how can I get O2 to extend ring time before a call goes to voicemail?

[Anonymous]

My Nokia 300 only rings twice before going to voicemail. This is not enough time for me to get at my phone, unlock it and answer it.

Nokia website tells me that only the service provider can extend the number of rings / ring time. How can I get O2 to do it?

Dial  **61*901*11*30# then press the call button.

I've tried this on my Sony phone and it still only rings 4 times before going to answer phone.  Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

That is the only way other than turning off answerphone completely.
Make sure you are entering the code correctly and set the time to 30 secs.

I have recently acquired a Samsung S8 and the ring time is too short for me to get to the phone.  Can anyone offer a suggestion.

Just dial as if you were calling a phone number then press the call button.
