Tons of TONZ
What phone networks really sound like.
Tons of TONZ explores call-progress tones, intercept messages, and real-world network behavior from around the world.
From classic dial tones to unexpected network responses, this channel documents the sounds of real telephone systems — as they are.
Some of them are predictable. Others are not.

Hello, Community! 📞✨
It’s time for a little update on what’s been happening behind the scenes here at Tons of TONZ.
As many of you know, since March I’ve actively taken the reins of the project again, pouring a lot of energy into expanding our audio archive. The last few months have been an incredible ride, and we’ve reached some major milestones together:
1,000 Subscribers: We officially passed this milestone!
A huge thank you to every single one of you who listens, comments, and shares our passion for phone sounds.
A Professional Setup: To take my recordings and network tracing to the next level, I’ve completely upgraded the technical backend, adopting a more robust setup with Asterisk and dedicated SIP trunks. This allows for cleaner captures and better international connectivity.
New Content: I’ve rolled out new video installments and fresh formats to keep exploring international telephone signaling together.
None of this would be possible without your incredible support and all the media contributions you send in. To make submission smoother and keep everything organized, I have a dedicated email address for all your audio findings:
📩 uploads@tonsoftonz.com
Now working smoothly.
Moving forward, there is a lot of new content on the horizon. I'm excited to announce that I am launching several new video series very soon. The first one dropping will be "Global Voicemail Messages" — a deep dive into how different networks around the world handle answering systems.
If you have any call-progress tones, intercept messages, or unusual network recordings, please consider contributing them to the cause!
Thank you for being part of this journey. Stay tuned, stay connected, and... keep listening to the tones!

Hello Youtubers,
I'm here to ask for your help and support (I swear it's NOT about money).
If you happen to like this channel and would love to see it grow, then I could really use your insight on the actual specifications or your local call-progress tones since all the international sources I rely on proved to be surprisingly full of inaccuracies and omissions.
So, if you would like to know how to contribute, just hit me in the comments.
Thank you in advance.
See? It wasn't about money...
