Ring time extension

[Tubi1]

Hi all,

I have an A73 5G.

Can someone please tell me how do I extend the time the phone rings before going to voicemail?

Regards,

Is 30 seconds the longest ring time extension on my Samsung Galaxy A53 Android mobile please? If so how do I do it?

When i go to change this it comes up with message -

Call forwarding when no reply for all basic services

Connection problem or invalid MMI code ?

Same for me...I have an old samsung galaxy.

@thomo111 @tsth: What I'd suggest is contacting your mobile network provider directly, as they will be able to guide you through the process of extending the number of the rings before a call is forwarded to Voicemail.

I have an old Samsung Galaxy S8 and I got it fixed....first you have to open your phone app and find the # your phone forwards to for voicemail...here's how I did it.  Hopefully it will work for you?

click the 3 dots

click settings

click supplementary services (let the page load) it should show call forwarding, call waiting, etc.

click call forwarding

click forward when busy and you will see a phone #.   write down that #

then use this method

Open your phone keypad

dial 61 + the number you wrote down including the 1 + 11 + the number of seconds you want/ # * then press the green call button...you should get a message on screen saying the change was successf

so here's a made up example

61 1 805 647-2318 11 15#*

This would set your phone to ring for `15 seconds before it goes to voice mail.

I got mine fixed...do NOT use your voicemail phone #!!!  See below.

**61*voicemailnumber**XX#.  (replace the XX with the number of seconds you want it to ring)

Just be aware when you use this method, you have to look up your forwarding phone # which is different from your voicemail phone #.  To find the forwarding phone # , open your phone keypad.  click the 3 dots, click settings, click supplementary services and let the page load.  Click call forwarding and it will show a phone #.  Use that phone number in the formula instead of the voicemail phone #.
