A method and system for simultaneous ringing in a wireless communication system. Upon receipt of a request to connect a call to a given wireless communication device (WCD), a switch or other entity will determine that the given WCD subscribes to a simultaneous ringing service and will identify one or more other WCDs to simultaneously ring. The switch or other entity will then determine which of those one or more WCDs, if any, are currently operating in the same wireless coverage area as the given WCD and will then simultaneously ring the given WCD and each of the other WCDs, if any, that is determined to be operating in the same wireless coverage area.
