2 second ring time then to message bank - need to know how to extend

not knowing what phone it is make this hard. It will be in the setup menus but most systems will probably be limited to 6.

Hello, Mary -

I checked the user manual for your Alcatel 3003G cell phone:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1150047/Alcatel-Tribe-3003g.html?page=1#manual

I did not find any information regarding increasing the length of time of rings of incoming calls in the manual. So, I thought the incoming rings length of time may be dependent upon your cell phone service provider, Vodafone.

I found some information on a Vodafone Support page:

How to increase the time before a call goes to voicemail?
(Quote)
Your Vodafone mobile is set to ring for 15 seconds before going to voicemail. You can change how long it rings for, choosing from 5 to 30 seconds in 5-second intervals.

To choose your desired ringing time:

• Enter **61*121*11* on your Vodafone mobile
• Choose the number of seconds you'd like your phone to ring for, followed by #
• Press Call
• A confirmation message will pop up on your screen with your new ring time

For example, if you want to set your Vodafone mobile to ring for 25 seconds, you enter **61*121*11*25#, and press Call. When the message pops up, you'll know it's all done.

Watch this simple video to find out how to increase the time before a call goes to voicemail.

Best wishes.

Not knowing your phone make & model I can offer advice from my own previous handsets, please Go into your settings menu, select phone setting & then answer setting, choose the longest amount of ring cycles offered, if this is not an option, try selecting a longer ring tone, or downloading a song as a ring tone, which will then play the length of the song making it ring longer... I hope this helps....

Extending your ringing tone You can change the length of your ringing tone by typing the below code into your phone.
**61*(mailbox number)**(number of seconds you want it to ring for)# send You can choose between 5 and 30 seconds. The standard ringing time is 15 seconds.
If you don't know your mailbox number it's just your normal mobile number with '5' added after the prefix. For example, 087 5 1234567.

dial **61*(the your message bank number)**30# this will extend the time it takes for your phone to divert to message bank to 30 secs. If you dont want message bank you can cancel call diverts in your seetings menu after putting in this code and it will still ring for 30 secs. Note: this does not work for Vodafone Australia

Most cell phones only play small sound bite from 10 to 20 seconds. I don't know if any play longer.

Call in to Customer Service, listen to prompts for tech support standard customer Service will just Fwd you there, ask the tech that you would like to extend the amount of rings before it goes to your voicemail some providers do it by rings, and i know at&t does it by seconds and if it is by secs good rule of thumb is 5 secs = 1 ring!

Hi,
This is a network specific setting. Type into phone (what iws written in the right box).

Set number of rings **61*YourVoiceMailNumber**N#@

YourVoiceMailNumber = your voice mail numer
N = Ring Time (up to 30sec)
@ = Send/OK button on your mobile phone

Good luck!

I don't know your country code or vmail quickdial number but try this using those numbers where I say.
Oh firstly if your fone is a prepaid you may need to ring your provider and ask them to extend the ring time.if not this might work
Pls let me know if it does.
** (country code) * (vmail number)**30# and press call this should extend the ring tone to 30 secs.
remember country code & vmail number have to be actual numbers dont try to type in the words and brackets
