WHAT DOES RINGING TONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ringback tone

A ringback tone is an audible indication that is heard on the telephone line by the caller while the phone they are calling is being rung. It is normally a repeated tone, designed to assure the calling party that the called party's line is ringing, although the ring-back tone may be out of sync with the ringing signal. The ringback tone is in most cases generated in the distant switch and transmitted in-band. In analogue networks the caller could therefore monitor the quality of the complete voice path of the connection before the call was established. The distant switch also sends a message out-of-band indicating to the rest of the following network that the phone is ringing. Under strict implementation of the SS7 protocol in the past, and today under CAMEL, it may be the closest switch to the caller generating the ringback tone. In most public phone networks today the ringback tone is not generated in the handset or by the local switch, as customized tones or voice announcements may be generated by the distant switch in place of a ringing signal.
