Ring for a price and give your address (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'give your address' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'ring for a price' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ring).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a price' becomes 'rate' (I've seen this in another clue).
'o'+'rate'='ORATE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Give a formal address" , "Lecture" , "Talk pompously" , "Give speech" , "Erato (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
