Make my iphone 5 calls ring less prior to going to voicemail?

How do I make my iphone 5 ring only 4 times instead of 5? People give up leaving a voicemail because it rings so long prior.

It's set by the system at 30 seconds; sometimes changing the ringtone helps.

After 4 or 5 rings the call gets dropped instead of going to voicemail.

I recently upgraded to callmanager 7.1 and now whenever anyone calls our main number, if we do not anwser it within 4 or 5 rings it will drop the call, instead of going to voicemail.
Please help and thanks
George

Hello George.
Since you have upgraded, I'm assuming that CFw was working before.
Have you checked the CSS in the Forwarding section of the line?
Also try calling the same number internally and let it forward to voice mail. Does it have same symptom? Even if it fails, by any chance do you see the number on the calling phone changed to Voice mail pilot number at all?
Thanks

Yosemite iphone call rings on recipients phone but doesn't connect

Hi, I'm running yosemite GM and iOS 8.1.
When I try to place a call, Yosemite shows a called failure message. The recipient's phone rings and they can pickup. But the connection is dropped on my side.
Similarly, when I receive calls, my Mac rings, but when I click the answer button, I get a call failure message.
Troubleshooting steps I have taken:
1) Log out and back into icloud on the mac and phone
2) Log out of icloud on imessages
3) Made sure that my mac only had one active network interface
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Does anyone know how to make my iphone 5 ring and make keyboard clicks again?

When i slide the ringer bar in settings it will make the ring but not when people call me. not to mention the keyboard clicks? Thanks if anyone knows how to fix this

Check:

How do you make the Iphone 4 ring from its speaker while it is connected to a charging dock?

I have a basic charging dock for my Iphone. It allows it to be plugged into my MacBook via usb or to a wall charger it also has a line out port. I typically just use it to charge on my bed side table. When its connected and the phone rings it just vibrates with so ringtone, i believe its trying to send the ring tone out via the line out. Am i able to tell it to just use the inbuilt phone speaker?
Thanks

I agree with randy something your doing on your computer is compressing the pictures when I open a photo taken with my iPhone 4 its 1936 X 2592 which is a huge photo it only shows me the picture at 33 percent so im not sure what your doing differently my document size is 26 inches by 36 inches if that helps

HELP -- My iPhone only rings 2 times, then goes to voice mail!

is there any way for me to extend the rings to 5?

If you're using AT&T, dial 611 from your phone and ask the representative to set it for you. They could set it up to 30 seconds before going to vioce mail.

IPhone 4S is on, but not goes to voicemail on the first try

Dear Community,
My wife's iphone 4s always goes to the voicemail the first time you try to call her.
We change provider 2 times, the second time in another country and it still happens.
After you call her right away again, it will ring normaly.
Hopefully someone can help as it now seems to everyone her phone isn't working.
Kind regards,
Robin

It is fixed, seemed to be the not disturb feature.
In case anyone has the same problem.
If you call within 3 minutes it will go through else will block the call.
The ones that are in favourite can still call.

IPhone 3GS rings after 5 seconds

This is very weird and it happens to my iPhone 3GS and my sister's 3GS. So when someone calls the iPhone, it doesn't ring immediately. It actually takes at least 5, sometimes more seconds to ring. This is a lot of time and I miss important calls. Both phones are FACTORY unlocked and work on T-Mobile but it's the same on AT&T so it's not provider's issue since other phones don't have this problem. I saw a lot of people have had similar problem. Does any one know if I can fix this? It's definitely not a defective phone it's just the way it is with the iphone and I don't have any idea why it takes 5-10 seconds before it starts ringing

