- 12. What is a ringback number?
-
- A ringback number is a number that you call that will immediately ring the
- telephone from which it was called.
- In most instances you must call the ringback number, quickly hang up the
- phone for just a short moment and then let up on the switch, you will then
- go back off hook and hear a different tone. You may then hang up. You will
- be called back seconds later.
-
- 13. What is the ringback number for my area?
-
- An 'x' means insert those numbers from the phone number from which you are
- calling. A '?' means that the number varies from switch to switch in the
- area, or changes from time to time. Try all possible combinations.
- If the ringback for your NPA is not listed, try common ones such as 954,
- 957 and 958. Also, try using the numbers listed for other NPA's served by
- your telephone company.
