The phone on my desk (AT&T 7507 ISDN phone) has 8 different ring sequences, selectable by the user. While the pitch of the ringer is not changable, it has 3 tones, and 8 sequences of hi-med-low to choose from. It also has a liquid-crystal display that displays the incoming call number (when possible), and about a million buttons programmable for features (conference, transfer, call-forward, auto call-back, priority call, leave word calling, program speed call, etc.) and/or speed calling numbers.
