§ 64.2201 Ringing indication requirements.
(a) A long-distance voice service provider shall not convey a ringing
indication to the calling party until the terminating provider has signaled
that the called party is being alerted to an incoming call, such as by
ringing.
(1) If the terminating provider signals that the called party is being
alerted and provides an audio tone or announcement, originating providers
must cease any locally generated audible tone or announcement and convey the
terminating provider's tone or announcement to the calling party.
(2) The requirements in this paragraph apply to all voice call signaling and
transmission technologies and to all long-distance voice service providers,
including local exchange carriers as defined in § 64.4001(e), interexchange
carriers as defined in § 64.4001(d), providers of commercial mobile radio
service as defined in § 20.3 of this chapter, providers of interconnected
voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 153(25),
and providers of non-interconnected VoIP service as defined in 47 U.S.C.
153(36) to the extent such providers offer the capability to place calls to
or receive calls from the public switched telephone network.
(b) Intermediate providers must return unaltered to providers in the call
path any signaling information that indicates that the terminating provider
is alerting the called party, such as by ringing.
(1) An intermediate provider may not generate signaling information that
indicates the terminating provider is alerting the called party. An
intermediate provider must pass the signaling information indicating that
the called party is being alerted unaltered to subsequent providers in the
call path.
(2) Intermediate providers must also return unaltered any audio tone or
announcement provided by the terminating provider.
(3) In this section, the term “intermediate provider” has the same meaning
as in § 64.1600(f).
(4) The requirements in this section apply to all voice call signaling and
transmission technologies.
(c) The requirements in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section apply to both
interstate and intrastate calls, as well as to both originating and
terminating international calls while they are within the United States.
