How to change the length of the ringtone before the call is send to VM

1) *#61# in the dial pad

this will then bring up a number and how long your ring time is write down the number you'll need it later
2) on the dial pad again type this
**61*(put the number you written down before here e.g. 07923874658)*11*(how long u want it to ring for before voicemail e.g. 30 for 30 seconds)#
so it should look like this **61*07923874658*11*30#
3) exit everything, back to the dial pad, dial  *#61# just to double check that it worked

 thanks your initial instruction worked a treat .  been really bugging me that it rings for such a short time before heading to VM.  Happy now. (Also get to hear more of my ringtone - Love Eagle Rock !!)

I keep getting this message: Call forwarding Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

Just one mistake I may be making.....after all the info is entered.....how do I exit to the dial pad ? I have done numerous ways.

It's network dependent but check my solution.

Hi. 

Thanks, but this didn't work for me. I get "incorrect mmi code", after typing in the second command with the amended ring duration.

Is this code current? I have an xz3.

Kind regards, Dave

You might want to google your carrier network, maybe they use a different code
