change ringing tone to the Uk one while abroad

Anonymous
Not applicable

I don't want my clients to hear an abroad ringing tone when I'm outside Uk. How can I change the ringing tone to the Uk one while I'm abroad? Are there any Uk ringtone boltons, apps or diverts I can use? I'm on IPhone 4.
I know this question has been asked on this forum approx 5 years ago but maybe something has changed since then.

Four years on they have probably given up now wink

Seems a very messy way just because you want a UK dial and ringtone.

Setup a VIOP account with a provider such as Sipgate https://www.sipgate.co.uk/basic/ you can get a UK local number assigned to you (you can choose the dial in ie 0151 Liverpool 0161 Manchester) and pick this call up on your mobile with a VIOP app such as Media5-fone.

There are usually ways around everything but it just depends on how much complication you want to factor in.

Is it really worth it unless you want to disguise where you are?

Hi, thank you everybody for your insights.
I've figured out that I can use voip for this (as per owza57 post but with different voip provider) and it works well.
With regards to disguising my location, I can see how this can be used in different contexts but I'm thinking business purposes at the momement.
