We have recently bought a Nokia 6086 for my mum.The problem we have is we can't get the phone to ring anymore than four rings before it goes to the answer phone.Does anybody know how to make the phone ring for a longer peiod of time to allow us to answer it. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Emily

    yes, depends which network you are on though. you need your mailbox number and then you put in the network command. **61*10*mailboxnumberininterntationalformat*numberofsecondsbeforeitdivers# send

    In that case Orange might be different. you'll need to ring them to get the mailbox number anyway........?

    Just been onto orange and they have given me the code. Do you know if we send that as a text message or dial it as a phone number.
    Thanks again

    I did this as I wanted it to answer more quickly and it changed ok but now I want to change it back again and it comes back with an 'unknown application' message!!

    Is there any way of changing it again or resetting the default answer time?

    It should work all the time ??
    Has anything else changed since you changed it last ?

    the process is exactly the same Nikkisun, the only difference is going to be the amount of seconds it rings before diverting that you will put in.

    the amount of seconds has to be divisible by 10 so you can't have 7 seconds for instance
