When I went upstairs the telephone was ringing ( the telephone was already ringing when I reached the 1st floor)
When I was going upstairs the telephone rang. (the telephone started ringing while I was in my way upstairs)

This is simple:
Ringing is present tense.
Rang is past tense.
So what are you talking about?
If past tense:
When I went up stairs, the telephone rang.
If you want to make it present:
The telephone was ringing when I was going up stairs.

I was going upstairs when the telephone rang. (while going up the stairs)
I went upstairs and the telephone rang. (after going up the stairs)
There are two different meanings here.
