There's a variety of things with mobiles, but in a similar vein, to save data, its often the actual phone that produces the tone. It's not uncommon that when you hear a ringing tone, it's your phone, and tha data only starts to flow once the call is answered. I noticed this start to happen some years ago when calling overseas (mostly Germany).
