What does your telephone company's 'Distinctive Ring' do?

Your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service allows you to

more than one phone number, it is cheaper than paying for an
extra line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern,
so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you
can have a separate phone number for your machine.
