Hello garoach, we're here to help you reset the number of rings before your phone goes to voicemail.

 

Here is how to extend your ringing time on your wireless devices:

  1. Dial *#61# from your phone and send.
  2. On the screen that pops up, look for a line under Voice Call Forwarding that says Forwards to + followed by an eleven digit number.
  3. Write down the eleven digit number and tap Dismiss.
  4. Dial **61*+ and the eleven digit number, followed by *11*30# (if you want to have the full thirty seconds ring time; otherwise, enter less where we have 30 listed but enter it in increments of five.) There should be no spaces between the + and the eleven digit number and the *.

Go here for additional voicemail support with your device.

 

Let us know if this helps.

Hi there garoach, we'll be happy to inform you how to dial + from your iPhone 14 Pro Max! 

 

In order to dial + from your Iphone 14 Pro Max hold down zero on your keypad for 3 seconds, and it will dial out + for you. We hope this helps.

I just set mine to the full 30 seconds. How do I validate that it is actually set correctly?

Is there another 61 number to call to see my current config?

Was able to successfully change this setting without using the `+` on my account.

According to `https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1009168`, this can only be changed by calling AT&T support line. Tried this first, but was unsuccessful. First tech I got was not able to change at all in his system, so he had me try a different MMI code. His code failed and gave me `call forwarding or MMI problem` error. He escalated the call.

Escalation engineer claimed to have successfully changed this in his system, but upon testing it failed.

This MMI code worked fine for me. Tested by getting someone to call me and started timer to verify wait time.

Someone should write a doc for support that informs them of the correct MMI code, and/or proper procedures to change this in AT&T's  internal system. Kinda surprised that this is not something that could be changed by calling your voicemail, and making changes in the voicemail settings.

Dial **61*  then the eleven digit call forwarding number,  then *11*30#   Where 30 is maximum number of seconds, which (Edited per community guidelines).

To verify dial:  *#61#

@ATTHelp To confirm something: Is the 11 digit number your phone number? So could you basically just dial something like **61*+15555555555*11*25# (if 1-555-555-5555 was your phone number, and you want 25 seconds)?
