how can I get my phone to ring for longer

Hi,

I think there is a special code you should dial in order to get your phone to ring longer. However , the code depends on the carrier you have. So, I think the best way would be to contact your carrier or try to search in their web site.

For example, this is what vodafone says: http://support.vodafone.com.au/articles/FAQ/change-the-ring-time-before-Voicemai l-answers-phone

I hope it helps.

As stated, that is a carrier feature/function. How (and if) it can be changed depends on the carrier. Contact your (or check its support website).
