Are the number of rings or number of seconds still controlled by the carrier rather than Apple? Even with iPhone 11? Before calls go to Voicemail, I mean.

How to change the number of rings before voice mail picks up My iPhone 12 goes to voice mail in 20 seconds. I have called ATT tech support twice to change that to 40 seconds, which I am told is the max. Both phone calls have taken about 45 minutes to both reach the right tech person and give them time to make the settings. I was told the first time that the change would take up to 24 to 48 hours. I waited and the calls still picked up after 20 seconds. On the second try I was told that the change was made and would be effective immediately. After I ended the call with the tech I tried the phone again several times and it still picked up after 20 seconds. Apple’s instruction is to call the carrier. In this case that is ATT. So I guess I will try once again, but I would love to hear from anyone else if they have resolved this issue successfully.

Shorten the number of rings before voicemail I would like to change the number of rings before my calls go to voicemail. Currently it rings for approximately 30 seconds before going to voicemail and I would like to change it to 15 seconds. I have read a lot of answers on the internet saying to simply call *#61# and record the number shown for the voice call forwarding when unanswered. The problem I am having is that all the shown features are shown to be disabled so no number appears. How do I enable this feature? My carrier is T-Mobile.
