Nokia 3220 not ringing long enough

My Mum's recently bought a Nokia 3220 and it's great except it doesn't ring for very long before going to voicemail. There's nothing in the manual about allowing more rings before it cuts off and I can't find anything in the menus. I've tried different tones and they all last for a few seconds before ringing off. Does anyone know how to change the length?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

    I don't think there is an option on the phone to set the ring length before it goes to divert, it may be a network option, try ringing your operator.

    Ring customer services and they can change the length the phone rings for. I think I had mine changed to 15 rings with vodafone.

    + however may £2 coins I have saved in my Terramundi since 2000.

    K,Tell her to scroll the address book.There is an option in there that says

    Voicemail OFF (1760)
    Voicemail ON (1750)

    Just click and ring the voicemail OFF option and it will turn it off :)

    She still wants voicemail to kick in but not after just two rings!

    if it's the same as mine, which is a nokia 3120, do this.....

    go to settings
    then call settings
    then go to call divert
    go down to divert if unanswered
    click activate
    click answer phone

    then it will give you a choice of seconds it should ring for, from 5-30 seconds, then press select


    hope this helps

    That works on my 7250 but not on the 3220 - after Answer Phone there are no more options.

    Thanks anyway, kai666.
