Increase Ringer time before it diverts to voicemail

[Lord Anubis]

I have Bold 9000. Is there anyway to increase the Ringer time before it diverts to voicemail. Currently the option in profiles allows only 3 rings. I want at least 10. Thing is that by the time I have got my phone out of my pocket and out of the holster it already has gone to voicemail. Any advice? I'm on MTN.

Thx

Have you been able to change this on any of your previous phones? I thought it was a network thing and there was no way around it.

I was previously on Vodacom and my phone used to ring for about 30 seconds before going to voicemail, but ever since I got my Bold last year on MTN it goes to voicemail in like 10 seconds

Mine takes about 30 seconds. Try a different ringtone (test it out with an mp3 song and see how long it takes).

Ok found a fix! You dial from your handset *61*XXX1483XXXXXXX*11*30# so if your number is for example 084999777 you replace the X's and seperate the first three digits with 1483 like this *61*0841483999777*11*30# the number after the *11* and before the # is amount of seconds before it diverts, you can set it to 10,20 or 30.
