If you are talking about:

Ring Time before going to your own in-house ansaphone, that will be a setting on your ansaphone.
Ring Time before going to 1571 Voicemail, dial 1571>2>3>2>3 for a long ring.

It’s the later. The phone service included.
how do I input the numbers? I tried doing 1571 then other numbers and dial the whole number

Just dial 1571 & follow the instructions. I've given the option nos. to guide you. They stand for : Personal Options (2) > Calling Options (3) > To change ring period (2) > Long Ring Period (3).

When I call 1571 she’s just says you have no messages goodbye and hangs up

EE's free 1571 service does not allow the options @XRaySpeX has mentioned. I believe other providers offer a paid service that can include extra functionality.

You could try calling CS they may have an option to extend the time.

Ah, OK! Seems that EE only offer the basic 1571 Voicemail service.
