5 rings then voice mail on an iphone

A classic iPhone sound!

The 5 rings you're referring to are the default ringtone for an iPhone, which plays a series of five short, sharp tones to alert you to an incoming call. This ringtone is often accompanied by a vibration and a flash of the screen to grab your attention.

After the 5 rings, the iPhone will then go to voicemail, which is a feature that allows you to leave a message for someone who is not available to answer your call. When you reach voicemail, you'll hear a recorded message asking you to leave a message, and then you can record your own message to be played back to the person you're calling.

Here's a breakdown of the sequence:

  1. 5 rings (default iPhone ringtone)
  2. Voicemail message (recorded by the iPhone)
  3. You can leave a message for the person who called you
