Setting number of rings before voicemail

Mc9 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 18:01:36 GMT

Hi.

I am trying to extend the number of rings on my phone before voice mail picks up. I have tried using the code **61*+15875884002*11*30 (I am in Alberta) but I get a message saying something to the effect that I don't have Talk and to go on self-serve. Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance

Do you have talk on your plan?

If yes, staff member will see if you can extend ringtones.

Hey @Mc9

I understand that you would like to extend the number of rings before going to voicemail.

This is actually something that must be done on your device - if applicable. Depending on the phone, calls go to voicemail after about 4 to 6 rings.

How many times does it ring before your vocemail comes on ?

Can anyone tell me how to set this - set the number of ring - 6 rings before it's going voicemail.

Thanks

What does dialing *#61# (send) display?
That should tell you what it's currently set to.

Here's all the info you'll need to set a different delay.

I would try in increments of 5 seconds to increase it, and I think 30 seconds is max. Mine is set for 25 seconds, that seems to be the default.

This works. I'm at 25. How do I extend it to 30 or more? Thanks.

I was with Bell. I keep missing calls at PM.

I keep messing up with the tags. How do I set the number of rings? With this string?

I found out my rings are set to 25. I want 35 if the max is not 30.

**61*+15875884002*11*30 (The 587 is my telephone number?)

Thanks.
