Do you ever get frustrated when you miss an important call because your phone doesn’t ring long enough? Or maybe you feel like your phone rings too many times before going to voicemail? Whatever the reason, changing the number of rings on your Android phone is a simple process that can help you tailor your phone’s settings to better fit your needs.
Step 1: Open the Dialer App
The first step to changing the number of rings on your Android phone is to open the dialer app. This is the app you use to make phone calls. If you can’t find it on your home screen, you can usually access it by swiping up from the bottom of the screen or by tapping the “Phone” icon in your app drawer.
Step 2: Enter a Code
Once you have the dialer app open, you’ll need to enter a code to access your phone’s settings. The code you need to enter will depend on your phone carrier. Here are some of the most common codes:
AT&T:
*61*XXXXXXXXXXX*11*YY#
Replace the Xs with your voicemail number (you can find this in your phone’s settings) and the Ys with the number of seconds you want your phone to ring before going to voicemail.
Verizon:
*71XXXXXXXXXX
Replace the Xs with your voicemail number.
T-Mobile:
*61*XXXXXXXXXXX*11*YY#
Replace the Xs with your voicemail number and the Ys with the number of seconds you want your phone to ring before going to voicemail.
Step 3: Press Call
After you’ve entered the code, press the call button to make the call. You won’t actually be making a call, but rather accessing your phone’s settings. You should see a message on the screen that says something like “Setting Activation Succeeded.”
Step 4: Verify Your Settings
To verify that your new settings have been applied, call your phone from another phone and count the number of rings before it goes to voicemail. If the number of rings is different than before, your new settings have been applied successfully.
Step 5: Adjust as Needed
If you find that the number of rings is still not to your liking, you can always go back and change the settings again. Just follow the same steps and enter a new code with your desired number of rings.
Changing the number of rings on your Android phone is a simple process that can help you better tailor your phone’s settings to fit your needs. By following these steps, you can ensure that you never miss an important call again.
