How to change number of rings before voicemail on samsung

You can change how long your mobile is set to ring before going to voicemail from 5 to 30 seconds, in 5-second intervals. It's set to 15 seconds as standard.

To change the time:

  1. Dial **61*121*10*
  2. Then, before pressing call, enter the number of seconds you’d like your phone to ring for, followed by #
  3. Press Call
  4. A confirmation message will pop up on your screen with your new ring time

For example, setting it to 25 seconds would look like this: **61*121*11*25#.

This applies for both voicemail and Visual Voicemail.

      Hi,

      You may find this is something in your Networks Voicemail settings. 

      Most offer the option of extending the length of time your phone rings before Voicemail kicks in.

      Although its not the exact solution but if you cancel call diverts it will allow your phone to carry on ringing for at least a minute, simply dial ##002#.

      Can I change the number of rings before going to voicemail on Android?

      Although there's no setting on your Android that changes the number of rings specifically, you can select a longer or shorter ringtone so you hear more or less sound. This will not change the length of time it takes for the call to transfer to voicemail, though—just the number of audible rings you'll hear.

      Can I change how long my phone rings before going to voicemail?

      You can choose for your phone to ring for 15, 20, 25 or 30 seconds before diverting the call to voicemail. Here's how: Open the Phone app on your phone. Type the following: * * 6 1 * 1 0 1 * * [15, 20, 25 or 30] #

      How do I change the ring before going to voicemail?

      How do I change the length of time before a call goes to....
      Dial **61*121*10*.
      Then, before pressing call, enter the number of seconds you'd like your phone to ring for, followed by #.
      Press Call..
      A confirmation message will pop up on your screen with your new ring time..

      Can you reduce the number of rings before voicemail picks up?

      It's not based on the number of rings, it's based on time in seconds, and that is controlled by your cellular carrier. Calls are directed to Voicemail after 25 seconds, usually four or five rings. You cannot change the number of rings permitted before Voicemail picks up your calls.
