number of rings before message picks up

[micasey]

I tried dialing *94 to reset number of rings before voicemail answers, but get no tone , only silence and then the busy sound. Help, I have been working on thbis awhile and continuously give up. Three rings is too short to get to phone.

Just to confirm, you do have the rogers answering service?

[micasey]

yes, I do have rogers answering service

Can you be more specific regarding the steps to take

[Pauly]

sure. lift up the handset, you will HEAR the dial tone, look at your phones numeric keys, and PRESS * 94, you will hear a confirmation tone, then PRESS the number that corrisponts to how many RINGS you want before your voice mail answers, so if u press 2, it wil ring 2 times, and if u press 9 it will ring 9 times, cant get any more specific than this.

This worked like a charm!  Thank you for solving this problem for me...  My voicemail was picking up after 2 rings!  Now it's set to 6...   Perfect!

Thanks again!!

I have tried doing these steps on my rogers business line and it DOES NOT work. I dial *94 and it says it is incompatible?

Please help!

Hi @sdugdaleTitan welcome to the forums!

It sounds like you are setup as a business account that might not allow this feature.

How many lines are on this business account?

If you call into customer service a rogers agent should be able to change the number of rings before it goes to voicemail (depending if you have authorization of course to do so from your company)

Hope this helps.

I have an 86 year old Mother for whom I have a home phone .  It rings 3 times then quits.  Unless she is right by the phone she misses 100% of her calls.  What can I do to fix this problem?  She has no other phone for forwarding.
