About Dot-Dash-Ring tone
Dot-Dash-Ring generates a distinct ringtone in Morse Code for each incoming caller. Your smart phone will encode a new ringtone in Morse Code from either your contact list or the incoming number. The identity of incoming callers repeats in Morse Code three times or until you answer. Blocked numbers will not be revealed; nothing is stored on your phone or in the cloud. Only those who know Morse Code will know who's calling you.
You can toggle between Morse Code as audible rings and vibrate mode,
as well as change the speed of the encoded ringtones. Toggle and speed slider found on the first page of app.
Dot-Dash-Ring app works best on alpha-numeric data and if your Contact List does not include the US Country Code (+1). Non-English characters will be encoded as ? i.e., dot dot dash dash dot dot.
Dot-Dash-Ring app features a Morse Code lookup table on page two. As you gain confidence in recognizing patterns of dots and dashes, you can increase the speed of the coded ringtones.
Please be sure to say "yes" to permissions when installing the app. If you accidentally said no, go to Applications -> Dot Dash Ring -> Permissions and say yes there. The ringtone will automatically take effect when installed and bypass other ringtones. To remove Dot-Dash-Ring, uninstall the app.
Dot-Dash-Ring app celebrates the world's first mobile messages on land, telegraphed between moving trains and railroad stations in Binghamton, NY and Scranton, PA, a year and a half after the Titanic signaled rescue ships in Morse Code. Profits from Dot-Dash-Ring support development of TechWorks!, a showcase of Upstate NY technology in a vintage ice cream factory down the street from the Binghamton railroad station that received the first mobile message in November 1913.

Morse Code - it rings a bell.

It's easy to use. Just install and your ringtones are now morse. However the app only has one setting, speed. The slowest speed is fine, but anything faster is too fast, so the setting is useless. Also, there isn't a long enough space between words. If your contact name is Sam, then the ringtone isn't "Sam sam sam sam". Rather, it is "samsamsamsam". I have a galaxy s5. So maybe the Morse is slower on different phones.
