Re: increasing time before a call goes to voice mail
Hi Sieghard, did you also test to see whether in fact callers still go to your voicemail? Cheers, Grant On 9/3/12, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello Grant, Thanks for these instructions.

Hi Grant, Thanks very much for the article. That did answer my question and since I have att here, the instructions were perfect.

RE: increasing time before a call goes to voice mail
Hi Don, Not sure how this works with your carrier, but if the number of rings is adjustable, this would be a carrier-specific feature just as voice mail is from your carrier and has nothing to do with the iPhone. On my business landline dialing *94 followed by the desired number of rings before voice mail picks up will set this. However, I was told by my carrier here in Canada, Telus, that this feature was currently only available for some customers. I am not sure why this isn't something that can easily be programmed as is possible on the landline, but that's apparently the way it is.

Re: increasing time before a call goes to voice mail
Hi Don, actually, there may well be a way to do this depending upon your carrier, but it's a little technical. I was writing a bunch of instructions for you to try, but really, the below article from Lifehacker summarizes things nicely.

Yes, many phones provide a frontend for adjusting these standard GSM settings. iPhones, however, do not.

RE: increasing time before a call goes to voice mail
Hello Don, While I have only done this on the ATT Wireless network, in recent years, I'm sure all of the major carriers allow the same customization. There is no setting on the iPHone that will allow you to set the number of rings or the amount of time before a call goes to voicemail. In order to do this you must contact your wireless provider. Please be aware that many of the phone support people do not know how to do this successfully on the iPhone. Once, I had to call three times before they were able to save my settings correctly.

Re: increasing time before a call goes to voice mail
Can it be done with Sprint at all? If Google Voice ever fixed the false tone triggering stuff they had when integration was new, I'd think about going with integrating again, but the downside was that it seemed like their voicemail picked up faster than Sprint's normally does. Would there be a way to change that? - Original Message - From: M.