Let me explain this again. It doesn't go to voicemail quickly. Imagine phone 1 and phone 2. I make a call from a phone 1, wait 5-6-7 seconds and phone 2 (the iPhone) starts ringing
Let me see again if I understand what you are saying. When do you start counting these seconds? Is it from the first time you hear a ring in your ear on the phone you are calling from? I've had a number of phones, and I know that calls need setup time, generally a little more than landline phones. I know in a later post you mention a Nokia only taking < 1 second. You also say it is not going to voicemail too quickly. I guess my real delemia here is, how are you missing calls if they are not going to voicemail. Do they just quit ringing because the person on the other end is hanging up? How long are they waiting, or in your case, how long did it ring before it went to voicemail before you hung up on your test call, I guess the question is how many rings. I'm not understanding why this delay in the beginning of ringing is troubling you if the calls is not being rerouted to voicemail, therefore impacting your ability to answer it.
The standard troubleshooing steps are power off/on the phone, if that doesn't help, then a reset, holding the power and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then releasing, ignoring the slide to power off screen. The next step is a restore, first from a backup, the next as a new phone or not from backup. The next step is outside of user troubleshooting and that is to send or take it to Apple, however since you purchased these units in England, that is where you would have to go for service, since the iPhones are serviced in the country they were sold in.
Hope one of these help.

Best Iphone 3g Protection which doesnt make your iPhone Bulky / Ugly !

Hi,
Im trying to find the perfect protection for my iphone... In general, i really dont like the big ugly colored hard cases, or the soft one either ( it makes ure iphone harder to slide out of your pockets ) ... not only do i find them ugly, but they add bulk to the iphone, which is already a bit big to my taste ive always had thin and slim phones before... Anyways i guess hard/soft cases main advantages is providing protection against falls...
Since i want my iphone to look like and iphone ( not like an ugly case ) i think what i need is a protection "skin" and after some research i think ive found the best one : http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/apple-iphone-3g-cases-screen-protectors-cove rs-skins-shields.php
the invisibleshield ... it covers the iphone completely and looks pretty efficient against scratches...
However i dont know if it makes the iphone touch screen less responsive, also i dont know if it needs to be replaced often or if it leaves stickyness or marks when removed. finely its a bit pricey , 25$ , but still within my budget...
Can anyone help me choose some protection for my iphone 3g
Thanks

hi thanks for the link,
however there is no clear all around winner...
If i could, id keep my iphone naked, but, i dont want to be paranoid all the time about how and where i put my iphone.
So to sum it up, ive got 5 choices :
Best Skin Ever skin
Cost : 8$
notes : Apparently this one is ok, it has front and back coverage. however i dont think i like the way the corners are being covered, it seems very obvious that there is a "skin" on and i am guessing that dirt can collect easely on the corners like that.
http://www.bestskinsever.com/servlet/the-88/iPhone-3G-Skin/Detail
Power Support Crystal Film Set
Cost : 15$
Notes : Only has protection for the front ( screen ) , and it comes with 1 antiglare film and 1 normal "clearer" film. Apparently it is somewhat "hard" being compared to thin plexiglass material as opposed to the other skin material which are more like plastic skins...
http://www.powersupportusa.com/products/iphone_filmset.php
InvisibleShield
Cost: 25$
Notes : Apparently the back side is very hard to install, very often the corner will not be good and look ugly, also the texture of the material is not the clearest and it is also more "rubbery" adding grip, it has a somewhat noticable "orange fruit peel" skin texture under certain angle... on the other hand it is very very resistant and long lasting, does not leave any residu when removed. has lifetime waranty. It also has the best coverage apparently.
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/apple-iphone-3g-cases-screen-protectors-cove rs-skins-shields.php
BodyGuardz
Cost : 25$
Notes : this one is apparently good, apparently it is clearer than the InvisibleShield and easier to install. It cover front and back. and comes with 1 replacement set.
http://www.bodyguardz.com/AppleiPhone_3Gp/nl-baip-0608.htm
FullBodyFilm
Cost : 17$
Notes : Apparently the clearest and smoothest and overall best according to iLounge. Their website is HORRIBLE however, it looks like a scam. It covers the whole iphone, you have 2 face piece, one is glare resistant and the other is normal.
http://www.fullbodyfilms.com/Home_Page.html
My Options :
Currently im thinking, maybe i should go with the fullskinfilm.
OR
Maybe i should get the back side from either BestSkinEver or from InvisibleShield ( you cannot order the back side only from the other brands ) and then buy the front from the power support crystal set.
What do you guys think ?

