[AOB] In genereal the media should be open when a 180 or 183  response
containing SDP is received. Now
if the above message are received without SDP, it is up the UA local policy
to play or not some sort of ringback or
announcement back.

[AOB] In my experiece most customers want when a 180 without SDP is received
to play ringback

[AOB] some gateways have the capability to be configured to play some sort
of either a ringback or  announcement in these cases.
