Abstract
Methods and devices for providing a ring signal to a called party terminal (450, 550, 650, 750, 124, 134) for a call from a calling party terminal (400, 500, 600, 700, 120, 130) to the called party terminal for alerting the called party regarding the call from the calling party. A communication network node (420, 520, 620, 720, 122, 132, D90) receives (S100) an indication of an attempt for the call and sends (S110) a ring signal specified by the calling party at a service node (430, 530, 630, 730, 125, 135, D100) of a calling party ring signal service to the called party terminal for alerting the called party regarding the call from the calling party.
