Said system provides means for replacing the ringing tone heard by the calling user when a not engaged called user has been reached with an audio signal consisting of the ringing tone itself and an advertising message inserted during the intervals of the waveform of such ringing tone so that the telephone line is used before the answer of the called user, i.e. before the calling user begins to pay.
