ERP - In a message dated Thu, 19 Aug 2004 21:14:12 GMT, Nick Landsberg writes: By the way, I had heard an urban legend that "ring back tones" were established in order to try to prevent what the Telco termed "theft of service." Consider the following example: "Mom, I'll call you when I get there and hang up after exactly two rings. I should be there around 8 PM or so." Some say that the Telco's were concerned that they were losing money because the customers were communicating "out of band" but never completing a billable call. Can anyone confirm this (or deny this)? Can anyone put an approximate date when they started using "ring back tones" rather than you hearing the electrical buzz from the actual ringer on the far end phone? Thanks, NPLWith step euipment originally some of the ringing current was fedback to the calling party. So you did hear the actual ringing andthat form of code calling was indeed not uncommon.Even after they used a separate ringing tone, it was usuallyoperated by the same relay that applied ringing current to the calledparty.Wes Leatherockwesrock@aol.com
