Hi there,

In Bug 735165 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735165
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735165>, we change
nsIRadioInterfaceLayer::CALL_STATE_RINGING to
CALL_STATE_ALERTING because CALL_STATE_RINGING is confusing.
It looks like the caller side is ringing but actually it is notifying
the carrier (the callee side) a new call.
Changing CALL_STATE_RINGING toCALL_STATE_ALERTING not only matches it
with rild state but also
provides consistence with RIL terminology.

In the meanwhile, we are considering to modify WebTelephony API as well,
in order to make the consistence from the upper to lower layer.
How do you think about this? Thanks!


Best,
Hsinyi

Thanks for bringing this up, Hsin-Yi! Jonas, Ben, what do you thinking
about renaming the "ringing" event on TelephonyCall objects to
"alerting"?

Sounds great to me. I agree that alerting is more clear.
