Answer Tones™

Why Ring? Give your callers something to listen to!

Give your callers something to listen to with Answer Tones™. Instead of the traditional ringing sound a caller hears when waiting for you to answer, entertain your friends with AT&Ts wireless Answer Tones and wireline Answer Tones. While they wait, callers can listen to their favorite song, the latest hits, a college fight song, celebrity snippet or silly sound effects!

Manage your library of Answer Tones online or from your wireless phone and switch up your tones as often as you wish. Designate the time of day you want your callers to hear an Answer Tone and assign tones to a specific number, group, or to everyone who calls. You can also shuffle your library and have a different tune play each time you receive a call.
