Ringback Tones discontinued
Under the AT&T ringback tones page it is showing the service is to be discontinued at the end of the year:
Generally I find the service annoying when others use it but there are a few specific cases where it can be helpful. In my case if you're on-call for your job you want a clear indicator for the people reaching out to you that they are calling a personal number after-hours which should be for emergencies only. AT&T has no mechansim to record your own message to these Ringback tones are the next best thing to let your callers know they're dialing a cell number.
There are workarounds out there such as tunneling through Google voice but keeping it all under AT&T would keep things simple and easy.
Does anybody know if AT&T is rolling in a replacement service, maybe through a 3rd party provider or is this the end of AT&T offering any kind of service along these lines? Thanks.

This is the first time I heard about. Actually, I saw the same notice in my AT&T Ringback Tone app today in my cell. Also, I noticed app is sort of white out, never dawn on me until now.

I got scolding from my mother because the Monday night football theme was too loud and you couldn't adjust the volume. Never used it since.
