Most of the newer phones have a feature that quiets the ringtone when you touch the phone or move it. You can deactivate this feature in the settings menu. I hopes this helps you..

To extend the number of rings before your phone goes into the answer message option, change the settings for Answer delay option as described below.
You can set number of rings before your phone answer message kicks in. You can set answer message to begin after 2, 4, 6 or 8 rings.
1. Press <Menu> and up down to select ANS Machine
2. Press <OK> and <up/down> to select TAM Settings
3. Press <OK> and <up/down> to select ANSWER DELAY (OPTIONS: 2, 4, 6 OR 8 RINGS)
4. Press <OK> and <up/down> to select to select desired delay.
5. Press <OK> to confirm.

this feature is set by your carrier. Call customer service and ask them to extend rings to 6 - 8.

Contact your carrier's customer service. Ask them to set the maximum time before shunting the call to voicemail. They deal in time rether than number of rings. On my AT&T iPhone, the default was 20 seconds and they increased it to their maximum of 30 seconds.

From the handset, press Select/Menu and then press the down arrow to get to Ans Setup. Press Select again. Go down to Ring Time. Then select the number of rings (6, 9, 12 or Toll Saver (TS)). Press Select then press Flash/Exit to exit the menu system. Toll Saver picks up after 2 rings if you have new messages or 4 rings if you don't. This lets you hang up before the answering system picks up if you are using the remote phone access feature.

Note: if you have Voice Mail from your telephone provider, you need to set that to a longer number of rings separately. Consult with your phone company on that option.

The manual for the XDECT SSE25 is available from Uniden here: http://www.uniden.com.au/RESOURCES_MAIN/pdfs/XDECT_SSE25_OM.pdf . See page 19 (23 of the PDF). You will need Adobe Reader to access the manual.

I hope this helps.

This is usually a setting that your phone service provider sets. I am in Australia, and we would contact our service provider 'Telstra' and ask them to extend the ring time to 30 seconds (maximum).

This is usually set by your network provider, so you have 2 choices.

1) Call the network Customer Service number and ask them to extend the time before it diverts.

2) Try the following network code to change it yourself:

**61*XXXXX**TT# (then send/dial)
XXXXX = The number you dial to access your voicemail (if it starts with a zero remove it)

TT = The time in seconds before diverting. The maximum value is usually 30, although some people report problems when using 30 seconds. I believe the maximum is specified by the individual network, so try different value 15 / 20 / 25 / 30.
