How do I increase the number of rings before the call goes into my voice mail? Right now, after two rings, the call goes into the voice mail message mode

What type of phone is this? Most home phones have a setting in them to adjust the number of rings. Retrieving voice mails requires the voice mail be set up first. To assist you further, please provide more details.

Go to Settings-Call Settings and increase the number of rings before the phone goes to Voice Mail. You may have inadvertently set it to 0.

This happens when the number of rings to answer of the provider voicemail is less than the number of rings to answer that the answer machine is set for. For example: if your provider voicemail rings to answer is set for 3 rings and the answer machine is set for 4 rings then the voicemail answers before the 4th ring, therefore the answer machine will never get a message. I would call the service provider's customer service number and request they increase the rings to answer above the number of rings to answer that the answer machine is set for. If you don't want voicemail to answer any calls(when your line is busy or when the answer machine is turned off) ask your service provider to disable voicemail.

When it stops ringing, the caller goes to your voice mail, right?

If so, then you need to contact your phone company and have them change your "Ring Cycle" -- that's the number of rings before the voice mail system picks up.

Some phone companies have a way for you to do this yourself from their website, other require that you call up the customer service line. Either way, the thing you want to adjust is your voice mail ring cycle.

Try out this code and enjoy your phone being free from voice mail issues.(#0021#) take care.

The Voice Mail feature is set by your phone company, not by the phone. Typically the phone company will set it for 20 seconds, or approximately 4 rings. This is called your voice mail "Ring Cycle"

Call them up (the customer service number should be on your phone bill) and they should be able to increase or decrease your ring cycle for you at no charge.

Hi,
This is a network specific setting. Type into phone (what iws written in the right box).

Set number of rings **61*YourVoiceMailNumber**N#@

YourVoiceMailNumber = your voice mail numer
N = Ring Time (up to 30sec)
@ = Send/OK button on your mobile phone

Good luck!

press *94, then press the number of rings you want 1-9. The tone will change and thats it.
