I want to change the number of rings or seconds til my phone goes to voicemail. I don't have enough time to get to my phone before it's goes to voicemail. I have called Verizon and they say they can't change it, I have to do it through the phone.
iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1
There is no setting for this on any iPhone, as such is controlled by your carrier. Call back & talk to a different CSR.
Only Verizon customer care can change the number of rings, there is no code you can input that will work.
This is not an iPhone setting its a setting on the carrier. There are codes you can dial on your phone to change the setting yourself, but they differ by carrier and they should have told you this
For Verizon I believe you:
Turn your phone on and press 58#
If you hear a dial tone that beeps three times, enter the number 8 for 8 rings, 6 for 6 rings, etc.
If you hear a regular dial tone, it wants a code...enter the number 46 for 8 rings...Sorry, not too sure of the codes for 6 or 4 rings.
Hope this helps - otherwise call Verizon and they remind them how their service works
Thanks -- I'll keep calling Verizon until I get someone who knows something!
You're welcome.
Apologies wjosten is correct disregard the second part of my post - Verizon uses the code on residential lines only unlike other carriers.
I just saw that it can depend on carrier for sure. Videotron for example it says:
Dial *94 then wait for tone and enter desired number of rings from 0-9 before it goes to voicemail.
change number of rings to voicemail
