taken from iluvandroid:
incoming calls go to voicemail before you can answer the phone? Its a common issue where many calls are missed because the default timeout is 15 seconds which is too short for many people. This is a guide to easily change the time before your mobile diverts the call to voicemail from anything from 5 to 30 seconds. Just follow these steps: 1. Enter *#61*11# and press Send/Talk on your phone. 2. Write down the number your calls are currently forwarded to. This is your voicemail deposit number. 3. Decide how long you want the phone to ring in 5 second intervals. The maximum time is 30 seconds. I have mine set at 25 seconds. 4. Now enter **61*[number from step 2]*11*[number from step 3, use 2 digits]# and press Send/Talk. Example: **61*441234567890*11*25# Then press Send/Talk This will now change your default ring time before voicemail answers to 25 seconds. To test if it was successful, enter *#61*11# and press Send/Talk for the new value. Hope this helps! http://iluvandroid.com/how-to-change-the-time-before-voicemail-diverts-call/

My phone suddenly started cutting off after ringing just once and it was driving me mad trying to sort it out. Found this site, Douglas provided the answer, I followed his very clear instructions and hey presto my normal ring time is resumed. Thank you Douglas! I have now registered and I am sure I will be referring to the community often. Great site. Thanks and bye for now Joy

Hi Everyone,
Douglas I hope you can help! I have followed your instructions to the letter and all that comes up is "Connection problem or invalid MMI code." ... sorry to bother but what does this mean? Hope you can help me! (P.S 1st blog ever.... anywhere!!!) |

Note that the code and parameters needed to change answer timeout may be network specific. I had to call my provider to get this.
For EE (Was T-Mobile) UK the code for 25 sec (the max for this network) the code is:- **61*447987739573**25# |
