There's nothing to stop SIP clients doing this. The caller is presented, so it just needs a lookup to see if there is a ringtone associated with the caller. The biggest problem is probably the lack of a ringtone field in most standard addressbook formats. How easy it is to retrofit this to an existing client is another matter. > but I would sincerely love the ability to have a different standard > ringtone for each of my individual accounts.

This could get fun whey both you and the caller have multiple SIP identities! I expect one ringtone per identity and some simple precedence rules would be better than trying to remember a matrix of ringtones. _______________________________________________ Linphone-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users
