@Jimd 

Details in this guide Guide: All you need to know about O2 Voicemail 901 

You may need to turn off wifi calling to send the code and some phones will only send on 3g data.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

None of the ways I've found anywhere work. The only thing I've not done is contact customer services, maybe that does work.

It's bizarre that O2 insist on inflicting such a short ring time on us and then break the method of addressing that and it seems it has been broken for some months as far as I can see.

Not great O2

Hi please can I have help? I have tried these instructions and my phone says it was successful. But there are still not enough rings before voicemail kicks in. It rings for 18 seconds. Thank you

You can also adjust the call divert times in your MyO2, @Honor02

Give it a go - screenshots above from the web version of your MyO2, here: https://accounts.o2.co.uk/signin

Good luck!

Covered in @jonsie guide albeit without screenshots.

A picture paints a thousand words, perhaps we can get some decent screenshots added to @CraigZ's instructions, and get it moved into the guide proper rather than tacked on in the replies... @Dave-O2?, any chance?
