Configuring voice ringtones for FRITZ!Fon
Instead of a classic ringtone, you can also configure a voice ringtone on FRITZ!Fon. With the voice ringtone, the caller's name is announced when they call if their phone number is in the FRITZ!Box phone book. If there is no phone book entry for the number, the city or country from which the call is coming is announced. Callers who do not transmit their numbers are also announced.
