How to change no. of rings before call divert?

[ffolliet]

sorry if this is obvious but i can't find it.

how does one increase the number of rings (delay) before a call diverts to voicemail?

or could someone write an app??

i struggle with a poor T-mo signal in my house so have to leave the phone in the hallway and can't always make the sprint in time!

Same problem here,
I called T-Mobile (150) and they confirmed number of rings cannot be amended from the phone, it is a network setting, she gave me a long code (about 16 chars I think) that I had to enter into the dialler and call. Phone now rings 5-6 times before being forwarded, much less frustrating. She did mention that each code is unique to each phone, so no point me reciting it here. and she confirmed any future network updates may revert me to three rings again by default so I would have to re-enter the code, therefore I have added it as one of my contacts.
Hope this helps

thanks for that Dave, i did as you suggested and things have improved. i did however ask for the means of calculating the number.

**61*,then your voicemail number as 44 number, then **25#

this (apparently) then extends the ring out period to its maximum.

hope that helps for those that follow...
