The audible signal a caller hears while waiting for the recipient to answer on an Android device can be customized. This feature allows a user to replace the standard ringing sound with a song, recorded message, or other audio clip. Implementation typically involves subscribing to a service that manages the audio playback and assigns it to the user’s phone number.
Customization of the call-waiting audio offers a form of personal expression and branding for individuals and businesses. It provides an opportunity to entertain or inform the caller before the call is answered. Historically, network operators controlled this service; however, third-party applications and alternative methods have emerged, providing users with greater flexibility in selecting and managing the audio presented to callers.
