Increase time the iPhone rings before diverting to Voicemail

[Anonymous]

O2's FAQ for iPhone has the following topic:

"Can I increase the length of time the iPhone rings before diverting to voicemail?


Yes, just like any other handset you can change the length of time the iPhone rings before diverting to voicemail by entering **61*901*NN# SEND (NN is the number of seconds in increments of 5 and a maximum of 30 seconds)."

This code is incorrect. It should be "**61*901*11*NN# SEND"

Hope this helps anyone.

OK, I know I'm probably asking a question to which there is an obvious answer......

I've read the postings about how to increase the number of rings and it seems very easy.

BUT - first, I can't find a star symbol on my iphone 5c  - it's not amongst the characters or the numbers .

Please can someone advise?

Also, where do I type the code to change the nimber of rings - does that go in the message box?  If so, what number do I send the message to?

Sorry to be a bit dim.

Thanks for any help.

Just open the phone and use the ordinary dialling app. Just enter the code as though you were making a call. You'll find the star button on the keypad.
