How do I change the number of times my phone rings before going to voice mail?

I want to make calls go to voice mail after 3 or 4 rings. Right now it is taking about 5 to 6 rings. Can I make this change?
Thank you!

    I'm sorry to see your co-worker was not able to reach you kaokim. We know how important it is to be able to receive and make calls in a reliable manner. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
As advised earlier in the thread, there is a specific time it will ring, and it can't be changed. However, to make sure you're provisioned correctly, make sure call forwarding is disabled by calling *73.

    How can I extend the number of times my Iphone 4s rings before it goes to answerphone

    Call you carrier and ask them how you can change this.  The number of rings before voicemail kicks in is set by your carrier.  Some have the option to do it from your phone if you know the sequence of codes to send, but you need to ask your own carrier how to do it for their system.

  • How do you set the number of rings before going to voice mail?

    I can't find the option to shorten the number of rings before going to voice mail, any ideas?

    It's preset by some phone software but you still may have some sound settings for the answer time. Go to settings and check under call answer settings.

  • How do I extend the length of time my iphone rings before voicemail cuts in? If I need to use a password, how do I access that on my iphone? I'm a new user.

    HELP!! My voicemail cuts in after just 15 seconds of ringing, which is rarely long enough for me to answer it. How do I increase the length of time it rings? Can I choose not to have voicemail at all, so my phone can just continue ringing until I answer?
    If I need to enter a voicemail password or key, can you tell me step by step because I can't see how to do anything except retrieve and delete voicemail msgs. I'm on O2-UK, if that makes any difference at all. Thank you

    FYI, it's considered bad forum etiquette to ask for points.

  • I have a Samsung S5, How can i increase the amount of time my phone rings?

    So as stated in the Subject, I have a Samsung S5 it works really well so far, However when someone is ringing me it only rings 3 times. Is there a way i can increase the amount of times the phone rings before it goes to answer machine?

    Hi, 
    Try this: 
    1. Dial *#61# and click Send. You will see your VM access number and the current ring delay time.
    2. Write down the phone number displayed (including +1).
    3. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum.
    4. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
    Thanks,

    Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine. How can I change the number to mine in face time?

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • How do I change the number of rings on messages?

    How do I change the number of rings on messages. At the moment it rings twice and I miss it. Could do with being quite a few rings more.

    This is determined by your carrier. It isn't a number of rings - it is based on time beginning when the call is received at your carrier's servers.
    I believe with AT&T in the U.S. the maximum is 30 seconds. This does not equate to a full 30 seconds of ringing with the phone since there is some delay involved between the carrier receiving the call and it reaching the phone.

  • TS3899 How do you change the number of emails displayed on ios7?

    Since I have upgraded my phone to ios7 my phone doesn't display as many emails as it used to. How do I change the settings so that my phone retains more messages?

    You cannot change that, it is not user programmable. That is handled by your carrier, and it is not based on the number of rings, it is based on time. Call your carrier and see if they can extend the time for you. They may not be able to do this.

  • How do I change the number formatting within a Cell Table in Microsoft Word?

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on an issue I've been having... I work for an accounting firm and we do a lot of financial statements. 
    I was wondering if we would be able to treat a cell table in Microsoft Word 2007 like I would a cell table in Microsoft Excel. Meaning, I would like to change the formatting of the numbers in the table to the "Accounting" (number) format so it
    aligns by the decimal point and use the $ signs and () for negative numbers.  We do use the link tables feature, however, most of our balancing pages just can't be done in Excel because of the way the text is written. It would be much harder to format
    the text if it were to be typed in Excel. We have also tried  creating an Excel sheet within Microsoft Word but it is the same as linking the tables... Again, a text formatting issue.  The only option is to use tables within Word but how do we change
    the number formatting to a "accounting" (number) format where the numbers would align with the decimal point and use () for the negative numbers. Is there ANY option for us to do this other than manually entering this information in using tabs?  
    If there are no options other than entering it in manually, please consider this as an option for your next software update. I believe that a LOT of people out there will be interested in this feature... My manager and I just attended a webinar on Microsoft
    Advanced Word Tips Tricks and Techniques and 75% of the attending people had this question but no answer.
    Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

    Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop.
    Option 1:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Display the ruler.
    - Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
    - Click in the ruler where you want the decimal tab.
    Option 2:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.
    - Click the Tabs... button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
    - Specify a tab position in the box, e.g. 1.5".
    - Select the 'Decimal' radio button under 'Alignment'.
    - Click Set.
    - Click OK.
    You will have to type the numbers as they should appear, including the $ for currency and the ( ) for negative numbers.

  • How do i change the number of columns within a text box?  I need to go from three columns to one.

    How do I change the number of columns within a text box?  I need to go from 3 columns to 1.  The insert column is highlighted and column break does not work for this.

    Pages '09 does not seem to allow layout breaks in Textboxes.
    Pages 5.2 has the same limitation.
    Use multiple linked Textboxes in Pages '09 to get the layout you want or create your layout in a Word Processing template in the document layer.
