change number of rings to voicemail

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

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
