1895 A. R. Bennett Telephone Syst. Europe xxiv. 404 In obtaining connections, the subscribers ring the exchange and put the telephone to the ear without waiting for a ring back.

2004 Daily News (N.Y.) (Nexis) 7 Dec. Get ready for ringbacks. This newest audio fix for cell phone users is a snippet of a song meant to replace those boring standard rings callers hear after they punch in a number.
