Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2004Longer ring before call forwarding?
How do I get my phone to ring more than 3 or 4 times before it forwards to my voice mail. Sometimes it forward before I get the phone out of the belt holster. Nokia 6340i if that makes any difference. > How do I get my phone to ring more than 3 or 4 times before it > forwards to my voice mail.

There is a user setting under forwarding on the 6340i when it's operating on GSM but that may only work for non-VM forwarding. You can call customer service--I know they can change the time even on TDMA since I've done it before. HOWEVER, it's by time and I think 30 seconds is max so whether it'll be more than 4 rings.....

I don't kow if they will change the TDMA/amps ringtime or not. And as Jud said, 30 seconds, I believe is the longest. >How do I get my phone to ring more than 3 or 4 times before it >forwards to my voice mail.

First the system must find you (the caller hears a ring in the mean time). Then of course your phone rings. The number of rings is set by the carrier and you cannot change it. The number of rings YOU hear are not necessarily the number of rings that are sent. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net >Well, keep in mind that there are several factors involved.

Being the "expert" I'm surprised you are not aware that ringing time before forwarding is very possible in many cases. Many handsets have a setting in the forwarding menus to change the delay before forward. Those that do not you can always use the "star-hash" codes such as are listed at http://www.wynasia.com/gsm_standard_codes.htm . Before you say that there's no way to change the delay time it might have been a good idea for you to check it out. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - remove NO from .NOcom to reply | >Well, keep in mind that there are several factors involved.

I don't think that will change the ring time for the TDMA/AMPS side of his phone, only the GSM. I think he will have to call CS if there is no setting on the 6340i to change ring time for the TDMA/AMPS part, unless by changing the GSM ring time using those codes, it does a global reset of ring timers. Does anyone know? >I don't think that will change the ring time for the TDMA/AMPS side of his >phone, only the GSM. Actually, Jason, although there are timers set that you can set to drop to Voice Mail with GSM, the number of times that the carrier will ring the phone before going to voice mail is set by the carrier. They will not change it for each individual. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net >Being the "expert" I'm surprised Being the a.shole that you are I am suprised that you can actualyl realate to such things.

I'll drop it when you drop the "attitude" that you are the be all and and end all of knowlege about things cellular. I don't give a flying fig if you've installed 10,000 cellular sites the bottom line is that you posture yourself as some sort of expert and there are lots of things that you are just flat out wrong about and of course you would never admit such. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - remove NO from .NOcom to reply >I'll drop it when you drop the "attitude" I have no attitude. Let's compare who gets paid for what to make their living. Whatdayasay to that? I am a consulting Engineer and design Cellular communication systems. I have designed, installed, tested and integrated systems for Cingular, AT&T WS (GSM of recent times), T-Mobile (Voicestream), and United States Cellular. I have also designed and installed trunked radio systems using GE, Ericsson (now GE too), and Motorola - including Nextel. I have designed, installed tested and turned up Fiber Optic systems around the world as well as Microwave systems around the world. "Around the world" includes the USA, Differing countries in the Caribbean, Africa, Pakistan, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and Vietnam (recent year Vietnam). I get paid a lot of money for my ability and knowledge. If I am wrong, I will of course admit it. But when I am wrong. Not just when Joseph thinks I am. Your turn........ -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net >I am a consulting Engineer and design Cellular communication systems.

Which still don't mean diddly squat. Perhaps you do know about installing cellular systems. That doesn't mean that you know everything else about cellular systems as you are always so eager to volunteer. I've never installed a cellular system but I know how to read. You've made many statements about phones or operation of systems that are just flat out mis-statements. I don't doubt that you've installed bazillions of systems. That doesn't mean that you are the be-all and end-all of information about things cellular. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - remove NO from .NOcom to reply > How do I get my phone to ring more than 3 or 4 times before it > forwards to my voice mail.

The default is 3 rings; they can double to 6. It is not an exact ring count due to numerous variables in the way the network operates. On the 6340i, go to your call forwarding menu, there will be an option for Set Delay Time. It's really simple if you'd just look at your damn phone. |
