The -ed participle is rung.

In conversation, people often use ring up, instead of ‘ring’. There is no difference in meaning.

2. ‘call’

American speakers don’t usually use ring in this sense. The word they use is call. British speakers also say call.

A ring is a circular or oval shape, like the rings around Saturn or a ring of trees surrounding an open field, or the ring of delicious fried pastry that we call a doughnut.

Angels are often shown in paintings with a ring hovering over their heads — a halo. And if you’ve ever ordered onion rings, you know that they’re circle-shaped slices of onion that are battered, fried, and eaten with ketchup. Then there’s the ring, usually made of silver or gold, that’s worn as jewelry on a finger. As a verb, to ring is to form a circle, as in the children’s song and game «Ring Around the Rosie.»
