History

Hello Rdl, I'm Koryosaram. I do not agree with your argument, since none of the sources, I provided say or suggest the Korean Invention of Ringback tone was an invention of specific to Korean custom ringback tone. If you do not agree with the reliable sources written by the experts, you should add your argument in the history section by providing some sources of equal reliability that contradict mine. Thanks.

I deleted this entire section because it is specific to IRRBT and not to the traditional telephony concept of Ringback Tones, which predate it by over 100 years. The author reversed my reversion of his entire edit, which I had assumed consisted only of this, but also consisted of some information about a Korean patent.

Thank you for your advice. So I made some modifications reflecting what you have told to me. Koryosaram (talk) 14:20, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Can we please have more descriptions of ringbacks from OTHER countries? --ÆAUSSIEevilÆ 23:39, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I second that. --newton21989 5:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.179.152.213 (talk)

The German article (accessed through the "other languages" links) has a rather complete list of the tones specified in the German norms. From personal experience and according to a list I have once found (but cannot retrieve now) on the servers of the ITU, those tones are largely used on continental Europe and most parts of Latin America (at least the standard dial tone and ringback tone). Could someone link the German "Freizeichen" audio file as an example of a ringback tone for continental Europe and Latin America? 87.180.176.16 (talk) 11:22, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- I included the German/European ring-back tone from the German article in the audio links, but "Freizeichen" is dial tone, so it doesn't belong here. -- ke4roh (talk) 21:32, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

There is a complete reference file with descriptions for tones worldwide from the ITU found under http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/inr/forms/files/tones-0203.pdf. I am afraid I do not know how to place this correctly in the main article and how to link it with footnotes where applicable. 193.28.180.245 (talk) 12:52, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Though an audio recording of it exists, there is no description of the Japanese ringback tone. One should probably be added, or at least something specifying the frequencies the tones are made of. The ones specified in the file description (400Hz + 20Hz) are incorrect. Combining those frequencies don't produce the Japanese ringback tone. Windoze96 (talk) 03:19, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
