Methods, systems, and products for providing ring backs
Ring backs are provided for calls. When a call is placed to a called address, a ring back may be provided to a calling address. However, the ring back may be personalized to appeal to the calling address and/or to the called address.
1. A method, comprising:
sending, by a server, an identification sequence to a calling device, the calling device associated with a call from the calling device associated with a calling address to a called device associated with a called address;
receiving, by the server, an electronic request sent from the calling device after termination of the call, the electronic request specifying the identification sequence;
retrieving, by the server, a ring back file associated with the identification sequence; and
sending, by the server, the ring back file to the calling device associated with the calling address, the ring back file producing ring backs associated with subsequent calls from the calling device associated with the calling address to the called device associated with the called address.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting the ring back file to alert of any of the subsequent calls.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting the ring back file when processing any of the subsequent calls.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a selection of the ring back file.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing an association between the calling address and the ring back file.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing an association between the calling address and the identification sequence.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing an electronic association between the calling address, the called address, and the identification sequence.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing an electronic association between the calling address, the called address, and the ring back file.
9. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
sending an identification sequence from a server to a calling device associated with a call from a calling address to a called address;
receiving an electronic request sent from the calling device after termination of the call, the electronic request requesting a ring back file associated with the identification sequence;
retrieving the ring back file associated with the identification sequence; and
sending the ring back file from the server to the calling device associated with the calling address to produce ring backs associated with subsequent calls to the called address.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting the ring back file to the calling address.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting the ring back file to the calling address when processing any of the subsequent calls from the calling address to the called address.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a selection of the ring back file.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise storing an association between the calling address and the ring back file.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise storing an association between the calling address and the identification sequence.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise storing an electronic association between the calling address, the called address, and the identification sequence.
16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise storing an electronic association between the calling address, the called address, and the ring back file.
17. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
sending an identification sequence from a server to a calling address associated with a call to a called address;
receiving an electronic request sent from the called address after termination of the call, the electronic request specifying the identification sequence and requesting a ring back file;
retrieving the ring back file associated with the identification sequence; and
sending the ring back file from the server to the calling address to generate ring backs associated with subsequent calls from the calling address to the called address.
18. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting the ring back file to the calling address.
19. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting the ring back file to the calling address when processing any of the subsequent calls from the calling address to the called address.
20. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a selection of the ring back file.
