- receiving the address information from the app server;
- transmitting a request to a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) server for a call setup for a VoIP call with the callee;
- receiving the ringback tone stream using the address information in response to a reply from the VoIP server;
- and
- playing back the received ringback tone stream as a ringback tone for the VoIP call.
