Each tone is plays for a short time.
After the last tone has been played, base station starts again with the first tone.
My phone also responds to a call, even if the tones cycle rather than sent simultaneously.
In this case the level of each tone is two times higher (+3 dB), but the peak level is two times lower (-3 dB) than the peak level of 4 simultaneous tones.
In this case the deviation level of each tone is two times higher (+6 dB). (The level transmitted is two times lower (-6 dB) than the peak level of 4 simultaneous tones. This may help transmitters with deviation limiters to make the phone ring.)
Add command line option "-P 50" to send each tone for 50 milliseconds.
Try something between 20-100 milliseconds, if the phone still doesn't ring.
Be sure to check: Does your transmitter has enough frequency deviation (15 KHz is suggested)? Do you really send the correct number of your phone, check the frequencies of your phone and use "-D 0" option to see what 4 frequencies the base station actually transmits.

A base station implementation of classic mobile networks. All these networks use analog voice transmission. The signaling is done by tones and/or FSK modulated digital messages. It started with the idea to make a base station for the German B-Netz, but more networks followed.

This project is pure software that requires a transmitter and a receiver connected to the sound card of a Linux PC.
A second sound card or ISDN card is used to route calls from and to the mobile phone.

If the phone supports SMS, try sending a test SMS to any number.
Be sure to set the SMSC (Short Message Service Center) to '767'.
This software will detect SMS call when the phone dials '767'.
If you cannot define the SMSC on your phone, send an SMS and check what number was dialed, then use '-I <number>' to define SMSC at this software.

Also be sure not to enable encryption for SMS.
