We did that in Bulgaria back in the days as well. We also had a special verb for the act of ringing and hanging up immediately - "to clip" (from Calling line identification presentation = CLIP). There was also the case where one of your friends would have many free minutes in one of the network. Then you would just "clip" them and the expectation was that they call you, because it was for free.

Same in Portugal: we called it "dar um toque". Literally: to ring only once. I grew up with this.

  "Dar un toque" in Spain, grew up with it as well haha I remember doing it with friends, girls I liked... it's interesting how we're constantly looking for ways to communicate.

      „Puścić strzałkę” (to send/drop an arrow) in Polish. Also sometimes called „puścić sygnał (to send/drop a signal), „puścić dzwonek” (to send/drop a ring), and other variants.
