Is it possible to change the ring length?

[Guest SO3]

The problem is if the mda is in another room, etc, I never get to it in time to answer it!

So is it possible to change the number of times the mda rings before it is answered or goes on to answer machine? I am not talking about the handsfree setting which only works with a headset!

This is done through this standard GSM code where destination is the number of your voicemail box. retrieve it first using the query command on the last line.

No Answer

Delay nn seconds: max 30 seconds, in 5 second increments

Set: **61*destination*nn#[sEND]

Cancel: ##61#[sEND]

Query: *#61#[sEND]

Look for 'gsm codes' on th einternet for lots of more usefull commands.

How to I use this?

[Guest RickDawson]

type the code in your mobile as if you were typing a normal number...

then just get the mobile to dial/call it.

Yeah, this is a setting with your operator, not on the phone itself. Mine rings for ages because I don't have messagebank (voicemail)

[Guest rmg]

heh, I also have voicemail switched off. Most MP3 ringtones are just getting to a good bit after 30 seconds ;-)

I have tried all these with no joy, any other suggegtions?

Query: *#61#[sEND]

Query: *#61*11#[sEND]

Query: *#61*25#[sEND]

Query: *#61*13#[sEND]

Query: *#61*89#[sEND]

All I got was "Forward if no reply is enabled to "voicemail" for voice after 15 seconds.

One final thought! If there's anyone out there!

Does the GSM 900 (Europe) Band have to be put on, do use these codes?

As I can't seem to turn it on!

Well, in my opinion that prooves that the query function at least works. Try obtaining the voicemailboxno from your operatorsettings somewhere (in your phone settings or from your provider site), & try

*#61*0123456789*30# to set the timeout to 30 seconds, where 0123456789 is the number of your voicemailbox.

I don't believe a GSM xxx Mhz Band makes a difference, more the extent to which your provider supporst gsm commands.

[Guest bill door]

hmm. When I try that exact code with my mailbox number, I get the reply "invalid parameter" :)

I've just tried this too - it might be down to the operator's settings or permissions or some such?

I am on orange uk - hence the command (it seems) should have read

**61*07973100123*25# (for 25 secs)

it comes back with 'command not supported', whilst the query command does work,

and comes back with the number and the delay that is currently set.

It turns out that you need to use two ** in front of the no of seconds, i.e.

**61*0123456789**25#

Aparently, Orange differs a bit in using standard GSM codes...

[Guest inlinesk8a]

i recommend you to us "White Strips- Blue Orchid" as your mp3 ringtone :-)

then you dont have to wait 30seconds to answer the phone and the other person wont put the phone down, so you both win, lol

or you can just get a crappy nokia 3310 tone.

[Guest beersoft]

and iirc you cant have it longer than 30 seconds, due to the spec of GSM

(and i only have 27 seconds of ringtone to account for the delay in connection and overring)

Confirmed that the two ** in front of the seconds works for Vodafone too \o/

/listens to 30 seconds of Ace of Spades rather than talking to people

[Guest coronet]

Hi. This works successfully, minus the fact that when I forward my call to my voicemail it says "You cannot leave a voicemail for that number. Sorry".

It seems as though I have the wrong number that I reffering it to? Where do I find the number to send the destination to?

For Cingular Customers, use this code:

**61*destination**nn*nn#[sEND]

For some reason, you must enter the wait number twice. I'm not sure why...

Can also confirm this works on Orange UK.
