Grand Theft Auto IV was released in 2008 and gave players a working mobile phone for receiving mission calls, texts and multiplayer invites. Its selectable ringtones, including Funkintime, became small but memorable details of Liberty City life. Fans later extracted the phone sounds for real devices and soundboards, alongside other series cues like the GTA V notification and the CJ from GTA SA lines from San Andreas. The ringtone remains popular because it instantly signals an incoming mission without needing any dialogue or music.

The Funkintime phone ringtone from Grand Theft Auto IV, the funky in-game mobile chime Niko Bellic often uses for incoming calls in Liberty City.
This is the Funkintime ringtone from Grand Theft Auto IV, a short funk-inspired phone chime that plays from Niko Bellic's mobile in Liberty City. It loops a tight, bouncy groove with a clean electronic ring layered over bass and rhythm guitar style tones, giving every incoming call a cool, late-night city feel. At just over six seconds it is instantly recognisable to players who spent hours driving, taking missions and answering calls from Roman and other contacts. The sound works as both a nostalgic game cue and a punchy notification alert.
