The present invention relates to a method for providing an arbitrary sound
chosen by a subscriber instead of a conventional RBT, more particularly,
to a method for providing a caller with an arbitrary sound chosen by the
caller instead of an RBT in case that a called is not a subscriber of a
called-based RBT replacement service. The present method comprises: a
first step, conducted by an exchanger when a call is received from a
terminal, of requesting a first trunk connection to other telephone
communication network while requesting a second trunk connection to a
sound providing means if it is confirmed that the calling terminal has
subscribed to RBT replacement service and the called terminal is a
subscriber of said other telephone communication network; and a second
step, conducted by the sound providing means, of providing the calling
terminal with an RBT-replacing sound set for the calling terminal through
the exchanger.
