Increase number of rings before pickup

How do I increase the number of rings before pickup on the iPhone4?

Apple needs to provide better advice to its iPhone customers on this issue -- there is nothing on this topic in the iPhone manual.
My iPhone 4S rings for 4 rings (about 10 seconds) before the call transfers to voicemail. I would like the time to be extended to about 15-20 seconds.
After spending more time than I would like to determining that the manual does not address this topic, and searching the internet, I called my wireless provider (Verizon), who said they extended the ring time on their switch, but it failed to register on my iPhone. The Verizon rep conferenced in an Apple rep, who said the iPhone could not be changed in this respect.
This is basic stuff -- even if it does involve some interaction between Apple and the wireless service provider. It is one of the first things I have attempted to modify on my phone (immediately after I programed in my voicemail). If the phone cannot be modified in this respect, Apple should say so in its manual, and not have everyone be forced to figure out how to try to fix this problem for themselves.

Increase number of rings before answer phone

Hi
Nokia 6500
How do you increase the number of rings before the call automatically goes to answerphone? I keep missing my calls.
It's a REALLY simple question I know, but I have searched the net and read the manual and can't find an answer.
Does anyone know if it can be done and how?
Many thanks in advance.

hi
i had a real problem and found this answer on av forum which worked.i thought of sharing with you all as i too was being driven crazy by the number of missed calls as it would go on divert after only 5 seconds
for o2 it is **61*901*11*20#
where 901 is the voice mail no and 20 is the seconds delay you wish before divert kicks in.
it can be set as 5,10,15,20 or 30 .
hope this helps.

Increasing Number of Rings Before Voicemail Pickup

I can't figure out how to let it ring longer before going to voicemail on my 3G iPhone. Any thoughts? Thanks.

You would need to call ATT and request that they adjust the number of rings.

Call your carrier. It's controlled by them and is based on time, not number of rings.

Updating my iPhone 5 software has shortened the number of rings before the answer phone kicks in, how do I extend the time delay?

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.

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.

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.

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?

3315 - Number of rings before diversion to voicema...

Is there any way of setting the number of rings before diversion to voicemail?
Currently my 3315 rings about 6 times and then diverts. This is too quick for me and I want to make it (say) 12 rings.
I cannot find anything on this function in the owner's guide.
Thanks!

I also received this belated but nicely detailed response from Nokia Support, so I'm posting it here for posterity:
In response to your enquiry, the extension of a ring time is a network related feature. Hence, network features are not listed in the phone's user guide.
You may contact your network provider to request for the ringing time to be extended to the maximum time (normally its 30 seconds).
If this has been done, you can check if the time delay has been set to the maximum time from the phone.
1) Menu>scroll to Call Divert and press select
2) Scroll to Divert if not answered and press Select
3) select Activate and press OK
4) select Voice mailbox number and press OK
At this point, if the call feature has been activated, you will be able to see step (5) as per below. Otherwise, contact your network provider to request them to activate the call divert service and repeat the steps.
5) Active:Voice Calls, press Details
6) scroll to Delay and press OK
7) You will be able to see the time in which the phone will ring before diverting the call to your voice mailbox.

Reduce number of rings before Voicemail

I would like to reduce the number of rings before my voicemail comes on on my Blackberry Z10. It is forwarded from my desk phone and that means that customers are waiting an excessive amount of time before my voicemail kicks in on my BB. I called my carrier (Rogers) and they said they were unable to do this. I'm not sure if their tech support was correct in this, as I've seen on other forums that this is the process by which you change the length of the ring tones.
Is there a way to reduce the number of rings before voicemail on my Blackberry Z10 in my settings?
Thanks

*61 *NNN NNN NNNN *11 *X#
Where X is ranges from 5 to 30 seconds before a call get forwarded to the voice mailbox
And NNN NNN NNNN is the VoiceMail number provided by the Carrier
You can locate the Carrier Voicemail Number in
Phone Settings/Call Forwarding/Forward If Buzy

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.
