Express messenger number of rings

Change number of rings before voicemail answers

Go to Account overview > My digital phone > Check or manage voicemail & features.On the Voicemail Settings tab, scroll to General Preferences and select Set Number Of Rings Before Voicemail.Choose a setting ranging from 1 ring (6 seconds) to 6 rings (36 seconds).Select Save.

call like you are checking your voicemail, there are sometimes options with your carrier to adjust as you check voicemail.

Voice mails are set up from the phone company. Your phone has no control over the voice mailing service other than assigning a speed dial to it. You should call your phone company on their customer service number and they will tell your the number to call for setting up your voice mail box.

The ring count is determined by the voicemail system. The Edge 120 is a phone, not a voicemail system. What voicemail system do you have on your phone line?

First of all you need to know the number you dial for voicemail. Make a note of this.
Then, go to the dialpad and dial:
*#61#
and press Call.
A box will popup telling you what the redirect to voicemail delay is. On my handset the default was 15 seconds.
Now, dial:
**61******SECS#
and press Call
where *** is your voicemail number and SECS is the number of seconds you want it to ring for before diverting. For example, on Vodafone UK the voicemail number is 121 so to set the ring for 30 seconds before diverting, dial:
**61*121**30#
Once the box has come up saying it was successful you can use *#61# again to check the setting.

This happens when the number of rings to answer of the provider voicemail is less than the number of rings to answer that the answer machine is set for. For example: if your provider voicemail rings to answer is set for 3 rings and the answer machine is set for 4 rings then the voicemail answers before the 4th ring, therefore the answer machine will never get a message. I would call the service provider's customer service number and request they increase the rings to answer above the number of rings to answer that the answer machine is set for. If you don't want voicemail to answer any calls(when your line is busy or when the answer machine is turned off) ask your service provider to disable voicemail.

Hello There. Most household all in one units cannot operate on the ring characteristcs that you are describing.

They simply operate on the number of rings before automatic pickup to the fax machine. Therefore, you will need to just change the number of rings before the fax machine picks up. In this case however, you will not be able to use voicemail, since one or the other will will pickup.

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01102249.pdf
Page 63 and 64 (in PDF) or page 62 and 63 (hardcopy manual) explain the process.

Ignore the information about setting higher then voicemail. That information is typically only valid if you have the old voicemail devices in your home. Most people now adays get a voicemail service added to your telephone service, in which case you cannot control the voicemail as easily.

So again, in other words you will be sacrificing your voicemail for your fax machine. Only other way around it is to get a dedicated fax line to seperate the two numbers.

Hi,

This is a network related setting. Do the following.

from your home screen, type "* 61 * (voice mail access

number) ** (time in multiples of 5 ) #" and then press SEND. For
example, if my voicemail

access number is 404-555-1212 and I want it to ring for 20 seconds
before forwarding to

voicemail, I would type: *61*14045551212**20#

the voicemail ring count has to be setup on your phone line thru your voicemail menu,and has nothing to do with the answering machine. if you don't want the answering machine to pickup, just shut it off. follow the prompt's for your voicemail settings, there you'll be able to set the amount of rings you want.
hope this helps.
