Extend the time before voicemail picks up

How can I set the number of rings on my phone before voicemail picks up?  The default of 20 seconds is too short.  I would like to extend the time to 30 seconds.  How can I do this?

It's set by the system at roughly 30 seconds; sometimes using a different ringtone helps.

  • How do I extend the time before re-entering password.  I have it set of one hour at present but would like to extend that.

    I have a 2014 Mac Mini 1.4G, 4GB, 500GB.  I bought this recently but am new to Mac.  How can I extend the down time before having to re-enter my password. I have it set to 1 hr but I need more time because of using it intermittently throughout the day.  I can't seem to get back to where I set that in the first place.

  • How to extend ringing time before voicemail is activated?

    I would like to setup the phone such that voicemail is not activated for 10 or 15 seconds, but I can't figure out how to do it. This was pretty easy to do on some previous phones I used.
    Any ideas how to do this?
    Thank you for your time.

    I contacted SingTel (Singapore Telecom) and they gave me a code that I had to "call" from the phone. Seems to work OK.
    The bottom line is that you can't do it onboard the phone. As you guys said, you have to find out from the wireless provider.
    Thanks.

    If the codes Tanzim mentioned don't work, just call your carrier and ask them to extend your time until voicemail picks up, to 30 seconds. They do this routinely.

  • Any way to change delay before voicemail picks up?

    My wife's iphone swithces to voicemail after the third or fourth ring (She is using "Old phone,"), and she misses a lot of calls. Is there a way to alter the delay before voicemail picks up? I looked in settings, searched some, and couldn't find any information. Thanks.

    QUESTION:
    How can I adjust the number of times my wireless phone will ring before the caller goes to voicemail?
    ANSWER:
    Contact Customer Care at 1-800-331-0500 or dial 611 from your wireless phone to change the amount of time your phone will ring before going to voice mail. The adjustments made by Customer Care are based on the traditional ring heard by the caller, not the unique Ringtone you hear from your phone.
    I chose to speak with a Customer Care representative and easily extended the time to 30 seconds.

  • Extend/reduce time to voicemail pickup

    I thing I notice that os 10 haven't been able to do, that is, control the number of incoming phone rings prior to out going greetings. My old blackberry 9630, I had control over that.

    This (time to voicemail) is not a BlackBerry feature but is controlled by your mobile provider.
    And not a feature request (I'll ask a moderator to move this post).
    As a norm, most all carriers have a default 15 seconds of ringtime until the voicemail picks up. That can be extended to 30 seconds.
    If you do need additional ring time before voicemail, The simplest method is to call your carrier and request a longer ring time, up to 30 seconds.
    There is another method:
    Dial *#61# from your phone. ...
    You should see a new screen that displays a bunch of information about what's getting forwarded. ...
    Now, dial **61*+11234567890*11*XX# and hit Send, where 11234567890 is the number that you found in step two and XX is the number of seconds you want to wait until voicemail picks up.

  • Increase the time before call diverts to answer phone

    Is there anyway in which the amount of time that the blackerry rings for can be increased before the blackberry diverts the call to the voicemail?
    Thanks for any help in advance 

    I am sorry I do not have the definitive fix, however, I can give one pearl of advice. 
    By making sure your phone is in ring only or vibrate only will increase the amount of time each will perform prior to rolling over to VM. 
    Example of this is when in vibrate and ring, your phone will do shortened performances of each before timing out.  If you are not relying on vibration to sense your phone, you will loose all the time before you hear the ring tone. 
    Hope this helps!

  • How do you extend the time of a rolling credit?

    I'm working on my wedding dvd, and I am including a rolling credit that lists all of the guests to be pasted at the end of the movie. The problem is when I include more and more people to the list, the lettering gets smaller in a bid to fit all the text in to a certain time frame. Obviously, the credits should be allowed to run for a lot longer to allow for the extra text. Is there a way of extending the time that the credits last for. I have tried dragging it, have fiddled with the scroll time (58 secs I think, not long enough for what I want to do.) Is it possible to do, or is this way to ambitious for this particular program. If so, would Final Cut do it?

    Hi wildgherkin - have a look at this very good, cheap app that does what you want and more. It is fully compatible with imovie. You can export the file directly into an iMovie project if you want.

  • Timer works if I set the time before the current one

    Hi,
    I've got a block that is part of an actionListener that has 4 buttons, anyway I want the timer to execute something exactly at the time I set it.....but in the code that I have it also executes if i set the time before the current time
    Here's the segmant:
    private class ButtonResponder implements ActionListener
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) 
                    if (event.getSource() == exitButton)
                                  System.exit(0);
                   if(event.getSource() == setButton)
                        int hour = Integer.parseInt(hours[hourComboBox.getSelectedIndex()]);
                        int min = Integer.parseInt(minutes[minuteComboBox.getSelectedIndex()]);
                        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
                        calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
                        calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, min);
                        calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
                        Date time = calendar.getTime();
                    timer = new java.util.Timer();
                        timer.schedule(new TimerTask()
                             public void run()
                                  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "it is time");
                        , time, 5*1000);
                   if (event.getSource() == cancelButton)
                        timer.cancel();
              }So if I put zeros in hours and minutes it will execute immediately....how can I make execute at the exact time (so that if the time now is 2:00 and I set it to 1:00 it only executes the next day??

  • How can I extend the time I am timed out on the new Firefox version?

    The new version of Firefox which I recently installed times me out after a very short period of time. I can I extend the time that Firefox times me out to at least one hour of inactivity.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == right after I installed the new Firefox version today

    If you have an Exchange account on your iPad for which the admistrator has specified a limit on how long you can set the auto-lock, the only way to change it is to remove the Exchange account. Once you put the Exchange account back on, the restriction will be back in place. Apple has nothing to do with this.
    Exchange admistrator often require that devices be passcode protected and that the device will autolock so they delete the "Never" setting.

    If you are on Orange or Vodafone then follow the codes, if you're on another network then phone up the network provider for the relevant code as mentioned above.

    Please bear in mind that the following code is only valid for phones on the Orange UK network.
    The code to set the length of time your phone rings is:
    **61*07973100123*11*??#
    Where ?? is the time in seconds, e.g. to set the ring time to 30 seconds you would type the following code at the standby screen then press the green send button:
    **61*07973100123*11*30#
    To make your phone ring for only 10 seconds:
    **61*07973100123*11*10#
    The code works in 5 second intervals, i.e. you can set 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30 seconds.
    If you're on a network other than Orange then I'm afraid I can't help but you should be able to get some answers from your network provider.
