Whose phone has that nice ~ringing tone~ (nonstandard)?
Whose phone has that nice ringtone (standard)?
A signaling tone in telecommunication that is heard by the originator of a telephone call while the destination terminal is alerting the receiving party is a RINGING TONE:
You can pay #50 to have your favourite song as your ~ringtone~ when calling anyone (nonstandard).
You can pay #50 to have your favourite song as your ringing tone when calling anyone (standard).
