Setting number of rings

Hi - I have a Nokia E51. It only rings 2 times before deverting...I would like to increase the ring times. I have looked everywhere for the setting but can't find it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Mark

Not sure whether this is what you're looking for, but you can use something like the following to change the timeout value before your phone diverts to voicemail:
**61*121**15# this sets timeout to 15 seconds
**61*121**30# this sets timeout to 30 seconds
I'm on contract with Vodafone in the UK, so the "121" value in the string above refers to the voicemail number on Vodafone. If you're with a different provider, I suggest you try replacing this with your relevant voicemail phone number.
Also, I'm not sure whether this string only works with Vodafone, or whether it works (after changing voicemail phone number part) with other providers too.
Perhaps you could try it and post here to let others know?
Cheers
Dave
My previous phones:
6310i --> SE K750i --> E50 --> E61i --> E71
... much prefer the Nokia phones, especially the E71

  • Setting number of rings for incoming call

    how does one control the number of rings regarding incoming calls before it goes to voice mail.

    You can do it manually - it's a bit of a fiddle but it works. You need to specify the length of time in *seconds* that you want your phone to ring, before voicemail kicks in. This article describes how to do it step by step - I've followed it and it works perfectly

    Found it.....this is not my great stuff, but from another user. I did try it and it works great!
    You can do 1 of two things..
    1-Call At&t to make your ringer longer
    2-Or you can try it yourself... (Found on another forum)
    The following codes should allow you to control the delay from 5 to 30 seconds on any GSM phone:
    this was not working so I removed it.....let me find a better one that works.

  • Limited number of rings before BT Answer works

    I am trying to increase my set number of rings from seven, which is too few to get to the phone sometimes! BT haven't been helpful on their live chat and told me this is impossible without incurring extra costs and upgrading to Call Minder. I don't see why I should incur extra costs. Does anyone have any ideas please?

    as far as i am aware there is no way to change the number of rings on BT answer call minder or your own answer phone

  • 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.

  • HT4515 how do I set the number of rings before the caller goes to voice mail ?

  • 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.

    The following assumes that you are using ICM with an IPIVR etc (not using CVP), as the answer is different for CVP

  • 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 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.

  • Number of rings setting?

    I recently installed iOS4 on my fairly new G3S, 32 GB and so far have not experienced the problems mentioned in a number of the topics here, other than perhaps a shorter time between battery charges. My question is pretty simple, but I can't find anything in the User Guide or on-line that deals with it.
    What I would like to do is increase the number of rings for an incoming call to give me a few more seconds before the call goes to Voice mail. I've missed some calls because I couldn't get to my phone in time. I thought I would be able to change it in Settings, but could not find anything. Does anyone know if this can be done and, if so, point me to a place where I can learn how to do it. Thanks.

  • 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.
