The dial tone is the tone you hear on a land line phone before dialing. The ring tone is the sound your phone makes when someone is calling you.

Dial tone is the signal sent when you press a number or * or #, each one has a different tone.
A ring tone can be several things.
-- A. The sound your phone makes and you hear letting you know there is an incoming call.
-- B. The tone sent to the phone that tells it a call is trying to come in (ring, ring, ring, ring)
-- C. The signals sent by an old fashioned analog telephone. In this case each number was represented by a number of clicks. one click for 0, two clicks for 1, three clicks for 2 etc. Digital phones added the * and # key to create a 12 key uniform button pattern.

You listen to a dial tone before dialing a number, and you hear a ring tone on a cell phone when somebody is calling it.

The dial or dialling tone is when you remove the handset (off-hook position). The ring or ringing tone is a signal sent back from the called switching center that a connection is being made.
The tones may be artificially generated by your system, or not. Nothing is the way it used to be: ask a Telephone Pioneer (a member of the telephone workers' oldtimer's club).

dial tone: This sound signifies that a telephone is ready to receive instruction (ie, make a call).
ring tone: A ring tone is a sequence of sounds and tones alerting you of an incoming call. They can be in the form of simple beeps (monophonic), or polyphonic tones
