What is a caller tune?

Caller tune is a status message or music that the person contacting you hears. It tells the caller whether the callee's phone is ringing or not. It's the monotonous Tring Tring sound by default; however, telecom operators now allow users to change it to pretty much anything. The callee can set a message or their favourite song for the callers to hear.

The caller tune should not be confused with the ring tone. The latter is a short audio file that callee when their phone receives incoming calls or messages.
