Answering machine picks up after 3 rings .

SOURCE: Answering machine doesn't pick-up reliably

I found in the manual that if the machine doesn't answer after the correct number of rings, then it may be the ringing system used by the phone company. But I have also heard of people with VOIP (such as Vonage) having problems with this as well.

i downloaded the owners manual from uniden at the link above , and from what i see its on page 26 of this pdf manual ,

enter the answer set up menu , and then the ring time sub menu , press volume up / down to select a ring time ( toll saver , 2 times , 4 times or 6 times ) then press the "OK" soft key , you will hear a confirmation tone . good luck

The phone does not have this facillity.However,switching the answer machine "OFF" allows me to lengthen the ringtone to 16 rings as on the Users Guide.

Many thanks for your interest,
