Change how many times the phone rings before it goes to answer phone

[osmildmay]

Hi

How are youse?

Not like the other topics, ... this is the correct code to type into your phone to get the ringer to ring for different amounts of time before going to answer phone;

**61*07123456789*#xx* 

Then Press The Call Button On Some Phones after typing the above code.

where "07123456789" = your mobile number 

"xx" = the time durantion in 5 second incriments "5" being minimum 5 seconds. Not sure of maximum, use to be 30 seconds. 

e.g. **61*07123456789*#30* call button

makes the call ring for 30 seconds before going to answer phone.

Hope that helps.

@FredDinning actually having the same problem. 

It accepts the code .... says something like "MMI Complete", but doesn't lengthen the ringtone ?!?!

@Leanne_T Hi thanks for the praise but im not worthy of it unfortunately, as it still doesn't work. Is there any chance of getting a definite answer from the EE technical team on how to lengthen the ringtone please? Does this code no longer work for the user / customer? Is it some thing that EE technical support have to increase?

[FredDinning]

Thanks - glad that its not just me being incompetent! I tried to phone EE before posting here but the queue was endless!

Hi @FredDinning and @osmildmay

The GSM codes do still work for some devices, I believe. How long is your phone ringing for? I think the standard is 20 seconds.
