Setting time (number of rings)  before voicemail picks up.

Voice mail is intercepting calls sometimes after only three rings.  I want to set to 30 seconds.  How do I do that?

It is already set by the system at 30 seconds and unless something has changed recently, it can't be changed.  Using a different ringtone sometimes helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 do i set the number of rings before the coller goes to voice mail on my iphone?
    Thanks you.

    Determined by your carrier, so contact them.

  • 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.

  • Chaning number of rings before voicemail kicks in

    I need more time to get to my phone. The number of rings should be user settable.

    It is. You're not actually setting the number of rings, but the length of time before voicemail picks up. You can do this in one of two ways:
    1. Call AT&T and ask them to increase it.
    or
    2. Follow the instructions in the following post:

    (I realize this is from the Cingular Palm support forum, but it doesn't matter. The process is the same for any GSM phone.)

  • 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 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.

  • Number of rings before voicemail

    My phone only rings four times before voicemail kicks in. How do I change this to give me more te to answer?

    This is a setting on the carrier end, not the phone. The easiest way is to call your carrier and ask them to make the change. There are codes you can dial on your phone to change the setting yourself, but they differ by carrier and with no location in your profile, we don't know which carrier you have. But call them. It's not a number of rings, actually, but a time - the max is usually 30-40 seconds.

  • 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.

  • Setting Number of Rings before Voicemail

    It seems one cannot.

    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.

  • How do I extend the length of time my iphone rings before voicemail cuts in? If I need to use a password, how do I access that on my iphone? I'm a new user.

    HELP!! My voicemail cuts in after just 15 seconds of ringing, which is rarely long enough for me to answer it. How do I increase the length of time it rings? Can I choose not to have voicemail at all, so my phone can just continue ringing until I answer?
    If I need to enter a voicemail password or key, can you tell me step by step because I can't see how to do anything except retrieve and delete voicemail msgs. I'm on O2-UK, if that makes any difference at all. Thank you

    If my response has been either helpful or correct, could you indicate that marking which it is in order that others searching for a similar solution can find find this easily.
    FYI, it's considered bad forum etiquette to ask for points.

    Thank You

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