I wouldn't exclude ringing tone from the list, as there was (and still is) a limit to how long it will continue if the called party doesn't answer.

I wouldn't say "was". I remember as a nasty kid ringing a building site with an outside bell from a local call box and leaving it ringing for around 2 hours on a Sunday. Eventually someone came to use the call box and nicked my 4d.
