180 1xx Provisional RFC 3261

SIP 180 Ringing

The called device is alerting the user. The caller normally plays local ringback tone unless early media arrives.

Common causes

  • The destination phone or softphone is ringing.

How to fix it

  1. If the caller hears silence instead of ringback, the caller's device may expect 183 with early media. Configure the far end or SBC to send 183 + SDP, or make the caller generate local ringback on 180.
Seeing 180 on calls through a router or firewall? Check that SIP ALG is disabled. It causes a surprising number of SIP errors. Read why.
