NUMBER OF RINGS

Answering system settings Number of rings before the unit answers calls You can change the number of times the phone rings "Ring count" before the unit answers calls. You can select 2 to 7 rings, or "Toll saver". The default setting is "4". "Toll saver": The unit's answering system answers at the end of the 2nd ring when new messages have been recorded, or at the end of the 4th ring when there are no new messages. If you call your phone from outside to listen to new messages , you will know that there are no new messages when the phone rings for the 3rd time. You can then hang up without being charged for the call. 1 {MENU} i {#}{2}{1}{1} 2 {V}/{^}: Select the desired setting. i {Save} i {OFF}

go to settings and increase the number

The KX-TG2313 isn't an answering machine. It will ring until you pick up, an answering machine or voicemail system picks up, or the caller hangs up.

To change the ring count, refer to the documentation for whatever answering machine or voicemail system you have on your phone line. If you require further assistance, please add a comment to this question and identify the answering machine or voicemail system.

Press and hold the STOP/SET button for two seconds. After the time and day you can change the rings to answer.

Full details are in the "Changing the Settings" section in the third column of the manual. If you need a manual, you can download one at

There should be a setup button.My machine looks to be the same,just an older model.When you press the setup button,it will tell you the current setting.Press memo/repeat or annc/skip to change higher or lower numbers.After you have the setting you want,press the setup button until it exits the system and it will repeat the settings you have selected.Mine also has instructions molded on the back,but nothing for setting # rings.Good luck,Greg

Since you declined to specify the model of your VTect system, I can only direct you to enter it into the search box here and download the manual to see how to change the number of rings.

1. Press set button
2. Use next and previous buttons to select number of rings setting and press set.

I hope this helps. Here's the manual:

Some of the older models have a slide switch on the side or bottom of the machine that could change from 1 to 3 rings. If you have a set up menu for greetings the number of rings to choose may be there when you go to record your announcement. Do you have the Model number?

I am also trying to change the number of rings before the answering machines toll saver activates.
