Shotening Rings When iPhone is On

Let's say you don't want to answer an incoming call when the iPhone is on. I've timed the standard ringtones and the custom ones I've made which come in around 30 sec. I've noticed the iPhone picks up after 6 rings, whether it's the standard or custom made sounds That's too long. Anyway to get it down to 4 ringtones?

iphone4, iOS 4

Try this... at your own risk though. Found it via Google...

1. enter #6111# and press send/talk on your phone.
2. write down the number your calls are currently forwarded to (usually +1401#######, but not always). this is your voicemail deposit number.
3. decide how long you want the phone to ring in 5 second intervals. the maximum time is 30 seconds. i'd recommend 25 seconds or less, as using 30 may cause you to be billed for a minute of airtime each time someone is forwarded to voicemail.
4. now enter *61[number from step 2] 11[number from step 3, use 2 digits]# and press send/talk.

example
voicemail deposit number is +14015551212
you want it to ring for 20 seconds
you would enter *61*+14015551212*1120# and press send/talk.
