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.

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.
