Samsung: Turn On the Connection Tone for Outgoing Calls

If you dial a number and hear nothing until the other person picks up, the connection tone that normally confirms an outgoing call has been switched off. Some Samsung phones ship with this sound disabled after a system update, so you lose the familiar ring back tone. The setting sits in the call settings and is easy to miss if you are not looking for it by name.

Play Tone When Call Connects auf Samsung

On some Samsung phones the ring back tone stays silent after you dial a number, even though the call connects normally on the other end. This happens because the option responsible for the connection tone sits inside the call settings and often ships turned off after a system update.

The tone itself is not a network signal. It is a short local sound your phone plays once the carrier confirms the call setup, separate from anything the other person hears on their end.

To turn it back on, open PhoneOpen the MenuTap on SettingsTap on Call alerts and ringtone. There you find the switch for Play tone when call connects. Enable it if you want the confirmation sound back, or disable it if you prefer silence while a call connects.

If the switch is already on but you still hear nothing, check your media or ringtone volume first, since this setting only plays the tone through the audio channel and does not raise the volume for you. A muted call profile or a connected Bluetooth device with its own output level can also block the sound even though the setting is correctly enabled.

Frequently asked questions

The tone is tied to the standard dialer. If a call runs through a third-party VoIP app or a Bluetooth headset with its own audio routing, the sound may not play even with Play tone when call connects enabled.
