>>Dialling a number is inputting it, while ringing a number is actually making contact.<<
Strictly speaking, isn't making contact what happens after the ringing?
So in fact we have three stages - we dial the number, we listen to ringing while the network tries to make contact and then if we're lucky we might have a phone conversation.
I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
