	Ringback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ringback is typically used to refer to the audible ringing that is heard on the telephone line by the calling party after dialing and prior to the call being answered at the distant end.
		Ringback is a test used by many phone companies to quickly determine whether or not a new phoneline is working correctly and the phone number is routing properly.
		Often the ringback number plays a low frequency tone into the line to indicate that it's working, at which point the technician "flashes" the line (hangs up very briefly) to indicate they want a ringback.

		In-band progress tones (for example, ringback and busy tones) and announcements (for example, "The number you have dialed is no longer in service") are required to successfully signal voice calls.
		This causes the gateway to generate ringback towards the calling party if an alert is received on the IP call leg with no PI present.
		If the PSTN provides in-band ringback, and the Q.931 alert message does not provide a PI that indicates that there is in-band information, the gateway does not cut through the audio until the call is connected.

	Telstra wary on ringback tones: ZDNet Australia: News: Communications
		Ringback tones allow telephone users to specify a particular sound -- often a piece of music or dialogue from a movie -- which anyone who calls them will hear in place of a conventional network ringing tone.
		Because ringbacks are stored on a central network for playback, they aren't restricted to the limited range of sounds available for mobile phone ring tones.
		Because they use original recordings, ringbacks have higher licence fees, and those are more easy to monetise in markets with a larger population, Gordon noted.
