listen carefull to special you hear ...--... , ...--... which is morsecode for SMS, SMS.
listen to Ascending you hear -.-. --- -. -. . -.-. - .. -. --. .--. . --- .--. .-.. . or CONNECTING PEOPLE in morsecode (Nokia slogan)

Well, to read "Connecting people" you'd probably need some radiop experience, but I thought everybody can read "sms"... simply because it is so darn close to "SOS" which is ...---... and should have been well known even to a non-trained ear.

Actually I did not like initially that tone - I am very much against distress signals usage in ads, FM-radio stations or anywhere else since it compromises the idea of a distress signal
