According to Alan Sege VP and General Council of Roamware, his company invented ringback tones 4-5 years ago in Hong Kong using Dialogic boards. It seems businessmen from this area had “Chinese wives” and when they visited China and received a call -- they wanted it to seem like they were still in Hong Kong. So the first ringback tone sounded like the phone ringing in Hong Kong.
