How can I set the number of rings before an incoming call goes to voicemail?

How can I set my iPhone4 to ring more than 3 times before going to voicemail. I keep missing calls because I can't get to the phone that fast. I read on an Apple blog that this is controlled by the service provider, namely Verizon. Looked all over your site of FAQs and couldn't find the answer.

    x-x, I'm sad to hear that you want to leave VZW because of this. The number of rings is standard at 5-6 rings which is approximately 30 seconds. If yours is only ringing 3 times, it may be the ringtone you have selected. Make sure to also reboot your phone often and dial *228 option 2. If still having issues, try calling yourself from another phone to see how many times it rings on that end.

  • How can I set the number of rings before going to voicemail?

    Help please..... my phone rings more than 10+ times before rolling to voicemail. How do I set the number of rings I want? I am missing calls as callers will not wait through through so many rings to get to vm if I am unable to pick up the call. Thank you for any help you can give!

    You can't. Try contacting your phone carrier as they handle voicemails.

  • 8330 Call Forwarding​...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded?

    8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded? Right now it instantly forwards my calls but I don't want that. I want to change it so that let's say that if after 5 rings I don't answer the call is forwarded. I've looked everywhere for an answer but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I am with Virgin Mobile if this makes a difference.
    Thank you

    Well, call forwarding is a feature provided by your carrier -- it is not a function of the device. However it works for your carrier is how it works. Actually, from what I understand about call forwarding, it normally is an all-or-nothing circumstance...calls forward to the number you've asked them to be forwarded to, keeping you in a DND status. Regardless, though, if your carrier tells you how it works on their system, there's nothing that the device can do to override that. Unless there is some kind of 3rd party app that would do it, bypassing (somehow) the carrier network CF feature...but I've never heard of such a thing.

  • With a Sprint iPhone, how can I shorten the number of rings before going to voicmail?

    Using a Sprint iPhone, how can I shorten the number of rings before going to voicemail?

    23 rings? Really. My friends iPhone rings 4 times then goes to voice mail.
    I know on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile the number of rings is set through the carrier. Have you called Sprint?
    Here is the manual, which is also bookmarked in Safari on your iPhone and can be added for free to your iBooks app through the iBookstore: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • 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 can I set the number of test sockets in my program?

    How can I set the number of test sockets in my program? I use LabWindows/CVI  6 and TestStand version 2.0.
    And I use BatchModel for the parallel UUT running. I didn't found program way to set the number of test socket. I think I should have it. In TestStand I can change the number of test sockets through menu Configure -> Model Options -> number of test sockets (I mean I do it by manual mode).
    Thank's a lot.
    Maria

    One way you can set the number of Test Sockets for your sequence is by overiding the ModelOptions Callback used by your sequence. Select All Sequences from the View drop-down then right click, select Sequence File Callbacks, select the ModelOptions callback and then click on Add. You can then select the Edit button to Edit the ModelOptions for your sequence. You can set other ModelOptions as required also.

  • How to set the number of rings before voice mail answers?

    How to set the number of rings before voice mail answers?

    For me its:
    1. Open the phone app and dial *#61# on the Keypad. Press the Call button.
    2. Locate this text on the screen: "Setting Interrogation Succeeded, Voice Call Forwarding, When Unanswered, Forwards to +" and record the 11-digit number after the + symbol.
    3. Touch the Dismiss button. Now enter this code on the Keypad: *61*+ followed by the 11-digit Forwards to number recorded in step 2, followed by *11 and *ringtime#. Ringtime is the number of seconds you want your iPhone to ring before voicemail picks up. Your finished code should look something like this:
    *61*+18555513466*11*30#
    In the example above the ring time is set to 30 seconds. Press the Call button.
    4. You should receive the message: Setting Activation Succeeded. Press Dismiss and next time you receive a call it will ring for the new amount of time before going to voicemail.

  • How do you change the number of rings before FIOS goes to voice mail?

    Currently my FIOS residential service picks up voicemail after 4 rings, thereby negating my answering machine on my phone. It is then hit or miss for the system telling me if we have a voice mail. I would prefer to use my phone answering machine
    How can I change the number of rings on FIOS to 6-8 more rings, in order for my phone answering machine to pick up?
    Thanks

    Call your voicemail access phone number and go to settings. There is an option for that.

    When people call me, Skype rings far to many times before voice mail comes on.  How do you reduce the number of rings on an inbound call, so that voice mail comes on in 4 to 5 rings?

    Hi, billwalker1125,
    Skype does not determine when to send calls to voice mail by the number of rings, but instead by the amount of time that has elapsed.  Check your settings (in Windows, it would be Tools -> Options -> Calls -> Voice Messages -> Start recording a voice message if ...   Remember to Save your changes!

  • How do you limit the number of rings before your answerphone kicks in?

    People calling me have sometimes complained that if I am not available to take the call, they have to wait for many rings - and hence a long time - before the messaging system kicks in. And sometimes, callers give up, assuming I don't have voicemail. I know you can limit the number of rings on other phones, but I haven't founf out how to do it with my iPhone. I'm sure it's easy though!!

    Your carrier sets this by time, not the number of "rings" since different ring tones take different times/ring.  The typical setting is 30 seconds, sometimes up to 40 seconds.  Contact your carrier to shorten it.
