Well, the last time I commented on this vis. what calling party hears when
the called party phone is ringing, Jock Mackirdy disagreed and the
redoubtable Brian {Hamilton Kelly}called me an ill-educated ****wit.
The answer is Ring back as on the first page.
(Most people just call it ringing tone)
*Not to be confused with BT Ring Back* (see the second page)
BT Ring Back is the ringing cadence of 3 short rings followed by
a long pause used to indicate an engaged line is now free after
pressing 5 during the engaged tone.

On my PAP2 I have the correct UK Ring Back tone, however this has no affect
on what people calling my number hears, what I've read it is meant to affect
is what I hear when I call another VoIP user and my device has to then
generate the ring-back tone.

This is my experience too, and it's the same with the softphone.
However, when I had the account registered on my Asterisk
box it would ring once with a 'continental' tone then change
to a UK one. I confess I didn't really investigate why this
was happening, anyone else seen that?

Probably because in your /etc/asterisk/indications.conf the defaultzone was not
set to uk.

If you had Ring() in your extensions.conf and/or a device sent back a 180
ringing message first, then Asterisk would generate dialtone. When Asterisk
passed it to the phone, that might then have generated a 183 Session Progress
with the correct tone encoded in the media path. Or any other variations on the
same theme.

Cool, worked first time for 00442xxxxxxxx.

Thanks to you and Mike.

I believe the "damned expensive" is either a gross overstatement or
based on lack of understanding of what's on offer. I have used it for
a couple of years and find it extremely reliable and by far the best
VoIP service I have used. £7.99 / month for me is a bargain when it
allows me to call 13 counties - unlimited calls to landlines. I can
only assume that Jono either:
- hasn't used it
- has no need to call the countries which are bundled
- isn't aware of (or has no need of) the many features included in the
standard package.

I've used several other VoIP services and prefer Vonage for a
hassle-free excellent service.

True.

Probably true.

Not true.

Also, you could have made another assumption - than 8 quid a month is
much more than I pay in calls & rental charges to a not insignificant
number of other providers, combinations of which (currently) provide me
with more flexibility, for a lower cost than Vonage's package would
provide.

I do take your point though, and admit to being a little flippant when
I said it ;-)

That does have a value, of course.
