Distinctive Ring
basicsDistinctive Ring service is an
optional service available from many telephone companies. The
Distinctive Ring service permits you to assign more than one telephone
number to the same telephone line. Distinctive Ring allows you to use a
single phone line for both voice and fax calls. You can assign a unique
phone number and ring pattern for incoming fax calls. When a fax comes
in, each telephone number makes a distinctive ringing sound, such as a
single ring, double ring, or triple ring.
