Can I decide how many times my iphone rings?

When I get a call from somebody can i decide how many times the iphone rings before it goes to voicemail?

Cell phones do many things I don't care about, and iPhones do more things than any of them.
To each his/her own but my experience with cell phones is the complete opposite which goes way back when they were mounted in your car only. A range of features or settings I don't want or care about and if I happened to come across an available setting I might be interested in, it was a chore to return to the location where the setting was available since the user interface was so very poor. I continue to use a Razr 3m with Verizon for business and what a joke in comparison to me.
The iPhone does not do this so don't buy one if this feature is very important to you. At least you checked beforehand. No point in purchasing such a device that doesn't meet your needs or wants.
If not, then why not? I really want a good answer to this.
Not sure why not - maybe because this isn't a very common request. I've never used a cell phone that included such a feature. Apple doesn't answer questions here - this is a user to user help forum for technical support issues and questions only so we can only assume Apple chose not to include it or probably didn't even consider it but you can check with the provider regarding the number of rings allowed before a call goes to voice mail and if available, this would probably be a universal setting only - not by designated caller.

  • How can I change how many times my phone rings?

    I have the IPhone 6. And many of my receiving calls only ring once then go straight to voicemail. Where do I go to change that.

    That is a carrier feature - contact your cell phone provider.

  • How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone

    How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone. I know how to check purchases but I am looking for how to check when an app had been re-downloaded on my device whether it's through my device or Apple ID

    You mention "lack of control" several times.  The control is there - you control the Apple ID and password that owns the app.  No other Apple ID can use the app.  You have not shared your Apple ID or password with anyone, so you and only you own the app.
    Therefore, the number of times the app is downloaded or re-downloaded is completely irrelevant.  You might, for example, decide to purchase a new iPhone or iPad and download the app there.  Or the app developer may issue a new version which you download.  None of this matters regarding your "control" of the app.  All that matters is that you own it and nobody else can use it.

  • What is the best data plan overall. I can't decide how many GB of data to get...

    I can't decide how many GB of data to get...

    You can change the data plan on a monthly basis.  So as a start, choose one of the smaller amounts, use it for a month or two.  Then look at your account and see how much data you are using on a regular basis.  If you use a lot of data and need a bigger plan, choose that for next month.  However, if you use less data, move to a smaller plan.  I did this, and since I'm on WiFi most of the time at home and at work, I migrated to the smallest 3G data plan.

  • How can i decide how many dimensions are needed here.and which charactersti

    Hi,
            i am planning to create custom defined cube for sale order line item data.  how can i decide how many dimensions are needed here.and which characterstics are suitable for that dimensions.
    Thanks,
    chandu.

    Hi Chandra,
    How many dimensions are needed and which characteristics to be used totally depends upon the data model you are using.
    for instance  take an example of school.
    teachers , students are the imp terms in this example .
    you can choose these two as dimensions .
    teacher's name , address  , subject , class , designation etc can be its characteristics . and for students also the important terms describing them can be its characteristics.
    for more understanding of the Dimensional Modeling you can refer to following link.

  • How can I tell how many times my free ibook is downloaded on itunes?

    Hi, Apple has accepted my ebook in their itunes store.  The book was make at Blurb.com and submitted to Apple through Blurb.  Now, I see my book in the store and I even see ratings so I know someone must have downloaded it.  What I'd like to know is how many times the book is downloaded so I have an idea of how the book is doing.  Right now it's free.   I'd just like to see the stats.
    Thank you for your help,

  • Can I see how many times a shared album has been viewed?

    I primarily use Revel to share photos of events since the files get too big to email more than 2 at a time.  Usually, there is a very limited group of people that would be interested but the link to one album was shared on Facebook and I'm curious to see if many people viewed that album.  Is there a way to see how many times the album has been viewed?

    Peter,
    Workspaces and groups can be confusing - apologies that it was not clear.
    Perhaps some background as to why I described it that way may help.
    BeehiveOnline relies on groups to be self-sufficient - if you are in one group your world of available participants is that group and that group alone. So if you want to create a new workspace and add users they can only be drawn from that group. - hence the workspaces within a group setup. However, if you are in multiple groups then the linkage gets broken as you could add members to a workspace from different groups - if you needed many group to share a repository of read-only info for instance. This is in wide use on BeehiveOnline. Read and Write access is more of a problem as if anyone updates a document or creates one their id will be attached to it and if they are in a group you as a workspace member cannot see it will cause confusion.
    So workspaces are only group restricted if there is only one group. If you have multiple groups you have more scope but have to exercise more care.
    Hope that explains it.

  • How can I control how many times an individual photo is shown?

    How can I control the frequency of each photo on apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos in slideshows will only be showed once until the slideshow repeats. If you want it to show more than once you will need to duplicate it.
    Photos in screensavers show randomly.

  • Can I choose how many Time Machine backups I want?

    I have ~ 500 GB dedicated to Time Machine, but now it's telling me that there's not enough space.
    I figured out it was doing several backups so I can go back in time when I did my first backup. The thing is, I do not want that. Is there a way to only keep one single backup? (which would be the latest)
    If I put something to the trash, then there's a reason why I do. So one backup is really enough, which is also just in case my hard drive fails.
    I hope there's a way to set this

    It sounds like you have a backup drive that is too small and that you are storing other files on it in addition to Time Machine. Both are virtually guaranteed to cause the problems you descibe. Time Machine needs to have space to work and you aren't giving it the space it needs. External drives are very inexpensive. I suggest getting a new one. There is really no other option.
    Sorry, but what you're saying is just wrong.
    Why would I buy a new hard drive? I have 3 TB of space on that hard drive, I have made a partition of 500 GB for Time Machine to use and lots of things I'm not backing up because it isn't needed. The solution is not buying a new hard drive, the solution is deleting old backups. I made 100 GB of space this way. I don't need backups that go back a year. I'm actually not exactly sure what the point of it is, maybe it's for people who after a few years realize they deleted files they should have kept. But I'm not like that, thank god! If I delete something, then I delete it forever and with a good reason. If my hard drive fails, I'm not going to load a backup from 3 years ago.

  • How many times a char showed up in a string

    Hi
    assume that i have this String:
    String s = "I have son and he has son and his son that has a son also"
    how can i determine how many times 's' showed up in this string?
    thanks

    there are many ways to accomplish this goal. All ways will require you to iterate through the String or char array, so the key is probably to simply avoid constructing new String instances on an unnecessary basis. Here is one way to accomplish what you are asking:
    for (int x = 0; x < string.length(); x++) {
    if (string.charAt(x) == 'i') {
    //record this index
    list.put(x);

  • How do you find out how many times an app has been downloade

    Wondering where I can find out how many times an app from the app store has been downloaded?

    Are you asking if you can find out how many times an app has been downloaded from the app store? Or you asking if you can find how many times you have downloaded the app? If the former, you could try asking the developer. If the latter, none that I know of.
