As many of you know, ringing signals and busy signals vary from country to coun try. So do the tones a caller gets if all circuits are busy. Transit tones, t he tones which precede ringing, also differ from one country to the next. For example: * Iceland's busy signal is a short sharp tone repeated at frequent intervals. * Bangladesh's ringing signal consists of two short tones repeated at regular intervals. * Tonga's ringing signal is a short tone followed by a longer pause. My white pages directory used to provide this information, but it hasn't been included the last few years. Does anyone know where I could obtain a complete, country-by-country list of telephone tones and signals? If there's any reading available on the subject, I'd also welcome that information, since I find the topic of telephone tones rather interesting. Any information would be really appreciated. Thanks!
