Contact your carrier. That’s under their control. It’s not controlled by the phone.

Kilted Tim gave you the exact insight, this is 100% controlled by your carrier, there is no other option.

You will need to contact your cell provider. They set the time in seconds before it goes to voicemail, not by how many rings. In some cases you will be able to do that yourself by logging into your account on your cell providers website and other times there is a code that you enter into your phone like you are making a phone call. It will all depend on your carrier and if you are not able to use one of those options, then calling them is your only solution.

Voicemail greetings question -how many rings before voice mail picks up?

How to increase rings on iphone.

This worked today on my iPhone 13 with AT&T prepaid plan:

Settings -> phone-> turn off Live Voicemail

On the phone keypad, dial *#61# to get the phone number of the call center for voicemail.

It should be +1 followed by the area code and seven digit number. After the + sign, there will be 11 digits.

Next, on the phone keypad, dial *61*, followed by the eleven digits, followed by *11*40*#

There are no blanks, and the number 40 toward the end is the number of seconds before voicemail.

Example: *61*16501234567*11*30*# for area code 650, number 123-4567, and 30 seconds.

Incorrect information. This is NOT controlled by the carrier, if it was, all phones from the same carrier would pick up on the same number of rings. For tmoble, different phones pick up at different times, iphone picks up faster (fewer rings) than other phones. Settings for all 5 phones are IDENTICAL per tmobile customer support.

Sorry, but YOU are the one who is incorrect. Carriers deliver calls and control how long the phone rings before going to voicemail. It has ALWAYS been so. You can believe what you want, but you can't create facts which don't exist.

I'm on AT&T and I too wanted the phone to ring longer. A call to AT&T and they increased the length of time my phone rings. No one else but AT&T could do this for me.

That’s exactly what happened to me but one time they gave me some method of fixing it that didn’t work and they just give you the runaround the whole time. I think it has something to do with the iPhone. I think androids were always able to do it I don’t think iPhones can.

No, it doesn't.

So far, all that you have really told us is that you have had poor service from AT&T. That is something that we as users.....just like you.....cannot control.

Since AT&T has just had another massive security leak, you might want to think about whether you want to continue with them.

Not sure what all these "call your carrier" stuff is about. I have a google voice number. It is forwarded to several phones, a pixel, and iphone 13, and a samsung S23. ALL are tmobile. The iphone sends calls to voice mail right away. Pixel and S23 take longer. SAME CARRIER, iphone sends to voicemail much faster.

SO, its NOT just a carrier thing, different phones, on tmo, take different times before sending to voicemail, with iphone being the fastest.

How do we set an IPHONE to wait longer before it sends calls to voicemail?
