What is a Local Ringback Tone?
A local ringtone, also known as a local ringback tone, is the sound heard by callers while the destination phone is ringing. The tone is usually provided by the telephone exchange, which serves the destination number.
There is no standard, global ringtone. Each country has its own characteristic ringtone. The one you’re used to hearing in the U.S. is a repeating 2-second tone with a 4-second pause in between. Because each country has its own local ringtone, it can be confusing to callers if they do not expect a different one.
For example, a caller calling a toll free number that is forwarding calls to the United States will usually hear the North American standard ringback tone. However, if you use local ringback tones, the caller will hear the tone standard to their country. With Global Call Forwarding, you can use local ringback tones from more than 40 countries worldwide.
Using local ringback tones can give your business a more professional appearance and more global appeal. Your customers and colleagues will assume that your company has a local presence in their country when they hear a familiar ringback tone. Local ringback tones also make callers feel comfortable because they are used to hearing them. Local ringtones are an advanced feature offered by service providers who want to help businesses look professional and make their international customers more comfortable.
Choose the country’s ringtone where the calls are placed to avoid any confusion on the part of your callers, especially if your international calls are being forwarded to other countries. When you choose Global Call Forwarding as your service provider, you can easily personalize your ringback tone via your online Control Panel.
