Hi All,

I have an orange Mobile phone, and cant find the booklet anywhere. Does anyone know how I can extend the amount of time it takes for the answer phone to kick in? It kicks inafter 2 rings at the moment and I can never get to it in time.

Thanks In advance

Mark

    See if the works.

    Type this into your phone...

    **61*yournumber*11*nn# (nn is number of seconds to ring)

    Hope that helps.

    It won't, why would you have to enter your number?

    hi number9.andy,
    well I can only say thanks for the info, I have struggled with the orange 345 help line for two weeks to solve this problem, and you have solved it for me, the first helper gave me the wrong No, (it had a 7 after the real No) it was actually doing the 30sec delay i wanted but cut the caller off at the end and it was this problem i have struggled with

    thanks m8
