Can somebody please tell me how to adjust the length of ring tones when a call comes in.....it rings probably 2/3 times before going to voice mail, barely giving me time to grab it....thanks.
Settings>>>> Phone>>>>Services Tab...
click on call forwarding and retrieve the settings.
here you can change the length of time before the call is forwarded to answerphone up to 30 seconds. more than enough time for you to get the phone from your handbag :wink:
Thanks....(I'll tell the wife!)

How can I increase the number of phone rings during an incoming call?
I just feel that 3 rings is sometimes too short to grab your phone, open it up, and decide if you are going to answer it or not.
call your phone company, they can do it for you immediately over the phone. some have a keypad phone combination that you can use, but they vary, call the phone company make them work for the money
Try this: Settings/phone/services. If you have "call forwarding" as an option then click on that and set the time before the call is forwarded to your voicemail
Thanks guys. I'll try it right now.
I tried it under settings. The longest phone ring they have is 30 seconds. I think it it too short, so I guess I'll give them a call.
I called Cingular (USA) customer support. Sadly the longest they can offer is 30 seconds. The only way I could think of is to disable my voicemail, and that should make my EXEC ring a lot longer. But can't, I need my voicemail.
Hi,
Can someone tell me how a can redirect a incomming call to the mailbox when I don't want to answer that call?
I only can decline the call and then the caller gets a busy tone and know that a pushed the call away....
Settings>Phone>Call Forwarding>Get Settings...
Make sure "No Answer" is ticked and diverts to your mailbox number.

Thanx for your help, but that one I know... :lol:
What I want is to stop the phone ringing and push it to the voicemailbox!
Now I have to wait 30 sec before the call is redirect to the mailbox...
In conjunction to "elyl's" suggestion, if you don't want to hear the phone ring, then turn the volume off. Otherwise you need a 3rd party software like Phone Alarm.

but sometimes you just don't wanna talk to a person that is calling you... and I don't mean because I'm busy or something just push it away to the voicemail.
I use Phonealarm but it didn't give me the option when the phone rings (with a certain person I don't wana talk to) push it to voicemail!
So now I leave it ringing and then it goes to the mailbox at last.
I've just tried it on my Magician. If you press the red/end button right after it ring then the call is redirected to the voice mail.
hmmm, when I push the red button it gives a busy tone to the caller...
Thanx for trying
do you have the other call divert (when busy, when out of range, etc.) functions active?
Must be an operator-dependent thing then, cos when I reject a call it gets sent to the mailbox. Dial into your mailbox and see if you can change the settings.

Finaly it is working!!
I just re enterd the voicemailbox number and send it again to the telecom provider.... :?
Thanx again for your help and testing...
great to know that you have it finally working
One day I learned (by accident), that if you use the hardware volume button while the phone rings, it will mute the ring tone. That way, you can let it "ring" in silence for the duration of the 30 seconds before it forwards to your voice mail.
I use the vol down in these situations, but I think it also mutes on vol up.
I have an Orange M600, but when people phone me & want to leave a message the phone rings for around 1 minute before being diverted to the answerphone which I feel is far too long.
Does anybody know how to shorten this waiting time, I have looked through the manuals and the only setting I can see is to change to answer after 3 rings without pushing any buttons which isn't what I want.
I think that's the Orange problem. You can't really get anything to make it faster. You can try calling your friend (on Orange) to see if it is the same 1 minute.

For example, to forward to 1234567890 after allowing your phone to ring for 25 seconds, you would enter:
*61*1234567890*11*25#
replace 1234567890 with your voice mail number...
should work on all gsm network...
So I upgrade from an 8125 to my 8525, and at one point I found this article in the Wizard forum about how to INCREASE the time before voicemail picked up. I was able to set it to something like 40 seconds. My 8525 seems to send my calls to voicemail after like 20...I've searched everything I can think of and it's not bringing me the result i want. Does anyone know how to do this. Thanks!
I asked my provider (orange UK) to lengthen the ring time + they gave me a code to put into the phone.
worked fine, maximum 30secs though
On t-mobile uk, I think that these settings are in the voicemail settings, ie you ring the voicemail number and it gives you a list of options.
I actually called Cingular and they said they can increase the ringer length on their end, but only to a maximum of 30 seconds. Kinda stinks, I would love a 40 second ringer. Oh well.
Cingular, several ways to change
1) In phone, under options, setting, call forwarding, there is an option to forward calls only if no answer, and you can set it to 5 to 30 seconds (in 5 second intervals).
2) Setup speed dials for changing.
*61*xxxxxxxxxx**yy#, where xxxxxxxxxx is the phone number that showed up in the forward if no answer above, and yy is the number of seconds to wring before going to voice mail.
I use method 2. When going into a meeting, I have a speed dial for going to vm after 10 seconds so that it does not vibrate and keep someone waiting for the phone to answer, when I won't be answering. When out, I speed dial to reset to 30 seconds.
I love stumbling across a post that answers a question I forgot about!
Nice!

Nice one!
I kept missing calls by the time I'd sruggled to get the thing out my pocket, then out its pouch!!
Was originally set to 15 secs, used method 1, now i have twice as long to answer!
no matter what ringtones i use they only ring for 17 seconds is there a setting or way to alter this.
and how can i silence an incoming call. id like the option to answer the call or press a silence button so the other caller still
thinks the call is ringing and that the call has not just been rejected.
thanks

Sounds like your calls get diverted to voicemail after 20 seconds (takes approx 3 seconds for the phone to ring on an incomming call). Setting your divert can be network dependant, but if you go into phone settings, there is an option called "divert" which yoy can change. Be warned - if on vodafone or other similar networks, the network handles the call diversion. However if you change this, you may be charged for the phone diverting calls to voice mail.
To mute the phone on incomming call, simply turn the phone face down on the desk. This should mute the ringer. If this does not work, you need to install HD Tweek or similar to set this option.
yes mate your right my phone does get divertd to voicemail but i was getting 29 seconds i think it was on my nokia n95 when that was set to divert. on orange you cant set divert on or of by the phone you have to ring the network but cancel divert.
as for the silence calls on flip if i have the phone in my pocket and someone calls the flip does not work as i have no surface to lay it flt on i just tried it .
so if anyone else has no solution the only thing i can think of is
1 cancel call divert with my network and hope there is a third party software that can manage my voice mail . any recommendations ?
2 any recommendations of any software to silence calls by press of a button ?
thanks
ok i managed to get the ringtone to ring longer before it goes to voicemail .
the settings for that are acually in the phone ardsar says but how can i get the
phone to silince callls without turning the phone over .
im looking for a press of a button method.
thanks
Press one of the volume buttons when your phone is ringing
blimey so easy eh when you know how .
cheers mate appreciated
or you can dial this number
**61*insert your voicemail number here*11*30#
if you then hit the call button and enter this your phone will ring for 30 seconds before going to voice mail.
cheers
