o2 how do I change the length of time the phone rings before ..

o2 ... how do I change the length of time the phone rings before ..

... the woman comes on saying whatever it is she says about no answer.

Here's the situation:
My friend and I and her friend and her mother are all on o2 (4 people ;-) 4
o2 phones)
my friend rings me, her mother or her other friend and her phone makes only
six rings her end before the o2 voice stops the call.

I phone my friend or her friend phones her and our phones allow at least 14
rings before giving up.
My friend and I don't have voicemail activated, but her other friend does.

When my friend phones a land line it will ring till the end of time ... (I
did not test this till the end of time but it rings a long time.


We want to increase the time her phone takes to give up ringing out to other
o2 numbers

any ideas?

ok I increased the rings my end by activating voicemail and then keying in
**61*901*11*30# where 30 is the number of second before voice mail kicks in.
That's an improvement .. but it used to ring until the cows came home with
no voicemail activated ..
30 seconds is still not long enough for my friends elderly mother
so I'm still looking for a better solution

Disable this divert completely, it's something like ##61#

On my elderly Cellnet SIM (which still works, despite not having been
topped up in 5 years..!) it's 1750 to turn voicemail on and 1760 to turn
it off.

thanks Chris it worked .. my phone now rings for a long time.. now we only
have to set my friend's mother's phone the same way, and then at least she
will have a fair chance of getting to the phone before it rings off.
