Abstract

A service based Ringback Tone service that may be personalized by a calling party instead of a called party. The calling party generates and stores an originating profile that contains Ringback Tones or Ringback messages associated with a Ringback Tone subscriber (called party). When the calling party contacts the called party, the Ringback Tone chosen by the calling party and associated with the called party is then sent to the calling party until the calling party answers the call.
