Distinctive Ring 5DiDstiisntcinticvteiveRiRnging 5.1 Distinctive Ring service from your phone company This service is convenient if you wish to have a different number for your fax machine and telephone, even when you use them on a single telephone line. Distinctive Ring is a service offered by your local telephone company which allows you to use several telephone numbers on one telephone line.
