Default Anyone experiencing problems with Ringback Tone (RBT)

I am from Greece having a Vodafone account and recently bought HTC Trophy 7. Overall great device! However, me and 3 other colleagues too, we experience something weird. When we call someone from another operator in Greece, in particular COSMOTE, we experience a very different, more loud, annoying ring back tone overlapping the usual one. Is this even possible? Why is this noticeable only between parties from these two mobile operators?

So I am asking just out of curiosity. Has anyone noticed something similar in their HTC, WP7, or else?

HTC Trophy from Vodafone Portugal and I have 2 different operators I usual make calls to, and haven't met any issues like the one you mention.

Have you spoken to Vodafone Greece about that ?

I did, but I don't know if I made it clear over the phone. I don't think they registered it at all. I am not even sure, how is this technically possible, in order it to explain it to them. I just know that 4 people I know (roaming or not), calling a Cosmote party noticed this annoying ring-back tone. It is just a weird quirk.

I'd hit a Vodafone center with some of the other people to whom it also happens and show them on the spot what's going on... but there is always the risk they'll dismiss it as being a Cosmote issue and not theirs.

G'luck mate

Cosmote gr has a lot of problems with all those new smartphones and specially the WP7 phones...

A lot of the old sim cards from Cosmote are having more probs... like mms issues.

I have a lot of friends with cosmote and with some of them i have the problem with others i don't

Its not a trophy problem...Its a Cosmote problem

As far as I understand it, when it comes to ringback tones it is always a problem by the provider and not the phone model or anything.
Correct me if I am mistaken.
