A method and device for providing a mixed audible signal which includes a ringing
tone and the identity of a calling party upon receiving the incoming call of the
calling party. The incoming call can be a voice call, a call to convey an MMS message,
or a call to convey an SMS message. A TTS synthesizer is used to generate sounds
representative of the text identifying the caller if the identity can be found
in a caller ID database. A MIDI protocol is used to generate a ringing tone of
one or more musical note sequences. A combining module is used to integrate the
TTS message and the MIDI tone into the mixed audible signal. Whether only the ringing
tone or the mixed audible signal is played is selectable based on a use profile
of the device.
