Failing that, move it to the corridor outside, and let natural selection take its course as it gets moved further and further from its starting point. Or possibly goes on a random walk.
When previously working in an open plan office I seriously considered a mobile phone sin bin. A small, correctly sized, faraday cage which, when the phone is dropped inside, cuts it off from it's base station and renders the office tranquilly quiet once more.
As an alternative turn the phone off and leave this on their monitor.
The last time I saw a Jamster ad in the TV paper, they were proudly describing the frog as the most annoying tone! and seemed to be using its annoyingness as a selling point. I despair of human nature.
I regularly did this to unattended mobile phones. Co-workers would cringe in the "uh-oh, I am not getting involved here" way when I roamed the office searching for the phone we were all being annoyed by.
The creature was originally entitled "Annoying Thing" and was just an entry in some German artist's CGI portfolio. He, it would seem, is doing quite well out of our suffering now.
