by these means no mobile phones ring, since they have no bells anymore. and not even the fancier landlines, either.
I don't think the bell is required, just the sound. Phone can still ring an "alarm" and produce sound. That qualifies as ringing.
All sound is vibrating, because sound is just air vibration, therefore any audio at all produces by a telephone fits this definition. I will die on this hill.
... Or perhaps the definition is just a bit outdated, only accounting for ringtones that sound like bells which used to be a popular choice. IMHO the definition should be updated to include any sound that alerts of an incoming call.
Wait, what am I saying? Where did my hill go?!
I mean, I can live with this, so you aren't alone on this hill.
I just spotted and fixed a typo, I hope that doesn't change your mind.
I mean I aggree with this, nontheless my first comment (just wanted to nitpick and engage some convo with it):
Though, in my native language 'ringing' is kinda analogue to 'vibrating' and as for 'ringing' like the noise, we use a different word.
