Increase the amount of time before call divert on Orange PAYG?

I'm using a Nokia N80 on Orange PAYG.

It currently diverts after 10 seconds of ringing to my answerphone.

Although the N80 gives me options to increase this to 30 seconds(under call
divert), if I try to do this - it errors saying it can't do it.

Spoke to Orange CS - the rep in India told me this wasn't something Orange
could do, I'd need to approach the manufacturer. She helpfully told me that
she could cancel my voicemail if I wanted.

Spoke to Orange CS - the rep in the UK told me there was nothing I could do.
He gave me a code to input - something like *61**[and some numbers I can't
recall now], but then said that this wasn't supported on PAYG. He was
right - it doesn't work.

I found a few threads from this NG going back to 2004 which seemed to
indicate that I'd need to ask Orange to cancel the divert, but not the
voicemail and then use the code?

This still the case?

By default your calls will be diverted to voicemail after 20 seconds

It is not possible to change this duration on pay as you go except for
completely disabling voicemail

If you had an orange contract phone then you are also unable to make
changes to any of your divert settings until you have had CS turn off
a "auto divert to answerphone" feature. Once done then contract
customers can change the settings.

Try this: **61*destination*11*nn# [send]
where nn is divert time in seconds (30 sec max, in 5 sec increments)

Always worked for me.

Mine are diverting after 10 seconds, which is pretty annoying.

This doesn't work.

Hello,I hope you could help me.I am in Micronesia and I called my
friend in UK.Unfortunately,I was able to talked a person unknown to
me.He said hello,and I asked him If I could talk to my friend(I
mentioned my friend's name).He said,please hold.I waited for few
minutes until my phone card got exhausted but I was not able to talked
to my friend.It happened for about 5 to 6 calls in different
occassions that same unknown person received the call.My friend's
phone is registered under O2 mobile.
