Calling party

The calling party (in some contexts called the "A-Number") is a person who (or device that) initiates a telephone call. The person who (or device that) receives a telephone call is the called party.

In some countries, it is common etiquette for a call originator to identify himself first instead of the receiver, when the connection is established.

Machine call originator

Modems and fax machines use different tones when originating or answering a connection, which may be a source of problem for the user.
