  Did the device have an active *data* network connection when you tried
'Ring'?

  It says 'Ring', which mmight be interpreted as a *phone* (i.e. talk)
ring, but it uses a *data* connection and uses the ring *tone*. It works
this way, because 1) the device might have no phone capability and 2)
they don't/shouldn't know which number to ring.
