Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / December 2004Setting a delay
How can I set a 30 second delay before the call will be forwarded to VM? As of now I only get about 19-20 seconds before the call is automatically forwarded to VM. I miss a lot of calls because 20 seconds sometimes doesn't give me enough time to answer a call especially if I left the phone in another room and I have to either climb up or down a 3 story townhouse. Any suggestions appreciated >How can I set a 30 second delay before the call will be forwarded to VM? As of >now I only get about 19-20 seconds before the call is automatically forwarded >to VM.

The "destination" is the voice mailbox number, not your mobile number! Do a Query first to get the correct destination number.

The below query doesn't work for me--says not available. The shorter queries like *#61# work. But none of the longer strings with *11# in them work. > [POSTED TO alt.cellular.cingular - REPLY ON USENET PLEASE] > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > The "destination" is the voice mailbox number, not your mobile number! > Do a Query first to get the correct destination number. >Do you have to set it first?

It does work on Cingular. You may be roaming on some other network (e.g., ATTWS, Suncom, T-Mobile). Or you may be in an area where Cingular hasn't implemented that feature. >So since I'm a Cingular customer, this quote of yours isn't exactly correct? > "May not work on all networks, but does work on Cingular."

There was a recent thread about normal forwarding and the default/global/master no-answer voice mail forwarding that is in effect if no manual forwarding is active. The 61 code above is the "normal" forwarding code that overrides the default to voice mail. Once you use it to change the delay and then cancel it the account will still forward to VM--but will the new delay time work for that or will it revert back to the original delay? If it reverts then the OP would need to use 61 from then on just to have calls go to VM--not good. My suggestion would be to call CS. They can change the delay to 30 seconds for the default VM forwarding for the account. They did it for me awhile back without a quibble.

Or try this, it worked for me. http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?s=dcedcf8341e903cffbe28969eab07e97&thread id=364632 bamp Taking a moment's reflection, NavelGuy00 mused: | Any suggestions appreciated I just called Cingular, and they extended it for me. |
