How to change the number of rings before going to voicemail?

hi, i have call forwarded my calls from my macpro (skype) to my iphone4s and want to change the number of rings to 15 seconds.  Can someone help please?

You'd need to contact your carrier. They're the only ones who can change that.

  • How do you change the number of rings before going to voicemail on ios7

    my phone only rings for like 4 rings then goes to voicemail I need it longer help!?!?

    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.

    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.

    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?

  • 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

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

  • An extra charge for changing the number of rings before voicemail picks up??

    After trying all the tips I could find about changing the number of rings it takes before the voice mail picks up (the 58#, trying access setup on the vm, changing it online, etc…), I finally called the customer support line.  I was put on hold for a few minutes (not a problem) only to have the customer service person return to say that he cannot change it because I would have to pay for the "upgraded" voice mail that is not included in my plan (the plan I just signed up for last month). I find it absolutely absurd that moving the number of rings for vm from 4 to 6 justifies an added cost.   If anyone knows the magic on how to do this for a line that is in the Dallas Ft Worth area, I would be very appreciative.  As for the extra charge to adjust your own voice mail, you can draw your own conclusion on how fair that is...
    And I don't buy that it is not as simple as it appears... if you can program the thing to pickup on three rings then you should be able to adjust the forwarding  and vm to pick up on 6.  i have never had this problem with any other carrier.

    I called tech support, not customer service, and had my rings moved back a few so my answering machine would pick up first.  Voicemail is for back up in case I don't answer call waiting.
    It was free.

    I don't believe it is possible to change the time between dialing and when it switches to voicemail.

  • Rings before going to voicemail

    How do you set the number of rings before going to voicemail.

    This is the code for extending the ringing time with Vodphone... I've set it on a few phones and it works. The 121 portion of the code if the voicemail number so if another network is different, it's that bit that you change.
    The 30 at the end is the number of seconds it rings, I think you can also change that to 20 or 25 or whatever you fancy.
    Tap the phone icon to bring up the phone keypad
    Type in the following code as if dialing a number: *61*121*1130# then press call.
    You'll get an on screen message saying you've changed the voicemail settings (or something like that).

  • Changing the number of rings to voicemail?

    Is there any way to change the number of rings before voicemail picks up?  Have looked through everything and can't find anything.  I would like to lengthen the number of rings so I don't miss as many calls.

    The way you change it is specific to your provider. Here are the instructions to change it on AT&T.
    On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
    Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
    Write down the number (including +1)
    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
    Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
    Not sure about the other providers. If I find the instructions, I'll post them.

  • 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.
