change rings before voicemail picks up

thank you for posting on how to resolve my problem about changes on how long till my voicemail picks up i was going crazy cuz my phone would ring one time then went to voicemail but thanx to you everything is back to normal and it wasnt all complicated to do! have yourself a great day superbowl time go giants!

Thanks for the information.  Just picked up a new mobile phone and needed to changed the time.  4 rings and it was gone.  Thanks again, even though it's still relevant over a year after your post.

I just got the samsung Galaxy 4 but the phone goes to voicemail after 3-4 rings.  I have tried all the codes, and called AT&T as well as Samung.. I did the *#61#  and dial.  Then is shows up saying set to 20 sec.  Then I call my phone number and after 3 rings it goes to voicemail. This is not acceptable, I cant answer my phone that fast and I miss most all of my calls... Any advice that can help would be great.  Remember I am AT & T  with galaxy 4 phone.  

Your directions are clear still work fine.  Press and hold the 0 button to enter the + on the Lumia 1020.

Hello,

First of all, the code to extend number of rings on my AT&T phone before going to voicemail works. 🙂

Unlike most forums I have read, the instructions on using Google voicemail on my AT&Tphone doesn't work. It seems like you're pretty knowledgable so I am asking for your assistance.

When I first tried to set up Google voicemail on my AT&T phone, I would get an error, an automated voice saying that "this is not a working number." I was following the directions provided by Google inside the Google inbox interface. Typing:

**004***********#

*********** being my google voice number.

It did say "success" but as mentioned above, I was getting an error.

So I spent a week researching the internet, trying to find a solution. I would find conflicting information and everything I have tried up to this point has not worked.

I wonder, if the code you provided to set number of rings,
**61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30#
Would work if I put my google voice number instead of the +1xxxyyyzzzz?

In other words, that code would tell my AT&T phone to ring 30 seconds before going to my Google voicemail?

And by the way, I don't know where the + sign is on my phone dialer so not sure if this is my problem since I am not using it.

Also, not sure if I need to turn on/off my At&t's phone call forwarding? All of this is pretty confusing.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Check your ring tone: some are quite for a few seconds, just vibrates, before playing the ring tone.

THANK YOU!! This worked perfectly on my iPhone 6 with AT&T Wireless in June of 2015. Boy was it driving me crazy how few rings I had to get to me phone. Now I can get to it in time.

Been trying to fix this issue for some time.  Thank you Ace, your advice worked perfectly.
