

I use that and my mom will kick me out of the house and my girl friend will start thinking that I’m a jerk, so not using it. (:

Very nice ring tone. Now let’s start a hunt for that single brave person who will actually have this as his/her ringtone.

haha this is definitely going up as a ringtone. The composition is excellent.

I want this one to motivates to all my friends, neighbors, relatives, etc

YES!!!!!! I totally love the Coondooooom Vibrato. Genius!

Yaaaaaaaaaa!When i saw this add in T.V. at that time i thik that this a very simple way to aware about CONDOM and peoples are taking it seriously.

i think use of condoms is no more a embarrassing thing but it is the decrees in satisfaction that is making plp stay away from it.hope plp relies soon enough that small sacrifices save life & makes us live in peace.

lol - this is just too insane - why - o pray why would anyone spend money on this?!! who’s going to use it? Hmmm - need to have a rethink on your advisors Bill, im sure there’re better ways of getting people to put on condoms and prevent STD’s

looking add on tv is good but implementing is must to avoid HIV/AIDS. Thanks. but free distribution is must over all telecommunication basically as offer.on Health day/AIDS day

i find it best way to make aware people about condom.i am using it as a contribution from my side to serve india in hiv

the download section of this site isn’t working. Is there another place to get it?

I too feel that condom ringtone has to be used by every educated person for awarness among people who take risk of unsafe sex.

Hi i am Harpreet kaur i am 20 yrs, Plz tell me abt the full detail of condom and hiv can i do sex without condom with every person but if my boy friend use condom it is not give me full satisified.

it’s a public awareness and a social work in removing the hestation among the youngsters and other people too.

please send the condom ringtone to my email, cause i can not download from the links.
Thanks

In India we still feel odd discussing sex or any aspects of it with elders, but we all are aware of it. If you one is service class professional or even business class it will sound so weird using this ringtone. This is a good way making it so common among people as we all do that western people do behind doors we just pretend out of it.

i wantetd to get this condom ringtones but i cant dowload this ringtone, can any body give this ringtone me on my mail address.

thanks from shamal

this ringtone will help in creating positive sign about the word condom. it will also help in making condom a common word.
it is good way to increase awareness in people ,of shy natured country like india.
