Ring tone vs BSNL Tunes (PRBT)

Your ringtone is what you hear when your phone rings when some one calls you.

BSNL Tune is what someone hears when they call you before you pickup the phone.
They are not the same as ringtone, but they do indeed complement Ringtones. Since Ring Back Tones are neither downloaded nor installed on your handset, no handset support is required for the same i.e. all handsets support Ring Back Tones.

(FAQ)

FAQ -1
Q. Some subscribers complain of excess charging. PRBT subscription is charged @ Rs.25/- for 30 days and in addition, each song is also charged @ Rs.12/- for 30 days. Check if the subscriber has made multiple selections. If the subscriber has not made multiple selections then this could be a technical issue related to the PRBT Server.