Unable to make or receive calls

I have had my phone for about 4 months and all of a sudden I am unable to make calls on my blackberry 3g 9300. I receive call failed error or no circuit/channel available. Also if you call into my phone it goes to voicemail. I am also not receiving all of my texts.
If I switch the phone to 2g I am them able to make receive calls but as soon as I go back to 3g I have the same issue. I am also not gaining access to the internet.
I have tried removing the battery and restarting but I am still having the same issue.
Anyone help please.

hi mate, have you checked that you don't have anything like a screen protector or case blocking the proximity sensor? also try performing a soft reset, and ensuring that you are up to date with the latest firmware for your device, and you are up to date with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store.

Only 2 rings before going to voicemail!

Hi, my lumia 820 only rings twice before it goes to voicemail. This often isn't long enough to get across the room! How do I get it to ring more than that? I can't find out anywhere
Thanks!

Call divert is a network function. While it is possible to change some settings by sending shortcodes to the network from the phone, not all networks use the same codes or offer the same settings. The simplest way to deal with this is to contact your network support and request they change the settings for you as required.

I've been using Ringtone Maker to add ringtones to my iPhone. The app is now telling me my music I bought from the iTunes store is not exportable. I downloaded a new app called Ringer and it says my song "has no audio tracks". What am I doing wrong?

never mind. i think it just makes you review the information -- it looks like you have to click through everything.

IPhone 4 does not make or receive calls/text at a location it used to.HELP!

I started experiencing this sometime last week. It does not make any sense to me so I ask you. My phone does not make or receive phone calls and texts while I am at my workplace. It had worked find from when I got the phone (Late August) through January. If it stopped working completely I'd figure it was a dead zone or something, although they do not just pop up out of nowhere. But it works sporadically. Like if i got to send a text maybe 1 out of every 4 will work, same with receiving them. And this is the same with phone calls. I will receive a call, get through maybe 15 seconds of it, then the call gets dropped. Then for the remainder of the day (as I do not use it much during work) it will not receive a call, it goes right to voicemail. I have tested this by repeatedly calling my phone from my work landline. It rings fine on that end, so others wouldn't suspect I am having an issue, and goes to voicemail. I left a voicemail and my phone did not alert me to it for over 10 minutes (it never told me I had a missed call) During this timeframe I also attempted to make phone calls from my iPhone, they would not ring, it would immediately drop. But again, it is sporadic. So after 5 or 6 times of attempting making phone calls one goes through. I had made an appointment at the Apple Store the first day that this happened but once I was on the road to the store I got all my texts, voicemails, pictures that I had attempted to send earlier, so I thought it pointless since I had no real proof of this happening. But now it seems to happen everyday, it just happened which prompted me to write this. Again, its only at work, and only recently started happening. There is no cell tower issue, everyone elses phone works here. I have turned off the phone, both a soft and hard reset, reset network setting, turned off/on 3G, Cell Data, taken out the SIM, moved it, etc. Everything short of getting another phone, but it works perfectly fine everywhere else. Any ideas???

I ended up taking my phone in to the Genius Bar, but we were unable to diagnose the problem. The genius said she had never seen anything like this before. We tried everything to figure out if it was hardware or software related, but never concluded anything. Instead of paying >$150 to fix/replace, I bought the iPhone5. iPhone5 is amazing. Maybe it was fate.

When I want to make a phonecall with my iphone5, I hear absolutely nothing....no ringing and no talking when connection established. When I make the same call but now on speaker, no problem or what so ever, can anyone help me ?

Hello there, RobenCaatje.
The following Knowledge Base article is specific for the issue you're describing:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
Specifically:
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
